RESEARCH METHOD
The pre test was administered to the seventh grade students of SMPN 1
Kerambitan in order to measure the real pre existing reading comprehension to
measure the real pre existing reading comprehension ability of the subject. The mean
score of pre test was compared to the corresponding mean scores of the post test
administered at the end of each session for the sake of establishing the degree of the
increasing reading comprehension ability of the subject.
This classroom action study was primarily intended to find out the
effectiveness of improving reading comprehension especially through Cooperative
Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC). On account of this fact, the result of the
reflection or post test in cycle I has two sessions was used as valuable input and a
basis to accordingly revise the planning in cycle II. Therefore, cycle II has two
sessions was started with revised planning (RP) which was assumed to be more
effective than cycle I. Each cycle has two sessions. The degree of effectiveness of
teaching reading comprehension by using CIRC was figured out through comparing
the mean score of pre test (Xo) obtained by the subject with their corresponding mean
score of the reflection or post test in both cycle, such as cycle 1 (X I) and cycle II ( XII).
To make it apparent, the design of the present class action study can be described as
proposed by Kemmis and Mc Taggart in Denzin and Lincoln ( 2000:567) in the
following:

To gain clear understanding comprehension about the model pictured above, each
step or phase is described in detail below:
3.2.1 Planning
Before the present classroom action study could be successfully carried out,
the researcher had to prepare instructional planning for all sessions. The planning was
expected to be futuristic and flexible to face some non-anticipated effects. Deciding
the materials related to the topic to be taught in the class. Set up the teaching learning
scenario. The scenario will be as follows:
1. Seeking and preparing a series of reading text and writing exercise which
could be appropriately use in teaching reading comprehension by using
CIRC to seventh grade students of SMPN 1 Kerambitan. The reading texts
were completed with exercise and test to make sure that the study was
effective and efficient.
2. Designing lesson plan or setting up the teaching scenarios of the present
classroom action study. The researcher design and planned four lesson
plans or teaching scenarios that were used in cycle I and cycle II with four
sessions. Thus, each lessons plan used to teach reading once. Four lessons
plan were used in two cycles respectively. In line with the time schedule,
each sessions or meeting were planned to last about 80 minutes.
3. Constructing reflection or post test at the end of each session of the basis
of the reading text which was being taught at the time. The administration
of the reflection was used to measure the extent of the subjects progress
in reading comprehension.
4. Constructing questionnaire to the subjects under study. By the end of the
first cycle, the research also administered questionnaire which was
actually intended to measure quantitatively the changing learning
behaviors of the subjects in improving reading comprehension through
CIRC.
3.2.2 Action
The action was done by following the teaching learning scenario. If something
happens outside the scenario, then another action was be done to anticipate that.
Action refer to what the researcher did in the classroom and how to manage the class,
each of which was closely related to know what she or he planned in the lesson plans.
In this step, all the students were given a written achievement in order to know their
improvement in comprehending the passage that given. They were given about 30
minutes for doing the test. In relation to improving the comprehension of the seventh
grade students of SMPN 1 Kerambitan, there were three main activities as the
realization of the lesson plans stated in the planning they are pre-activities, whileactivities, and post-activities. The further explanation about what kind of activities
they were and their goals can be described as follows:
1. Pre-activities
The implementation of CIRC is to improve reading comprehension. In this
stage, the researcher did several activities, namely: greeting, checking
students attendance list, trying to active the students knowledge by giving
them motivation and a common description related to the material which
would be discussed in the class. This activity was done to lead the students
attention to the material; therefore, they could be involved in the learning
process actively.
2. Whilst-activities
The researcher who acted as classroom teacher applied CIRC as a method for
teaching reading comprehension. As the students were positive and just keep
silent. The researcher told the role to be the students. The rules are: first,
telling to the students to make a group, each group consists of 4 people.
Second, the researcher telling the students about the material based on the
topic. Third, the researcher told the students to read and find out the main idea
of the material with work together and give some opinion about the material
also write down in worksheet. Fourth, the students present about the result of
group work and the last, the researcher make a common result.
3. Post-activities
In this activity, the researcher administered reflection or post-test to measure
the students ability after being taught through group investigation method.
During the post-test activities, the students did the test individually.
3.2.3
Observation
In the classroom action research, the researcher also acted or behaved as a
classroom teacher as well as an observer. In the light of this class action research,
observation was intended to establish whether or not the teaching and learning
process being carried out, in this case teaching reading comprehension through CIRC
Method of the seventh grade students of SMPN 1 Kerambitan, could increase and
develop their achievement of reading.
3.2.4
Reflection
Reflection was the activity that used to find out the result of action and
observation in the process of learning. It also showed the strength and weakness of
the technique that we used. This activity was administered during the post activities
of the session. The result of the reflection was used as an input to improve the next
session.
3.2.5
Points of Revision
Based on the pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire in cycle 1, the researcher
will generally evaluate the teaching learning process to get a data about the subjects
improvement. In addition, base on this evaluation the researcher will do a revision for
cycle II. Some revision that may be done in the cycle II such as:
1. The teacher minimizes the commotion in the classroom by changing the
place of students who always make a noise in the class.
2. The students are divided into some groups. Thus, the teacher gives a
reading text to each group and they analyzed the reading text. Each group
makes some questions to other groups which related with reading text that
given by the teacher.
3. The teacher chooses the best group become a model to present their task in
front of the class.
The lesson Plan was prepared in order to have a clear description of what to
do be done in classroom. It was a guideline for the teacher in conducting every steps
of the teaching plan. This lesson plan involved the activities that were conducted, the
time allocation, the teachers approach and the material used in teaching and learning
process.
b. Test
Tests were used to find out the students ability in reading comprehension.
There were two kinds of tests administered in this research. Those tests were pre-test
and post-test. The pre-test was used to know the students pre-existing ability in
reading comprehension before they were given the treatment through CIRC Method.
The post-test was used to find out the improvement that the students made in terms of
mastering reading text after CIRC was applied.
c. Questionnaire
The questionnaire was given to the seventh grade students of SMPN 1
Kerambitan after the completion of cycle II. It was carried out to measure the
changing behavior after the method had been applied, such as motivation, interest,
and reaction. It simply consisted of 10 items. The response of the subjects in the
questionnaire was in the form of objective test. The questionnaire was measure about
how they perceived reading and in order to know whether or not the students
responses toward the application of CIRC Method changed through the cycle.
The grand mean of cycle I and cycle II are calculated by totaling the mean score
in each cycle. The grand mean of cycle I and cycle II was finally compared. The
amount of the difference between the two means show increasing effectiveness of
cycle I and cycle II.
The analyzed data involved four stages:
1. Correcting the students answers in every cycle
2. Computing the data with the following formula
X

