Abstract

Improving students' reading skills is not an easy task; there are many processes that students must go through, starting from initial reading to comprehending the content. Indonesia is home to a large number of English Muslim students. To make learning more interesting for students, the researcher used Islamic short stories as learning media.

The study aims to investigate whether the use of Islamic short stories can improve reading skills among the seventh-grade students at MTs Daarul Ulya Metro in the students’ English classes, with a focus on improving reading skill. The research was conducted using the classroom action research (CAR) and using Islamic short story as the learning media. The results indicate that the students' reading skill improved significantly after the implementation of Islamic short story media.

The research was conducted in two cycles, and the data collected demonstrated a significant improvement in students' reading skill. Initially, only 23% of students (5 students) scored above 70 in the pre-test. After the first cycle, this percentage increased to 50% (9 students) in the post-test I. By the end of the second cycle, 95% of students (17 students) achieved scores above 70 in the post-test II. This confirms the effectiveness of integrating culturally relevant and engaging content into the learning process, thereby enhancing the students' overall reading proficiency.
