TEACHING READING COMPREHENSION BY USING CONTENT-BASED INSTRUCTION (CBI) METHOD TO THE SECOND YEARS LEARNERS AT MTS AL-FURQON PRABUMULIH
Abstract: The aims of this
study were to find out; (1) Whether or not the implementation of Content-Based
Instruction (CBI) method significantly improves reading comprehension to the
second years learners at MTs. Al-Furqon Prabumulih, (2) The students’ opinions
are toward the implementation of Content-Based Instruction (CBI) method in
reading comprehension to the second years learners at MTs. Al-Furqon
Prabumulih. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was designed to improve
students’ reading comprehension using Content-Based Instruction (CBI) method.
The investigation of population of this study was all the second years learners
at MTs. Al-Furqon Prabumulih in the academic year 2013/2014, whichconsist of 63
students coming from two classes. The sample of this study were class II Pa
consisting of 20 male students was treated as control group and class II Pi consisting
of 20 female students was treated as experimental group, which selected using
convenience sampling. In finding a significant improvement of students’ reading
comprehension average score from pretest to posttest taught using ContentBased
Instruction (CBI) method, the writer conducted ttest using Paired Sample
t-test,it showed that the matched ttest calculation of specified α = 0.05 (95%
level of significant) is 0.000 and degree of freedom (df) is 19, the t-value
(tv) is 5.638 and the t-table (tt) is 1.729. It means that tv > tt (tvalue
is higher than ttable). Consequently there
was a significant progress from the scores of pretest to posttest since
the t-value ofmatched t-test calculation is higher than t0.05, 19 = 1.729 and
the level of significance islower than α = 0.05. Meanwhile, in finding the
students’ opinion toward the implementation of Content-Based Instruction (CBI)
method, Percentage Formula isused to analyze the respondents’ answer on
questionnaire constructed by the researcher. From the result of questionnaire
analysis of this study, it can be stated thatmost of the students agreed that
Content-Based Instruction (CBI) method improved their reading comprehension and
it helped them to create interesting ways in learningEnglish.