CHAPTER IV
THE PRESENTATION OF THE FINDING
4.1 Data
To gather the data of the present classroom action study, the researcher used
three kinds of instruments; namely pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire. The data
required was meant to answer the research question through administering the
instrument mentioned above to seventh grade students of SMPN 1 Kerambitan.
The pre-test in reading comprehension was administered to the subject under
study to get their pre-existing ability in reading comprehension. In pre-test, the
subjects were given 20 of multiple choice test items and 5 of essays items to
determine their ability in reading comprehension. Post-test was administered in both
of cycle. This was the fact that in each session the researcher administered the posttest as the reflection in reading comprehension through CIRC Method that was
presented and discussed in that session.
As the result, there were 5 sets of raw scores got for the present classroom
action study that was pre test scores, and reflection scores for cycle I in session 1,
session 2, and cycle II in session 3, session 4. The five of scores which were collected
in this study could be tabulated as follows:

S3 is 73.23, and S4 is 86.76. From these data, it was found that the mean score from
cycle I until cycle II significantly increased. The grand means obtained by the
subjects under study for both cycle I and cycle II which showed the grand mean
scores of XI is 51.80 and XII is 80 were rationally much higher than the
corresponding of mean score of pre-test X0 is 30.70. The data showed that
vocabulary mastery of subjects under study increased from cycle I until cycle II. The
difference was obviously significant.
The finding of this present study viewed the rising comparative mean scores
of the initial reflection (IR) with the posttest scores obtained by the subjects under
study for the cycle I and cycle II.

