CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. The Background of Study

In the era of globalization, English is a very important as a means of international communication. Therefore, English is one of the main subject in Indonesian secondary schools where learning English effectively is a must. Moreover English can be categorized as a scientific language. It can be seen from many scientific books in university library written in English it is impossible for us to get the idea or massages stated within the books.

Generally, Indonesian students are easy to learn about English and the teachers are also creative and innovative to teach it. Moreover this condition makes the government more easy to developing human resources, with the emphasis in English language teaching. If the education minister changes, the teaching English does too. For the reason, in Indonesian English is not a native or even second language but it is a foreign language. So, the teacher faces some difficulties in teaching English skills, especially reading skills.

Moreover, Based on Junior High School National English, one of English materials, the students is hoped to master kinds of reading text namelyprocedure, descriptive, recount, narrative, and report. So, the students are demanded to master reading skill. Reading is difficult, because it is an extremely activity that involve combination of abilities, such as linguistic and cognitive abilities. Besides the students’ motivation is also a main factor of reading in a classroom, the students’ interest in reading is various.

Jakarta, some difficulties that are faced by students in learning reading can be caused by some factors such as the limitation of time, so the teachers do not give them the materials optimally, because some students did not realize in condition so reading is various in one of some students.

In order to help students’ problems to enhance their reading ability, the writer will use the contextual teaching and learning to make it easier. Then the teachers’ attempts to improve the students’ability in reading are by using suitable approach in teaching reading, and must be useful in learning process is it can build students’ motivation and stimulate them to be more focus in the study.

“A context is the parts of a sentence, paragraph, etc. or immediately next to or surrounding a specified world or passage and determining its exact meaning”.1 Meanwhile “Contextual is a clue based on the text or information’s knowledge of the world”.2

Contextual Teaching and Learning is a respond to Behaviourism Approach which emphasizes on the concepts of stimulus respond with mechanical drills. To be able to use the language naturally as in real life and in various situation critical thinking and meaningful learning are needed. When the students can relate the lessons they have got in school to their daily lives, they will be aware of the benefit learning. Besides, they will realize the importance of reading skills; in fact many instances around the world we may argue that reading is the most important foreign language skill, particularly in cases where students have to read English materials’for their own specialist subject.

The definition model contextual teaching and learning (CTL) in up ward is the model teaching to make connecting material and with the context of students’ real world not only material students’ knowing in school after students’ learn and than the CTL method to focus in students’ real world in s/he knowing and with material context to students’ knew.

relatively permanent change in response potentiality which occurs as a result of reinforced practice” and (2) “A change in human disposition or capability, which can be retained, and which is not simply ascribable to the process of growth.3

Teaching learning process of a language cannot be separated from the curriculum or syllabus. It is influenced by a view of language. A view to the language will affect the method and technique of teaching, as Mackey stated, “Differences in language theory affect language teaching in two ways. The may affect the analysis of the language on which a method is based, and they may affect the classroom techniques of language teaching”.4This statement means that a view of language and approach will affect both the method and technique of language teaching.

Regarding the explanation above, the writer intended to discuss about

“Teaching Reading Using Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL)_”

(A Pre- Experimental study at the second Grade of SMP PGRI 12 Jakarta)

B. Limitation and Formulation of Problem

1. The Limitation of the problem, which will be discussed in this Research, is:

In this research the writer limits the discussion to using Contextual Teaching and Learning as an approach in teach reading. The writer wants to know the difference between pre-test and post-test scores in teaching reading using contextual teaching reading. If post-test scores are better than pre-test scores, he wants to presents an alternative method in teaching English, it can become guidance to English teacher in classroom teaching.

2. The formulation of problem studied in this research.

Based on the background above, the writer conducts a study concerning on the using contextual in English teaching learning process for reading skill at the second grade of SMP PGRI 12 Jakarta.

learning process support does reading skill?

This main question can be formulated into more specific questions as follow: a. Why contextual teaching learning activities good for students? b. Why contextual teaching learning suitable in teaching reading skill? c. How contextual teaching learning makes teaching reading skill easier? d. How does contextual teaching learning different from the tradisional

approach?

C. Objectives of Study

In line with the statement of the problems the purposed of the study are as follow:

1. To describe that contextual teaching learning activities are good for students.

2. To describe that contextual teaching learning is suitable in teaching reading skills.

3. To describe that teaching-learning activity using contextual is easier. 4. To promote that contextual teaching learning differs from the traditional

approach.

