Each problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the

problem. The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a

problem a turned it into an opportunity

(Joseph Sugarman)

Spend eighty percent of your time focusing on the opportunities of tomorrow rather

than the problems of yesterday

Reading is one of the most important skills in learning target language

besides listening, speaking, and writing. Based on the preliminary study at SMAN I

Umbulsari Jember, it was found that the eleventh year students faced difficulties in

learning reading. There was only 37% of the students got the standard score

requirement which was 60. The students were also considered inactive since they did

not participate actively during the English teaching and learning process.

Context Clues was the solution undertaken to solve the problem in learning

Reading Comprehension. It can help the students to guess the meaning of unfamiliar

words in the reading text easily. Some previous results approved that Context Clues

Technique was helpful to stimulate the students interest in learning Reading. Context

Clues Technique in this research was limited to Synonym Clues.

The Classroom Action Research (CAR) with cycle model was applied in this

study. The actions were carried out to improve the eleventh A garde students reading

comprehension achievement by using context clues technique at SMAN I Umbulsari

Jember. The research was conducted in two cycles, in which each cycle covered four

main sequence stages, namely the planning of the action, the implementing of the

action, the classroom observation and evaluation, and the data analysis and reflection.

Then, each cycle was conducted in one meeting because of time limitation. Reading

Comprehension test as the primary data of the students reading comprehension

achievement was administered in the last session of the meeting. Then, the supporting

data were gathered from interview and documentation.

(15)

xiv

The result of the students reading comprehension test in cycle 1 showed that

the percentage of the students who got score at least 60 was 95.23 %. It was

considered successful since the criterion of the successful action was 75 %.

Meanwhile, the students active participation was 80.95%. The results of the reading

comprehension test in cycle 1 showed that the second cycle was needed to be

conducted to ensure the consistency of the result.

The result of the students reading comprehension test in cycle 2 showed

improvement. The percentage of the students who got score 60 or more was 100 %. It

means that the action in cycle two was successful. Moreover, the results of the

observation checklist showed that 90.48% of the students were actively involved in

the teaching learning process. Thus, the actions in cycle two had met the standard

requirement of process and product evaluation that was 75 %.

Regarding the research results above, it could be concluded that context

clues could improve the students reading comprehension achievement. Therefore, it

is suggested that the English teacher use context clues technique as an alternative

technique in teaching reading.
