Abstract

Based on the writer preliminary study at SMA LKMD Kandis, the writer found some problems faced by the students in learning English especially in reading. Some of the the students of SMA LKMD Kandis did not know how to read meaningfully. They only read the textbook required to be able to perform well in the achievement test. They did not learn the process of reading. In spite of this, some of them got low scores in reading comprehension exercises. To provide solution to these problems, the writer proposes a strategy called synthesizing strategy. The main focus of the research is to find out whether there is significant difference between students’ reading comprehension taught by using Synthesizing strategy and students’ reading comprehension taught by using conventional strategy. In the research, the type of the research was quasi-experimental research. The writer used nonrandomized control group pretest-posttest design. The writer used two classes as sample consist of 60 students. The first class was as experimental and the second was as control. Experimental class taught by using Synthesizing strategy and control class taught by using conventional strategy. The technique of data collecting was test. Test was used in order to collect the data of students’ reading comprehension at the second year of SMA LKMD Kandis. The technique of data analysis used T-test formula in order to find out the difference of students’ mean score between experimental class and control class by using SPSS 16 version. The students’ score was compared with T-table which considered with degree of freedom (df). Based on the data analysis, the writer found that there is significant difference between students’ reading comprehension taught by using Synthesizing strategy and students’ reading comprehension taught by using conventional strategy with consideration to = 8.354 is higher than T-table either in significant 5% = 2.00 or in significant 1 % = 2.65. It means that Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. So, it can be concluded that there is significant difference of using synthesizing strategy towards students’ reading comprehension at the second year of SMA LKMD Kandis.