D. Hypothesis of the Study

This study contents to answer such a question “is there any correlation between using contextual teaching and learning with their reading ability?” To get the answer, the writer proposes two hypothesis; they are alternative hypothesis (Ha) and Null hypothesis (Ho).

Ha: There is a positive correlation between using contextual teaching learning with their reading ability.

Ho: There is no correlation between using contextual teaching learning with their reading ability

The finding is (result) of this study expected to provide useful information about contextual teaching learning process for reading skill at second grade SMP PGRI 12 Jakarta. It is expected that these findings can contribute to three groups of people, they are: school principal, the teachers, and further researcher. As he decision maker, the school principal has the authority to improve the teacher quality in teaching and learning activities.

Furthermore, the teachers are suggested to use varied strategies in their teaching and learning activities. In this case, the teachers can use contextual teaching and learning to improve the students’ reading skill in their classroom. Finally, these findings of these studies will deliver useful information or they can be used as basic information and reference for further researchers who are interested in conducting similar studies.

F. Organizational of Writing

This consists of four chapter, the first chapter is introduction which presents and discusses the background of the study, limitation and formulation of problem, the objective of study, hypothesis of the study, the method of the study, and organizational of the writing.

The second chapter is theoretical framework which explains reading. It elaborates into: the definition of reading, types of reading, use of reading, and problems in teaching reading.

Contextual learning approach discusses the definition of contextual teaching and learning, components of contextual teaching learning, strategies in contextual teaching learning, and principle in contextual teaching and learning. An Effectiveness of using Contextual Teaching and Learning in Reading.

Research findings are written in the third chapter. It includes contextual learning approach conducted by the teacher; some problems involved teaching reading, teacher’s role in contextual learning and students’ role in contextual learning.

Finally, the writer tries to give conclusion and suggestion in the fourth chapter.

CHAPTER II

THEORIETICAL FRAMEWORK

A. Reading

1. Definition of Reading

Reading knowledge is broadened and well informed by reading. Reading is really crucial for our knowledge in usually broadened and informed by reading activities, and the activity of reading can be found in the Internet, book, etc.

Students should practice their reading more and more, so that their reading ability and their reading experience will be improved. They may find difficulty and frustrating, but it they keep practicing, they will have a good sense of English and will help then to grasp the total meaning of the words. Another think should be remembered in reading that students should not open a dictionary too often because it will slow down their reading rate and can make them bored. If they find new words, they should try to guess the meanings by trying to find out any clue words according to the context in the passages there are a lot of definitions of reading. Linguistic gives definition about reading, their opinions about reading vary.

Some of them say reading is the process to get, to understand, to catch the context of the reading. And also reading is a process to understand a written text, which means extracting the required information from it as efficiently as possible. According to Walter R. Hill “reading is what the reader does to get the meaning he needs from textual sources”.1 Meanwhile guy L Bond Wagner

1

Walter R. Hill, secondary school Reading: process, program, procedure (Boston: Allyn and Bacon), 1974, p. 4

explained the meaning of reading as “the process of acquiring and of interpreting, evaluation, and effecting upon those meanings”.2

F. Dublin explained the meaning of reading, as “reading is primarily a cognitive process, which means that the brain does most of the work”.3

Those statements above show the various definitions of reading, they mean generally. Reading means a complex process of thinking in assigning meaning from printed materials which involve most of the reader’s intellectual act such as pronunciation and comprehension in other to receive ideas or information extended by the test. It can be seen that reading is not only looking at ward in the form of graphic symbols but also getting meaning from word to word or line to understand what we read. It means that reading is a process to understand the text content and the get information.

2. Aims of Reading

A person may read for many purposes, and purpose help to understand more what is read by people. If he is reading for pleasure or reading for pure recreation and enjoyment, he may read either quickly or slowly based on the way he likes or fails. But if read for studying or setting information such news, science or some line, which are part of his study or assignment he does it very slowly and carefully.

According to Paul S. Anderson, there are seven aims of reading, reading for details and fact, reading for main ideas, reading for sequence or organization, reading for inference, reading for classifying of content.4

a. Reading for details and fact is reading to know what is done by the subject of the story.

b. Reading for main ideas is reading to get the problem statements.

c. Reading for sequence of organization is reading to know each part of the story.

d. Reading for inference is reading to know what is the writer meant by its story. e. Reading for classifying is reading to find unusual things

f. Reading for evaluating is reading to know the value of the story.

g. Reading for comparing or content is reading to compare the way of life at the story with the way of live of the reader.

