CHAPTER V CONCLUSION, IMPLICATION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
Based on Pallinscar theory, reciprocal teaching is an instructional teaching technique which facilitates students and teacher to bring the meaning of a text
by using four strategies; predicting, clarifying, questioning and summarizing which are used to analyze the text. The implementation of reciprocal teaching
provides the students to read strategically. There are several finding that are found during the research. In accordance
with the result of pre-research observation, the problems of comprehending the text came from the teacher and students themselves. It could be seen that
the activities during reading class before implementing the action was dominated by teacher. The learning situation was monotonous. Therefore,
students had difficulties in comprehending English text. They also had low motivation and felt uninterested in joining reading class. However, the
problems above can be solved after applying reciprocal teaching as the technique of teaching reading. Students were more active in joining reading
class and they had higher motivation to study. Moreover, they were easier in comprehending the text because they did it strategically. It can be seen from
the result of their test. The mean score of pre-test and post-test of the first cycle to the next cycle showed the improvement.
Based on the result of the research above, it can be concluded that: 1. Teaching students by reciprocal teaching can improve the students’
reading comprehension in digesting the narrative text. In implementing the technique, students read the text strategically by using some steps
namely predicting, clarifying, questioning and summarizing. Teacher also monitors and facilitates the group effort in discussing the task of
bringing meaning of the text patiently and gives help as much as needed.