4.3 Discussion of the Findings
The data analysis of the present classroom study indicated that the mean of the
Pre-test scores which were collected from the subjects under study in reading
comprehension showed the mean figure of 30.70. This means the students ability in
reading comprehension was low. That is call low because the standard achievement in
SMPN 1 Kerambitan is 7.5. The mean figure obviously showed that the ability of the
subject under study is relatively low. It was hard to figure out why the ability of the
students in reading comprehension was quite low as there were many factors dealing
with it such as: finding the word meaning, main idea, and general information.
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
The discussion throughout the present classroom action study which dealt
with teaching reading comprehension through CIRC Method to the seventh grade
students of SMPN 1 Kerambitan could finally be concluded in this chapter. Some
practical suggestions in reference to the significance of the established research
findings were also recommended in this chapter, so that the findings of this study
could really provide some benefits for the English teacher, the seventh grade students
of SMPN 1 Kerambitan, and other researchers.
5.1 Conclusion
The present classroom action study was conducted to help students under
study improve and develop their reading comprehension ability. In this study the
researcher used CIRC Method. This method was used to improve the students ability
in reading comprehension by helping the students to solve the problem that they meet
in a group. In this present action study the researcher used classroom action research
to know the students ability in reading comprehension. The data obtained for showing
the students progress in reading comprehension to the seventh grade students of
SMPN 1 Kerambitan were descriptively analyzed by the The means of the post test
scores for cycle I obtained by the subjects under study
showed the increasing means figures S1 is 46.61 and S2 is 57. The grand means of
the reflection scores in the cycle I figured the means figure of X1 is 51.80.
After following the second cycle treatments, the grand mean of the students
achievement increased enormously to 80. This grand mean was established after
calculating the two sessions in cycle II, there were S3 is 73.23 and S4 is 86.76. As a
result, it can be accomplished that the teaching reading comprehension by using
CIRC Method was able to improve the students ability in reading comprehension.
The students felt happy in learning reading comprehension, it was showed
from the students answers in the questionnaires. Based on the result the options A is
40.68%, B is 52.60%, C is 6.71%, and D is 0%. It proved that the attitude and the
learning motivation of the subjects under study were heightened. These findings
clearly suggested that teaching reading comprehension by using CIRC Method made
the students active in learning reading comprehension. This was an account of the
fact that an action classroom study was mainly undertaken for helping of student who
had problems in learning reading comprehension. This research was basically
accomplished to improve the poor reading comprehension of the seventh grade
students of SMPN 1 Kerambitan in academic year 2012/2013 and could be
accomplished that the teaching reading comprehension by using CIRC Method was
able to improve the students ability in reading comprehension. In the end, the
English teacher used the findings of the present classroom action study to devise
more effective use CIRC Method in teaching classroom.
5.2 Suggestions
Based on the findings of the study, CIRC Method is very effective applied to
increase students' ability in reading comprehension of the seventh grade students of
SMPN 1 Kerambitan in academic year 2012/2013, the researcher would like to
suggest the following things:
1. For the teacher
Based on the research that has been done by the researcher, it is suggested
to the English teacher of SMPN 1 Kerambitan to use CIRC Method as the
teaching method. Because by using it the teacher can help the students to
solve the problem in reading comprehension. The teacher also should have
some various types of teaching material and teaching method. By using
some of various methods the teacher can have many kinds of choice for
using in teaching learning process. Therefore, the students will have more
experience in learning English by using many methods. The result of the
study is also expected to enrich the teachers knowledge about the method,
in addition, the teacher must have many references about the method that
can be used to improve the students ability in reading comprehension.
2. For the students
The students should practice all the time if they do not want to lose their
skill in English. The students are expected to be more active in teaching
learning process and to keep the importance of reading and concepts of
understanding text effectively in mind by reading the door knowledge can
be opened and welcome the readers with wider vision.
3. For the other researcher
It is recommended to another researcher to examine and investigate the
effectiveness of the implementation of CIRC Method in teaching another
language skill in teaching English for the students of Junior High School.
The researcher also can use another teaching method or CIRC Method to
improve the students ability in reading comprehension.
4. For the institution SMPN 1 Kerambitan
It is suggested to give more attention in reading comprehension, because
some of the students still have difficulty in comprehend many kinds of
text. It was proved to be very effective to use CIRC Method in learning
process and make effective use of reading mastery. CIRC Method helps
the students to solve the problem that they faced in reading
comprehension process by finding the solution I the group.

yellow.Brownie is a Chinese breed. It is small, fluffy and cute. It has brown fur.
When I cuddle it, the fur feels soft. Brownie doesnt like bone. Every day it eats
soft food like steamed rice, fish or bread. Every morning I give her milk and
bread. When I am at school, brownie plays with my cat. They get along well, and