Another author said that the aim of reading is: a. Reading for pleasure.

b. Reading for information (in order to find out something or in order to do something whit the information you get).5

Meanwhile Lester and Allice Crow classified two general purposes, these purposes includes: leisure-time reading and more serious reading.6

a. Leisure-time reading. It is reading for enjoyments which may very in follow your favorite sport, comic, article, and movie program.

b. More serious reading. It is reading to study for a goal such as to obtain factual information and solve problems.

3. Types of Reading

Depending on the purpose s of reading it also can be classified into two types of activities, intensive and extensive reading.7

a. Intensive Reading

Intensive reading means reading shorter texts to extract specific information. This activity is likely more to emphasize the accuracy activity

(USA: Collier macmillan publishers, 1976), p.53

7

Christine Natal, Teaching Reading Skill in Foreign Language (London: The Womenn Educational ltd,1982), p.23

involving reading for detail. The process of scanning takes a more premiere role here than skimming. Reader is trying to absorb all the information given, example: reading dosage instruction for medicine.

b. Extensive Reading

Reader deals with a longer text as a whole, which requires the ability to understand the component part and their contribution the overall meaning, usually for one’s own pleasure. This is a fluency activity, mainly involving global understanding. Example: Reading a newspaper, article, short story or novel. In other words Francoise Grillet defines that “skimming is quickly running one’s eyes over a text to get the gist of it while, “scanning is quickly going through a text to find a particular piece of information”.8

So if a person wants to get an address, phone number, a date in a book over paragraph in order to locate a special piece of information, that activities is called “scanning” but if he read all the passage in order to know about what it deals about his reading, that is called “skimming”.

In skimming a reader must ask himself what the text is talked about he must move his eyes quickly over the text, looking especially at the main title, the beginning and the end, and the first sentence of paragraph. In scanning the reader must ask himself weather or not the text contains what he is looking for and if any, he must find where is located, he moves also his eyes more or less quickly over the text for specific item.

4. The Principles of Teaching Reading

In teaching reading there are several principles in order to achieve the purpose of reading according to Jeremy harmer, they are:9

a. Reading is not a passive skill

Reading is an active occupation. If involves any skills as guessing, predicting, checking, and asking oneself questions to do it successfully, we have

8

Francoise Grellet,op cit., p.4

9

Jeremy harmer, How to Teach-English: An Introduction to the practice of English language, (England: Longman, ltd), p. 70-7

to understand what the words mean, see the pictures the words are painting, understand the arguments, and work out if we agree with them. If we do not do these things-and if students do not do these things-then we only just scratch the surface of the text and we quickly forget it.

b. Students need to be engaged with what they are reading

Students who are not engaged with the reading text not actively interested in what they are doing-are less likely to benefit from it.

c. Students should be encouraged to respond to the context of a reading text, not just to the language.

Teacher should give students chances to respond to the message in some ways. It is important hat they should be allowed to expense their feelings about the topic.

d. Prediction is a major factor in reading.

Teacher should give students ‘hints’ so that they can predict what is coming too. If will make them better and more effective readers.

e. Match the task to the topic

The most interesting text can be determined by asking boring and inappropriate questions; the most commonplace passage can be made exciting with imaginative and challenging tasks.

f. Good teachers exploit reading texts to the full.

Many reading text is full of sentences, words, ideas, descriptions, etc. it does not make sense just to get students to read it and then drop it to more on to something else. Good teachers integrate the reading text into interesting class sequences, using the topic for discussion and further tasks.

According to Med D. Marksheffel, the principles of teaching reading are:10 a. Reading is a highly complex thinking process in which the entire organism

participates. It is composite of innumerable skills, abilities, process, and condition.

10

b. The continuous, cooperative evaluation of reading is the keystone to the student growth and development in learning.

c. Improvement in reading and learning in context areas is best achieved when reading is taught by subject-matter teacher.

d. To achieve maximum learning, teaching must begin at the student’s instructional reading level.

From the principle of teaching reading stated by the experts, the writer takes the conclusion that the principles in teaching reading are:

a. The students have to be encouraged to respond the meaning of reading text.

b. The teacher should explain the material or reading text clearly, she or he should match the ask given to the topic. It can increase the students achievement in learning.

c. Reading involves many skills and abilities, therefore the teacher should give great attention to the students’ development that involves the students’abilities to become efficient and skillful readers.

