students are interested and give their attention to follow learning process, especially in reading to comprehend a text or the material.
Reading will give readers an understanding and information. In reality, students are difficult to comprehend English text. It happens because students do not master many
vocabularies, so they do not have motivation to learn reading. In this case, the researcher gives alternative by using Think Aloud Strategy. Think Aloud Strategy is a
strategy for teaching reading to motivate and make the students are easier in reading activity also can to cotroled by teacher. Strategy not only can help the students to be
more active in reading activity but also make the students comprehend reading text. In other words by Think Aloud Strategy the students can understand about the text to
get more information in reading comprehension. In this case, the researcher will use Think Aloud Strategy in teaching reading comprehension, especially on recount text.
N. Hypothesis
Concerning to the theories and the frame of thinking, the researcher formulates the hypothesis as follows:
Ha : There is a significant influence of using Think Aloud Strategy t owards‟ Students‟
Reading Comprehension on recount text at the eight grade of MTs Darul Huda bandar Lampung in the academic year of 20162017.
Ho : There is no a significant influence of Think Aloud Strategy Towards‟ Students‟
Reading Comprehension on Recount Text at the eight grade of MTs Darul Huda bandar Lampung in the academic year of 20162017.
CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A. Research Design
In conducting the research, the researcher used experimental research design. According
Ary et,al,
experimental research is the general plans for carrying out a study with and active independent variable. The design is important because it
determines the study‟s internal validity, which is the ability to reach valid conclusions about the effect of the experimental treatment on the dependent variable.
47
It means that experimental design is a research design that is used to find the influence of one
variable to another.
In this research, the researcher used quasi experimental research design. Quasi experimental design are similar to randomly experimental design in that they involve
manipulation of an independent variable but differ in that subjects are not randomly assigned to the treatment groups.
48
That is appropriate to this research‟s subject because this research‟s subject is in groups. So if the researcher randomly assigns the
students into the two groups, it would disrupt the classroom learning.
49
It means that in quasi experimental research the researcher does not randomly assign the students.
The researcher assigned the sample by taking randomly the class of the students, so it would not disrupt the classroom learning.
