THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PREDICTION STRATEGY IN IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION ON ENGLISH RECOUNT TEXT

Abstract

The aim of this research was to identify the implementation of a prediction strategy to improve students' reading comprehension of English recount text and student responses in reading through a prediction strategy. The researcher used pre-experimental research and carried out pre-test, treatment and post-test designs and collected test-based data. The sample was a class VIII.D student at MTs.

Then find the value of the table t of 1,673. This is because the t value is 40,616>1,673. From these data, it is shown that the use of the prediction strategy in improving students’ reading comprehension on recount text, it can be concluded from the above data that the student's reading comprehension has been improved by using the prediction strategy as a learning tool and students’ can be active in the learning process through the use of the prediction strategy.