B. Contextual Teaching and Learning

1. Contextual Teaching and Learning

Philosophy of Contextual Teaching and Learning is rooted from John Dewey progressivism, the students will best learning if what they have learnt/learned is related with what they have already known and teaching learning process will be productive if the students are active in the process of teaching.

The majority of students in our school are learning and how that knowledge will be used. This is because the way they process information and their motivation for learning are not touched by the traditional methods of classroom teaching. The students have a difficult time in understanding academic concepts (such as math concept) as they are commonly taught (that is using an abstract, lecture method), but they desperately need to understand the concepts as they relate to the workplace and to larger society in which they will live and work.

Traditionally, students have been expected to make these connections on their own outside the classroom.

According to Contextual Learning theory, learning occurs only when students (learners) process new information or knowledge in such a way that it makes sense to them in their own frames of reference (their own inner worlds of memory, experience, and response). This approach to learning and teaching assumes that the mind naturally seeks meaning in Context-that is, in relation to the person’s current environment-and that is does so by searching for relationships that make sense and appear useful.

Building upon this understanding contextual learning theory focuses on the multiple aspects of any learning environment, whether a classroom, a laboratory, a computer lab, a worksite, or a wheat field. It encourages educators to choose and/or design learning environments that in corporate as many different forms of experience as possible-social, cultural, physical, and psychological-in working toward the desired learning outcomes11.

Contextual based learning is not a hot buzzword in many education, circles today, but it is not a new concept john sounders said that contextual teaching learning was a subject of great interest to educations philosopher, John Dewey around turn of the century. He added that contextual learning supports that when new knowledge presented in the context of persons past time experience, the learning is most effective12.

Contextual teaching and learning (CTL), an instructional system is based on the premise that meaning emerges from the relationship between content and its context. Context gives meaning to context. The broader the context within

11

Jack, Richards,“The Context of Language Teaching”, http://wwwTexas Collaborative, Org. 13 May 2008.

12

John, Sounders, Contextually Based Learning, fad or Pronen Practice in a forum brief:

which students’ is able to make connections, the more meaning content will hold for them13.

Contextual Teaching and Learning is a system of instruction based on the philosophy that students learn when they see meaning in academic material and they see meaning in schoolwork when they can connect new information with prior knowledge and their own experience14.

Basically CTL is a responds to Behaviorism Approach, which emphasizes on the concepts of stimulus respond with mechanical drills. To be able to use the language naturally as in real life and in various situation, critical thinking and meaningful learning are needed, when the students can relate the lessons they have got in school to their daily lives, they will be aware of the benefit learning. Besides, they will realize the importance of going to schools.

2. Definition of Contextual Teaching and Learning

The writer found come definitions about Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL). Based on Johnson in “ Contextual Teaching and Learning: what it is and why it is Here to Stay”, he stated that “the CTL system is and educational process that aims to help students see meaning in academic material they are studying by connecting academic subjects with the context of their personal, social, and cultural circumstances …”15.

Based on Nurhadi in pembelajaran kontekstual (CTL) dan penerapanya dalam KBK, there is a definition about CTL from the Washington state consortium for Contextual Teaching and Learning; contextual teaching is teaching that enables students to reinforce, expand and apply their academic knowledge

13

15

and skills in a variety of in school and out-of-school settings in order to solve simulated or real-world problem16.

Based on the department of Natural Education CTL is the concept of learning that aim to help teacher to make connection between the teaching materials with the context of students’ real world and encourages students to make connection between their knowledge with its applications in their daily lives17.

Based on the definitions above, CTL is a learning concept that help teacher relate subject matter content to real world situations to their daily life, and then students can gained knowledge and skills more and more by construct and solve a problem by their self in their community as a citizen.

3. Components of Contextual Teaching and Learning a. Constructivism

Constructivism is the philosophy of CTL approach mentioning that knowledge is constructed gradually and the result will be expanded through limited context and is eventually developed18. It is out of the question that a teacher can transfer all knowledge to the students. Therefore, students should construct what they have in mind by finding out complicated information to other situations of their own. During classroom activities students can refer to their experiences in lives. One thing the teacher should keep in mind that s/he can take students to learning atmosphere, which relates the lesson in class to what is available in their real lives.

b. Inquiry

On the basis of teaching, Inquiry is the care of CTL process. While designing the tasks of activities in class teachers should refer to an inquiry activity bath in reading and in speaking knowledge and skill that achieved by from

self-16

18

inquiry. The cycles of inquiry are observation, questioning, hypothesis date gathering, and conclusion.

