Abstrak

There are four basic skills in English. They are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Many students are not interested in learning English especially in learning reading skill. They think that learning reading is very difficult. In SMA Nasional Pati, especially in the eleventh grade, the students still got difficulties to learn English in the class, especially in reading comprehension. They also could not be active and most of them looked confused when they read English text. It is because the teachers only focused in materials from handbook, which contains only some lesson related about reading comprehension. It is proved by the students’ scores are still below the KKM. The KKM itself is 75 for English subject. Contextual guessing strategy is expected to be able to cover this situation. The purpose of this research is to find out whether there is a significant difference between the reading comprehension of the eleventh grade students of SMA nasional Pati in academic year 2013/2014 before and after being taught by using contextual guessing strategy. The design of this research is experimental research. The writer used one group with pre – test and post – test. The population of the research is the eleventh grade students of SMA Nasional Pati in academic year 2013/ 2014. The writer used cluster random sampling technique to take the sample of the research. Based on this technique, the writer got XI IPA 3 as the sample with total number of students is 26. The instrument that the writer conducted in his study was objective test. The objective test that was used in this research was multiple choice test.The test consists of 25 items. The allocation time was 45 minutes. The result shows that the post-test is “good” with the mean is 74.5 and standard deviation is 9.7. It is higher than the pre-test with the mean is 59.80 and standard deviation is 7.65 can be classified as “sufficient”. The hypothesis of this research states that there is significant different between reading comprehension of narrative text of the eleventh grade students of SMA Nasional Pati before and after being taught by using contextual guessing strategy in academic year 2013/2014. From the calculation of t-test, the t-obtained is 7.84 and t-critical is ± 2.060 with the level of significance (α) .05 and degree of freedom is 25. The t-obtained is higher than t-critical. Therefore, the writer rejectedH0 (null hypothesis) and accepted H1 (alternative hypothesis) because the t-obtained falls in the critical region. After doing this research, the writer concluded that contextual guessing strategy is the effective strategy to be applied in reading comprehension of narrative text of the eleventh grade students of SMA Nasional Pati in academic year 2013/2014. Based on the result, the writer suggests that contextual guessing strategy is effective in reading comprehension. It also can be the solution for English teachers as an alternative strategy in teaching reading to make the students easier in comprehending the English text. The writer also suggests that the further researcher has to be more creative to create the interesting learning and teaching activity in applying contextual guessing strategy.
