The last question dealt with summarizing strategy. There were 10 students stated rarely summarized the content using own words, 40 students
stated sometimes, 30 students stated often and 20 students stated always. Based on those result, it can be concluded that the students actually had
already carried out reciprocal teaching strategy even though they did not realize it. However, the application of these strategies were not developed enough.
Therefore, they should be given certain tasks that would make them realize the use of reciprocal teaching strategy.