c. Questioning

Questioning is not a new strategy. In teaching and learning process, teachers have already applied this strategy. Whet is new is that questioning is not only monopolized by the teacher but also is asked but the students it is natural to say that curiosity means questioning. If someone in curiousity about something, s/he will ask questions concerning the thing s/he is observing. Good questions can raise students’ interest, motivate them and lead to attract their attention to the phenomena observed.

d. Learning Community

Learning community suggests that the result of teaching and learning is resulted from doing tasks with other student’s in-group: in other words sharing is needed among friends, groups and among those who have known to those who haven’t. And this concept suggested that the result of learning be achieved from cooperative with another people.

e. Modeling

Another main component that is applicable is modeling teaching and learning English has quite many chances of applying modeling, begun with phonology to passages or texts. In assigning students to write a paragraph in form of narrative, the teacher does not only define what narrative is but s/he also gives examples. By so doing, the students know and can identify the narrative then at the end, they can apply it in their piece of writing.

f. Reflection

Reflection plays an important role in contextual teaching and learning. In reflection, the teacher thinks of what s/he has seen and heard. S/he pays more attentions to her/his teaching and is open to ideas or suggestions from other people. The teacher needs to consider several aspects such as learning constraints, students’ motivation, interesting and challenging tasks, and ways to help students learn. Reflection directs a teacher to act on purpose: what and when s/he does something. Teachers can also motivate the students to reflect about their lesson.

g. Authentic Assessment

Assessment is the on going process of gathering and analyzing evidence of what a students can do the term “Authentic assessment” is used to describe the multiple forms of assessment that reflect students learning achievement, motivation, and attitudes on instructionally-relevant classroom activities19.

Authentic assessment challenges students to apply new academic information and skills to a real situation for a significant purpose. It is the tool of a mind full school …clear about what it expects of standardized testing, authentic assessment gives young people the chance to exhibit the full range of their abilities while showing what they have learned20.

4. Strategies in Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL)

As explained above that CTL helps us relate subject matter content to real world situations and motivates students to make connections between knowledge and its application to their personal, social, and cultural circumstances in their lives. Therefore, the strategies in using CTL techniques are (Carr, M., et al., 1999:2).

a. Problem-based

Contextual teaching learning (CTL) can begin with a simulation or real problem. Students use critical thinking and systematic approach to inquiry to address the problem or issue, students may also drown upon multiple context areas to solve these problems, worthwhile problems that are relevant to students families, school experiences, workplaces, and communities hold greater personal meaning for students.

b. using multiple contexts

Theories of situated cognition suggest that knowledge connote be separate from the physical and social context in which in develops.

How and where a person acquires and creates knowledge is therefore very important. CTL experiences are enriched when students learn skills in multiple contexts (i.e. school, community, workplace, family).

c. Drawing upon students diversity.

On the whole, our students population is becoming more diverse, and with increased diversity comes differences can be the impetus for learning and can add complexity to the CTL experience. Team collaboration and group learning activities respect students diverse histories broaden perspectives, and build inter-personal skills.

d. Supported self-regulated learning.

Ultimately students must become life long learners, lifelong learners are able to seek out, analyze, and use information with little to no supervision. To do so, students must become more aware how they process information, employ problem-solving strategies, and use background knowledge. CTL experiences should allow for trial and error, provide and structure for reflection; and provide adequate support to assist to more from dependent to independent learning.

e. Using interdependent learning groups.

Students will be influenced by and will contribute to the knowledge and beliefs of others, learning groups or learning communities are established in workplaces and schools in an effort to share knowledge, focus on goals, and allow all to teach and learn from each other, when learning communities are established in school, educator act as coaches, facilitators and mentors.

f. Employing authentic assessment.

Contextual teaching a learning (CTL) is intended to build knowledge and skills in meaningful ways by engaging students in real life, or “authentic” context Assessment of learning should align with the methods and purposes of instruction. Authentic assessment shows (among other things) that learning has occurred; are blended into the teaching learning has process; and provide students with opportunities and direction for improvement. Authentic assessment is used to monitor student progress and inform teaching practices.

Meanwhile, the center of occupational research and development (CORD) states that are five strategies for the teachers for applying the contextual learning, they are called REACT.

a. Relating.

Learning related with the real world experience context. b. Experiencing.

Learning focused on the exploration, discovery, and invention. c. Applying.

Learning should be presented into the context, togetherness, etc. d. Transferring.

