In this step, the researcher and the teacher analyzed the result of the reading test of the students as the learning product. The researcher also analyzed activities occurred in the
teaching learning process based on the observation sheets. It would be done to find out the improvement after the teacher implemented the RTC technique in teaching reading
explanation text in the classroom. In analyzing, the researcher and the teacher doing a reflection to discover the weaknesses and the strength of the implementation of RTC
technique, and also to knew the problems would be face by both the teacher and the students during teaching and learning process. By doing so, the researcher and the teacher
knew what should be improved for the next cycle. If the indicators of the research have not been fulfilled in the first and in the second cycle, the researcher and the observer planed the
next step to improve the quality of the learning process in the next cycle. On the other hand, if the indicators were already achieved the researcher and the observer did not need to hold
the next cycle.
3.4 Indicators of The Research
The success of this classroom action research was divided into two parts: learning product and learning process.
3.4.1 Learning Product
The target of learning product that determined by the researcher and the teacher was 65 or more. It would be done because 65 was the standard minimum score or KKM stated by the
school for English subject. So, if at least 80 65 or more for reading
comprehension test, it was mean the RTC technique could improved comprehension achievement.
3.4.2 Learning Process
In learning process, there were two aspects which become the focus of this research: the stude
s performance toward the implementation of RTC technique.
Based on the result of the discussion with English teacher in conducting this research, it was decided that the target of the learning process is 80 of the students actively involved
in learning process during the application of researcher. It was also decided because according to Arikunto 1993:210, if more than 75 of students were actively involved in
teaching and learning activities, it could be categorized as a good level.
s performance during teaching and learning process. It
s score for the teaching performance reached 70. So, if the teacher got 70 in her performance, it
means she could teach students well. There were some aspects that s
performances; it involved activities in the teaching and learning process from pre-activity, main activity and post activity. The teach
n applying RTC technique was observed in main activity.
3.5 Instrument of The Research
In collecting the data, the researcher used two kinds of instruments: 1 Reading comprehension tests, and 2 Observation sheets. Each kind of instruments explained as
follows:
3.5.1 Reading Comprehension Tests
The tests would be reading test in form of multiple choice test. The result of this test was considered
The researcher made a table of specification that helped the test constructor plans the test.

There were 20 items in this test asking about three components of reading comprehension, they were unstated information, stated information, and vocabulary.
The test would be administered at the end of every cycle in the learning process.
3.5.2 Observation Sheets
There were activities and that for the teacher s performance. The two observation sheets were fulfilled
by the researcher as an observer. The Observation conducted in every cycle during the teaching learning process. When teaching and learning process occurred, the teacher
together with the researcher as an observer observed the process which was happened in the classroom.
