reading comprehension of descriptive text. This interview will conduct before and after the implementation of Classroom Action Research.
3. Questionnaire

technique. It is to measure students ’ reading comprehension at first. And
the post-test is implemented after using contextual teaching and learning technique. In this study, the test is done in form of multiple choices. The

E. Technique of Data Analysis
The writer used of technique’s data analysis in this study is descriptive analysis percentage and the analysis qualitative data used in this research is
the observation of students’ activities during teaching learning processes and the interview before and after CAR, and the situation of classroom. In this
case, the researcher collected the entire data which have gained, In analyzing the numerical data, the writer tries to get the average

x
X = N
Note: _
X : Mean