Learning by using the knowledge in the context or in the new situation Many of these strategies should be used by teacher using contextual teaching and learning approach. Activities such as team teaching, cooperative learning, integrated learning, work-based learning, service learning, problem based learning, and others support CTL approach and they are must by practiced in classroom properly.

5. Principles in Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL).

Related with the students individually needed, to apply the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) a teacher must have these following principles:

a. Planning a suitable learning for the students developmentally appropriate. Relationship between curriculum context and methodology that used to teach must be based on social condition, emotional and students intellectual development for example, what have learnt and done by junior high school students must be different with the senior high school have learnt and done.

b. Making independent learning groups.

Students can learn from each others in a little group and learn in a bigger team (class). This ability is a cooperation that needed by an adult in a work place and in another context. However, the students are hoped to act actively.

c. Preparing an environment that supports self-regulated learning.

Environment that supports self-regulated learning has three general characteristics they are awareness in thinking, the use of strategy, and continuing motivation. A teacher must create an environment where the students can reflect how they learn, finish the assignment, face a problem and corporate with other teacher it is clear that regulated learning not only related with simply minded about the students thinking but also helped them to use their performance; so they can solve a problem in a good way.

d. Considering the diversity of students.

In the class, a teacher used to teach variety students for instance background ethnic, social-economy status, mother language that they use in their home, and another weakness they have. However, a teacher is expecting to help the students to achieve their learning purpose.

e. Pay attention to the students multiple intelligences.

In using Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach, the way of students participation in a class must be pay attention on the need and the eight orientations learning (special-verbal, linguistic-verbal, interpersonal, musical-rhythm, naturalistic, pysickinesthetic, intrapersonal and logic- mathematic). However, in serving the students in a class a teacher must be integrated any learning strategies in contextual teaching and learning (CTL) approach. So the learning will be more effective for the students with their each intelligence.

f. Using questioning techniques to explore the students learning, problem solving development, and high-thinking order.

In other to achieve the purpose of CTL, kind and the question level must be spoken, the question must be selected carefully in other to produce the high thinking order, responses, and the action that need by the students and all of audiences in contextual learning.

g. Applying the authentic assessment.

Authentic assessment evaluates the applying of knowledge and students complex thinking, it is better than the students just memorizing the actual information. CTL nature condition needs the interdisciplinary assessment that can

measure knowledge and skills deeply and in a variety way than one disciplinary measure.

C. Teaching Reading by using Contextual Teaching and Learning

(CTL).

Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) is a system of instruction based on the philosophy that students learn when they see meaning in academic material, and they see meaning in schoolwork when they can connect new information with prior knowledge and their own experience.

Therefore, when teaching reading by using CTL, the writer tries to give the reading material has a connection with their real life. So, the students can connect new information that they already have with their own experience.

The writer will give the procedures of an effectiveness of using Contextual Teaching Learning in reading.

1. The teacher greets the students with good morning, students! And asked “How are you today?”

2. The teacher checks the student attendance list.

3. The teacher gives motivation to the students by giving the students understanding important of English language in their life, and motivate them to study hard and seriously.

4. Teacher asks the students to tell what news is popular at that time and the teachers related it with the topic that the students will learn which profession is.

5. The teacher gives games that related to the topic and the students should do the games with their partner.

6. Teachers introduce the material they are going to be learned. 7. The teacher shows the media (flash card) related to the topic.

8. The teacher asks the students to tell what kind of profession that they already know with their own experience.

9. Teacher gives dialogue that related to the topic which profession is and asks the students to act it out in the front of the class in fair.

10. Teacher asks what kind of information that the students get about kind of profession in that the dialogue, about location, uniform, time and so on. 11. Teacher explains about activities in the future and asks the students to tell

what kind of profession that they want in the future and than make an example with uses kind of profession.

12. Teacher asks the students to make a group of four. Each students count from one ten. Number one belongs to group one; two belongs to group two and so on.

13. Teacher gives a hand out that consists of kind of profession and their explanation. The students work in their group to match kind of profession with their explanation.

14. Teacher asks the students to find another kind of profession and its explanation. And then another group has to find out what kind of profession with their explanation.

15. Teacher plays a film scene to the students. The teachers ask the students to make four groups. Lines one become a group one, line to become a group two and so on.

16. The teacher asks the students to work in their group to discuss the film scene that the teachers have played to the students.

17. Teacher asks the students to find out the information about kind of profession in the film scene with their group.

18. Each group makes a report about the information that they get from the film scene.

19. Teacher asks the students from each group to present the result or their report in front of the class.

20. Discussed with the teacher or another students about what they have learned today.

21. Evaluation of CTL got from students progress, students participation in group work and the presentation by students during the teaching and learning process.

