First, teacher models how to use this strategy then students imitated their teacher in their groups with their each role. In the end, teacher giving feedback and evaluation of students’ work sheet. Based on explanation above, this study examines to know the effect of treatment by using reciprocal teaching in teaching reading comprehension of the tenth grade students at MAN 2 Tulungagung in the academic year 2015/2016.udStatement of the problems in this research are 1) How are the students’ achievements in reading comprehension before being taught by using reciprocal teaching?. (2) How are the students’ achievements in reading comprehension after being taught by using reciprocal teaching?. (3) Is there any significant different achievement on the students’ reading comprehension before and after being taught by using reciprocal teaching?. udThe purpose of this research are 1) To know the students’ achievements in reading comprehension before being taught by using reciprocal teaching?. (2) To know the students’ achievements in reading comprehension after being taught by using reciprocal teaching?. (3) To know whether there is any significant different achievement on the students’ reading comprehension before and after being taught by using reciprocal teaching?. udThis study used pre-experimental design with quantitative approach and used in One-Group Pretest-Posttest. In this research the population was all the students of tenth grade at MAN 2 Tulungagung consisting of 465 students. Because the number of students is large, the researcher used purposive sampling to take part of students as sample, the researcher chose tenth grade of IIK/religion class because this class has average ability in English than other class. In this research the instrument was test (pretest and posttest) and data analysis was using T-test.udThis research finding is the mean of students’ reading comprehension score before being taught by using reciprocal teaching of 39 students is (78.72) and the mean of students’ reading comprehension score after being taught by using reciprocal teaching of 39 students is (84.38). It has been proved with T- test analysis used by researcher shows that the result of tcount is ( -3.488). By comparing tcount is (-3.488) with ttable 0.05 is (1.685), it is known that tcount is higher than ttable (tcount>ttable)udBecause the tcount is higher than ttable, so alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. It means that there is significant different achievement on the students’ reading comprehension before and after being taught by using reciprocal teaching. udFinally, it can be concluded that reciprocal teaching is effective to teach reading comprehension to senior high school students, especially for tenth grade students of MAN 2 tulungagung.
