This research was conducted using experimental research methods. The research subjects were students of class X SMA Al Washliyah 3 Medan in the academic year 2021-2022, with their parallel classes and there were 60 students. Each class consists of 30 students and the entire population is taken as a sample, then divided into two groups. The first group as the experimental group was taught using the Cooperative Script Method, while the second group as the control group was taught without using the Cooperative Script Method. The instrument used to collect the data was a multiple choice test set. Pre-test and post-test were given. Data were collected statistically by applying the t-test formula. The results showed that the observed t was higher than the table value 5,24 > 1. 67 at a significant level 05 and the degree of freedom . The null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative was accepted. This implies that reading using the Cooperative Script Method has a significant effect on students' reading comprehension. Cooperative Script Method. Effectiveness. Reading Comprehension INTRODUCTION In all levels of education in Indonesia, the satisfaction of four English language learning skills still has many difficulties, especially reading comprehension. In reading comprehension students learn how to find, and master the content of reading. At class, students are trained to understand reading but still have serious problems for most Indonesian students. The ability to read is strongly influenced by the ability of vocabulary mastery and reading habits possessed by students so as to understand the reading easily (Ananda & Hayati, 2. Chastain . n Farzaneh & Nejadansari 2. Reading is a receptive and decoding skill in which the reader receives the writerAos message and tries to recreate the writerAos message to the extent possible. The reading goal is to read for meaning or to recreate the writerAos meaning. By definition, reading involves comprehension. When readers do not comprehend, they are not reading. From the statements, it can be concluded by reading, students get information, develop imagination, and extend knowledge. So, reading is an important skill that must be learned and developed by the students. Students ability to read is one of the most important think in learning English, becauseby reading they may improve their knowledge and they may get many information. The students only can speak or write if they read something before. It means that by reading, students will get some information to be shared to others.

On the other hand, teachers do not apply learning models to keep them interested. Based on the researcher's experience while observing the teaching and learning process during an internship in class X, the researcher found several problems related to students' reading comprehension. The main problem is about the low understanding of students in understanding the contents of written texts. English teachers still depend on the use of textbooks that contain monotonous activities. This situation causes interactions to tend to be teacher-centered during reading class. There are no interesting activities during the teaching and learning process. Most of the activities are reading aloud, listening to the teacher's explanations and practicing translating from student textbooks. There is no question and answer activity and also no group These problems have a negative impact on students' reading comprehension in English class. The researcher also found that the problem was caused by the way the teacher delivered the material and the boringactivities carried out during the teaching and learning process. Actually, there are many learning models that can be applied to help students be more active incarrying out reading comprehension activities. There are many methods that can be used. One of them is the cooperative script The cooperative script method is included in the cooperative learning model. The cooperative script method technique is the delivery of teaching materials that begins with lectures, group discussions, working on practice questions, such as the teacher distributing discourse or material to students then giving students the opportunity to read them for a moment and make summaries such as answering questions given by the teacher. Then, a student as a representative in his group presents and explains the material, while other students from other groups can add incomplete ideas. In this process, the teacher acts as a motivator, guide and evaluator (Supriadi. Resti Citra Dewi, 2. The success of the cooperative learning model, especially the cooperative script method, will be determined by the student's achievement in understanding the readings of the available texts. Therefore, the researcher as a mediator choosing one of the cooperative models, namely in this study as a problem solving concluded that: "The Effectiveness of Using Cooperative Script Method on Students' English Reading Comprehension at Grade X of SMA Al-Washliyah 3 Medan". In this research, the researcher hopes that the use of the Cooperative Script method will create a pleasant learning atmosphere so active learning is expected to affect their reading comprehension skills. According to Constant Weaver . n Devayanta 2.

RESEARCH METHO This research used the quantitative research method. According to Sugiyono . quantitative methods can be interpreted as research methods based on the philosophy of positivism, used to examine certain populations or samples, data collection using research instruments, statistical data analysis, with the aim of testing predetermined hypotheses. This research used an experimental design. This means that researchers used two groups, namely the control group and the experimental group. The population in this research all is students of class X SMA Al Washliyah 3 Medan students. The sample of this research is 60 students. The researcher chose 30 students from class X IPA as the eksperimental group and 30 students from class X IPS as the control group. In collecting data, the researcher used a multiple-choice reading test as the Multiple-choice questions consist of 20 questions consisting of 4 choices of items a, b, c, and d. In the multiple-choice test. The researcher used pre-test and post-test. A pre-test was given to both groups, namely the experimental and the control before The researcher gave the treatment to students in the experimental class by using cooperative script method while control class without cooperative script method. After finishing giving treatment. The researcher gave a post-test for experimental class and control class students. After collecting the data from experimental and control groups, the researcher used t-test formula to know the significant effect of the result of this RESULT AND DISCUSSION Before Applying Cooperative Script Method The Researcher decided class X IPS as the control group. The studentsAo in control group were thought without using cooperative script method. In this research the control class was consist of 30 students. Table 1.

Discussion In this part, the researcher discussion about the significant effect of cooperative script method on students' English reading comprehension and teaching without cooperative script method on students' English reading comprehension at grade X of SMA AlWashliyah 3 Medan. After conducting the experiment, it can be found that there is a significant effect of using cooperative script method on students' English reading comprehension. The researcher used the t-test formula with a level significance of 0,05 and a degree of freedom Based on the t-table with df 56 at t-critical 0,05, it is obtained 1,67. ALACRITY : Journal Of Education Volume 2 No 1 . Page : 68 - 77 If compared the value of t-observed and t-table, it shows that the value of t- observed is higher than the value of t-table or 5,24 > 1,67 and it means that t- observed is higher than the critical region. Therefore, the null hypothesis states there is no significant effect of using cooperative script method on students' English reading comprehension at grade X of SMA Al Washliyah 3 Medan. Based on previous research, from Enji Putri Ivantara entitled "The Effect of Using Cooperative Script on Student's Reading Comprehension at Grade Elevent of SMA Negri 2 Pematangsiantar", and from Wandelinus Oscar Janggo. "The Effectiveness of Using Cooperative Script Method to Improve StudentsAo Reading Comprehension on Recount Text of 8thGrade Students of SMP N Kewapante. Maumere in Academic Year 2017/ 2018" shows that teaching reading comprehension was effective and there is a significant influence from use of cooperative script method. CONCLUSION Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that the use of the cooperative script method on students' reading comprehension skills in the post-test experimental class showed the highest score of 100 and the pre-test score of the experimental class decreased the value of 50. students' reading and has a great and positive influence on the teaching of reading comprehension. Students who are taught using the cooperative script method have higher scores than students who are taught without the cooperative script method, so that the observed t-value is higher than the t-table value or 5,24 > 1. This can be seen from the difference between the experimental and control classes from the post-test results where the average experimental class (X) is 27 while the control class average (Y) is 16. that the research hypothesis (H. is accepted. This means that there is a significant effect of using the cooperative script method on students' reading comprehension skills. REFERENCES