D. Thinking Framework

Theaching learning process is one of the activities in the educational field. The success of teahing learning process does not entirely depend on the teacher, but the student also influences it.

There is Teaching Reading using Contextual Teaching Learning (CTL) because the students who has understand material with get hight score in english test. In contrast, most students with contextual teaching and learning material have more success in learning english because they are able to understand it and english is a very important to the student to understand. There is no a correlation between using contextual teaching and learning material teaching reading and reading ability in learning english because the students with no understand in reading ability usually tend to face more difficulties in learning english.

The ability to understand about english learning achievement depends on several factors, such as language skills, students’ experiences, motivational, bacgraound knowledge, the ways at english teachers in teaching reading.

It is very important for teacher to understand the implication of differences contextual teaching learning english in the class in order to encourage the fulfillment of each students’ scholastic potential. This it can be concluded that students’ to understand role on the students learning achievement in english. Students’ achievement is signed by their final scores it is resulted from the average of their daily scores (formative scores) and their final test score.

The learning achievement in this research is the result of teaching english in SMP PGRI 28 Jakarta, the result got through the final test from the second semester.High or low students’ ability is seen from their achievemet after getting lesson. If they get low result it means there are many abstacles, such as: psychological, sociological and physiological. Therefore they can reach maximal result in other words, their achievement is under their ability, students’ who have abstacles in learning process are said have learning difficulties.

Research Methodology

Method of Research

1. Subject of Research.

The subject of research was the second grade Students of SMP PGRI 12 Jakarta in Pondok Labu. The writer got the data from class (VIII-1) and took 40 students as a sample of the research.

2. Place and Time of Research.

The research of this study was held at SMP PGRI 12 Pondok Labu Jakarta. It was begun by observation and finished by giving the test about reading from 31 October up to 28th November 2008. The writer did the research for four meetings. The research consisted of presenting lesson and giving test, after data was collected, the writer began to analyze them.

3. Technique of Taking Sample. a. Population

The writer did the research to the second grade Students of SMP PGRI 12 Jakarta that was involved in the process of using contextual teaching learning for reading skill approach.

The reseach populations are the students of SMP PGRI 12 Jakarta. There are seven parallel class VIII.1 until class VIII.7. The students of the second grade Students were (328) pupils from classes, and the writer took 40

students from one classes (VIII-1) as a sample of the research. It was 15 % from the total population based on the academic year 2008/2009. The writer chose this class (VIII-1) because he taught in the class and to make her easier in collecting the data.

b. Sample

The sample was taken by random sampling system namely where 20 students from experiment contextual in english teaching learning process for reading skill at front of and 20 students from control reading text with skimming and skanning.

4. Technique of Data Collecting.

The technique of data collecting is done by test. The test is done for getting the data objectives of Students achievement in teaching English reading using Contextual Teaching and learning. The test was given after Teaching and learning process had been finished. The instruments consisted of 30 items test consisting of three types:

a. Multiple choice, there are fifteen items and each item is scored 2, so the total score of this type is 30.

b. True-Falls, there are ten items and each item is scored 3, so the total score of this type is 30.

c. Completion, there are fifth items and each items is scored 4, so the total score of this type is 40.

B.

Research Finding

1. Data Analysis

Data analysis is the last step in the procedure of experiment in this case, data processing. Data processing is the step to know the result of the an effectiveness by using CTL in teaching reading.

The technique of data analysis used in this research is descriptive analysis (percentage), which is described on the table of the percentage. The writer uses the formula:

P = F × 100 % N

P: Percentage F: Frequency

N: Number of sample

Mid point (Xi) =

2 mins maks x

x + ₁

X maks: Underneath class X min’s: Beneath class

To find out how significance the increase of students’reading skill using contextual teaching and learning, the writer used a statistical calculation of t-test to determine the final calculation of to(t observation) that is done to measure last

score of the reseach test. The formula that used is2:

to= MD

SEMD

MD = Mean of differences; the average score from the differences gain scores between Y1and Y2variable, wich are calculating with the formula:

MD=Ʃ D N

ƩD = The total score between Y1and Y2 variable, D is gained with the formula:

D = Y1–Y2

N = Total of Students’

SEMD= The standard error from mean of differences which is gained with the formula:

SDMD= SDD

√N-1

SDD= The standard deviation from the differences between score of variable Y1

and variable Y2which is gained with formula:

