English Text INTRODUCTION 1 Background of Research There are many languages in the world, including English. Many people speak English, which is an international language all over the world. For most people, learning English is crucial, especially in educational. Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the four skills involved in learning English. Reading is one of the basic abilities in English that must be mastered by students. Husniati . stated that Information and knowledge cannot be obtained if the students do not understand the content and meaning of the text. However, the essential aspect of reading is the comprehension of the context itself. According to Ratna et al. reading is an activity in which some abilities are used to process reading text in order to understand the content of entire text. Moreover, reading allows the studentsAo to expand their knowledge of the language in terms of grammar, discourse structure, and Prety et al. stated that in improving reading comprehension, a technique or method was needed that could be used in the teaching and learning process so that students could be happy and actively involved. There are many techniques or methods which can be used in teaching reading comprehension such as Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR). 2 Problem of Research The problem of this research are: What is the technique that teacher use to teach reading at tenth grade in SMA Swasta Yayasan Perguruan Keluarga Pematangsiantar? How is the implementation of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) to improve studentsAo reading comprehension at tenth grade in SMA Swasta Yayasan Perguruan Keluarga Pematangsiantar? 3 The Aim of Research The aim of the research were to find out the technique that teacher use to teach reading at tenth grade in SMA Swasta Yayasan Perguruan Keluarga Pematangsiantar and the implementation of This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4. 0 International License Bilingual: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Vol. 6 No. 2, 2024 DOI: 10. 36985/7dky1w63 e Ae ISSN: 2302 - 6596 Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) to improve studentsAo reading comprehension at tenth grade in SMA Swasta Yayasan Perguruan Keluarga Pematangsiantar. II. REVIEW OF LITERATURE 1 Concept of Reading According to Girsang . stated that reading is one of the important English skills for students to learn because reading can provide some information for them. The interaction between the researcher and the reader is made possible via text. It is through the text that the researcher encodes his message, and it is also through the text that the reader gets the meaning of the message by decoding it reading is the process of interpreting the symbols of the written words. It means that reading is a very important aspect of learning and must be mastered by students. Meanwhile according to Sari . Reading is one of the main skills that are needed by the students from elementary school up to university. By reading, the students are able to get a lot of knowledge and information based on what they read. So, without reading the students surely never know about all of the anything which is happen either change in situation of education, economic, or necessary information that occurs. Based on the definition described above, the researcher concludes that Reading is a vital skill for language learning and academic achievement, as it aids in acquiring knowledge and information. is essential for students to understand the language used in texts and identify, interpret, and evaluate Reading is a process that enables interaction between the researcher and the reader, enabling them to decode and understand the message. It is a crucial aspect of learning that must be mastered by students from elementary school to university. Reading provides students with valuable knowledge and information, enabling them to stay informed about changes in education, economics, and necessary information. 2 Concept of Reading Comprehension Goodman & Wood . 4, cited in Octavia & Jufri, 2020:. stated that reading comprehension is an interactive process between language and thought. This implies that the reader requires a range of skills to access knowledge from a written text. It involves expertise in word identification and their context, in grouping terms into thinking units, and thus sentences may be Agung et al. stated that reading comprehension is essential for students to know about the positive impacts of reading. Students can improve their knowledge and future employment prospects by reading a text or passage. All lessons will be more accessible for them to understand if they read more often. Students must focus on grasping the text's central idea when practicing reading From the definition above, it can conclude that reading comprehension is crucial for understanding the content of a text, improving reading skills and achieving specific goals. It involves understanding the written word, the material being read, and the meanings of the text. Mastery of vocabulary and a range of skills are essential for effective reading comprehension. 3 Concept of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) According to Hwangiin Robert . Collaborative Strategic is a teaching and learning strategy that involved two or more students in a group who have different abilities and thoughts and were jointly engaged in a learning process. In a Collaborative Strategic, when a number of people are in a group, collaboration was a way to relate to each other by respecting and appreciating the abilities and contributions of each group member. In addition, the four comprehension strategies in CSR, they are preview . rainstorming and predictin. , click and clunk . onitoring understandin. , get the gist . inding the main ide. , and wrap up . enerating questions and reviewin. Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) comprises four reading comprehension techniques: preview the text, click and clunk, get the gist, and wrap up (Klingner & Vaugh 1996, cited in Riyawi, 2018:. Preview is only used before students reading the whole text. Meanwhile, the wrap up is only used after the entire text has been read. The other two strategies, click and clunk and get the gist, are employed several times during the reading process. In learning using Collaborative Strategic Reading, students are given a role by the teacher because cooperative learning functions well when a meaningful task is assigned to all group members. Given roles must be played regularly so that all students can experience various roles and can get a This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4. 0 International License Bilingual: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Vol. 6 No. 2, 2024 DOI: 10. 36985/7dky1w63 e Ae ISSN: 2302 - 6596 turn as a leader. These roles may include leader, clunk expert, announcer, encourager, reporter, and timekeeper (Klinger & Vaughn 1999, cited in Husniati : 2. RESEARCH METHOD According to Abutabenjeh . stated that Research design is a critical topic that is central to research studies in science, social science, and many other disciplines. The methodical strategy or guide that describes how to gather, examine, and analyze data for a research study is called a research It covers the general plan as well as the techniques and steps used to answer the research questions or hypothesis. The researcher used pre-experimental in this research by using one group pre test-post test design According to Abdullah et al. , in this design there is a pretest size given to the The observation of the single pretest was carried out on a group of respondents who were then given treatment. After that, the researcher made observations of respondents with a single posttest at the same size as before. The population is the students of the tenth grade of SMA Swasta Yayasan Perguruan Keluarga Pematangsiantar in 2023/2024 Academic Year and the total numbers of all the students are 212 students that divided into 6 classes. In this research, the researcher applied purposive sampling technique to select participants to be sample. According to Geoffrey & Peter . the purposive sampling was appropriate sampling technique for this research, which the purposive sampling chosen depend on the experience and knowledge of groups to be sampled. Based on the researcherAos experience the students from class X MIPA 2 was having some difficulties in reading an English text. The class that was taken as the experimental class is X MIPA 2 with total 34 students. The research instrument was reading test which consists of pretest and posttest. Pre-test Pre-test was conducted to know the studentsAo reading comprehension before the treatment. It was done in experimental class to find out the studentsAo quality before treatment. The result of studentsAo pretest for experimental class is analyzed by the researcher. The studentsAo score of pretest is calculated by the researcher as analysis material from experimental class. Treatment Treatment was carried for the experimental class. Treatment using Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) method. In the treatment process, the researcher carried out several steps : Treatment 1 : the researcher explains about the Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR). Treatment 2 : the researcher explains about how is the studentsAo role of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR). Treatment 3 : the researcher explains about how to read and analyzed a text using Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR). Treatment 4 : the researcher asked students to read and analyzed a text using Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) method based on the explanation that has been taught before. Post-test According to Arikunto . post test is a tool to measure the final results of research subjects after they receive treatment. It means that post-test is a test that will be given to students after giving pre-test and treatment, then the teacher can find out whether the students understand about the topic or not. This study tried to describe the effect of treatment of two distinctions using Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) and reading comprehension. To analyze the data, the researcher used parametric statistics, t-test. In parametric statistics, there are assumptions which must be fulfill, they are normality test, homogeneity test and hypothesis test. IV. FINDING AND DISCUSSION 1 Data Analysis The Interview Based the interview above, it can be conclude that the teacher using silent reading method in The teacher asked students to do silent reading individually and make a focus on their pronunciation, the meaning of the text, general structure and grammatical features.
