Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out that learning techniques based on reading comprehension of text could improve students' reading comprehension and their learning activities. In this study, the researcher limited the identification of the problem to the first point, such as students having poor reading comprehension of the text. Therefore, the researcher limits the problem to increasing the mastery of understanding the contents of the text by using learning based on identifying reading texts in students to improve text comprehension. The action hypothesis in this study is the use of text media that can improve students' understanding.

This research was held in February 2021. The research subjects were grade VII students of SMP Muhammadiyah 4 Metro which consisted of 20 students. In this study the authors taught English using text media. This research was conducted in 2 cycles, namely cycle 1 and cycle 2. Cycle 1 consisted of 3 meetings, the first meeting was used for the pre-test, the second and third meetings were used for teaching and post-test 1. In cycle 2 consisted of 2 meetings, the first meeting for teaching and the second meeting for post-test 2.

Based on the analysis of the data results from pre-test to post-test, the mean score of the pre-test was 44, the mean score of the post-test from cycle 1 was 64, and the mean score of the post-test 2 was 79. So, the progress was from 44 to 64 to 79. This can be seen from the data that 21.5 points increased from pre-test to post-test scores in cycle 1. Then, in cycle 2 it increased with an average value from 64 to 79, namely 16 points. This means that students have reached the target, namely the target of 70% of students getting a score of 65. Based on these data teaching vocabulary using realia media can improve vocabulary mastery in students.