SDD= √ƩD2 - √ƩD

N ( N )

2. Data Description

N = 40 _ƩX = 2712 ƩY = 3032 ƩD = -316 ƩD2= 3956

Note :

N : Number of students X : The score of pre test Y : The score of post test ƩX : The Total score of X

ƩY : The Total score of Y

ƩD : The Total of difference

ƩD2 : The Total score of quadrate difference

Based on the data in table 3.6, the writer calculation the result of_ƩD : -316 and_Ʃ D2: 3956. Then, the writer tried to find out the standard deviation with formula:

SDD:√ ƩD2 - [ ƩD ]2

N N

:√ 3956 - [ -316 ]2

40 40

:√ 98.9 - [ 7.9 ]2 SDD:√ 98.9 - 62.41

:√ 36.49 SDD: 6.04

To find out the mean of differences ( MD ) between variable X and Y, the writer used formula:

MD : _ƩD_ N

: - 316_ 40

MD : - 7.9

After finding the result of SDD, the writer can seek SEMD (the standard error )

from mean of differences which is gained with the formula: SEMD: SDD_

√ N-1 : _6.04__

√ 40 - 1 : _6.04__

√ 39 : _6.04__

6.24

SEMD: 0.96

The last calculation is determining the result of to (t observation) that is done to

measure last score of the research test with formula: to: MD_

: _-7.9__ 0.96

to: -8.22

the last result -8.22 indicates that there is a difference of degree as much as -8.22. regardless the minus it does not indicate negative score.

Then to complete the result of the research, the writer tries to find out the degree of freedom (df) with formula:

df: N- 1 df: 40–1

df: 39 (see table of “t” values at degree of significances of 5% and 1%). At the degree of significance of 5 % : 2.04

At the degree of significance of 1 % : 2.76

The result of analyzing the data by using the formula above shows that the

coeficient is 8.22. this means that there is a significant increase in students’

reading scores by using contextual teaching learning.

4. Interpretation of Data.

Based on the data collected from the test gained from the pre test and post test has showed the mean scores of post test after using contextual teaching and learning in reading activities was 75.87 while the mean score of pre test before using contextual teaching learning was 67.45.

From explanation above the analysis of the result, we can see that the teacing reading using contextual teaching and learning is adeguate success, it can be seen on the table above.

5. The Hypothesis Testing

The writer states the hypothesis as follow:

a. Ha : “There is a significance on students’ reading score before and after

b. Ho : “There is no significant difference on students’ reading score before

and after using contextual teaching and learning”.

According to Sudjono, if the result of calculation to( t observation ) is

higher than tt( t table ), to > tt; so the null hypothesis is rejected. It mean that

there is a significant difference on students’ reading score before and after using

contextual teaching and learning, and if the result calculation to( t observation )

is lower than tt( t table), to< tt; so the null hypothesis (Ho) is accepted3.

As stated above, the result ofdf (40-1 : 39) on degree of significance of 5% and 1% are 2.04 and 2.76. comparing the towith each values of the degree of

significance, the result is 2.04 < 8.22 > 2.76.

Since towhich is obtained from the result of calculating is higher than the

tt, so the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) is

rejected.

CHAPTER IV

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

A. Conclusion

Derived from the result of the analysis of research, the value of “to” (t

observation) is 8.22 and the value of “tt” (t table) from the df (39) on degree of

significance of 5% and 1% are 2.04 and 2.76. it means that the value of tohigher

than the value of tt. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the

null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. The data described previously, the writer concludes that “teaching reading using contextual teaching and learning is successful. Based on the pre-test and post-test average mark there is a different result between the pre-test score. The pre-test has average mark 67.45 and the post-test has average mark 75.87. The average mark is increasing. According to Norman E. Gronlund, 75.87 are classified into more than enough from the explanation above“Teaching Reading using Contextual Teaching Learning in”.

It can be seen from the average score of the test, the average score is 75.87. From the result of analysis, it is generally accepted that Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach should be applied in the teaching and learning process.

B.

Suggestion

According to the conclusion above, this study would like to propose the following suggestions for teachers, head masters, policy makes, and others who are involved in teaching and learning process: (1) The English teacher should be well prepared before entering the classroom, (2) the learning material should be

new information and their background knowledge, (3) The teacher should make the students realize that the material that will be given is important for their daily communication, (4) The activities of learning should be various and enjoyable, (5) The English teachers should give some variations in teaching reading. Teaching can do role-play, making group, using picture or kind of game that are attractive for the students.
