E. Teaching Reading Using Think Pair Share Method Compared to Direct
Instruction Method
In this research, the researcher uses two methods in teaching reading: Think Pair Share Method and Direct Instruction Method. The followings are the
steps how to teach reading by using those methods.
Table. 2. 2 Teaching Reading Using Think Pair Share Method Compared to Direct Instruction Method
STEPS Think Pair Share
Direct Instruction Method Pre-
Reading Activity
1.
Introducing the title of the text and giving guiding questions about the
topic which is going to be discussed. 2. Brainstorming about text by giving
questions 3. Explaining the procedure of Think
Pair Share Method. 4. Distributing a text.
1. Explaining of the goal and preparing
students a
Explaining about the goal of the lesson.
b Explaining the procedure of
Direct Instruction Method. c
Showing an example about narrative text and distributing
the narrative text entitled to the students.
The teacher
introduces the material.
Whilst- Reading
Activity
5. Think a
Asking the students to read the text individually
b Giving the students “think time” a few moments to think
about the answer of the question individually.
6. Pair a
Dividing students into pairs. b Giving worksheet to each pairs
c Giving marks to the students to
start pairing up with other students.
d Guiding the students to analyze the content of the text and
monitoring discussion process. 7. Share
a The teacher calls on some pairs
to share their answers with the rest of the class.
b Asking each pair to give opinion to other pairs. Other
pairs give feedback and share their different ideas.
2. Presenting
or demonstrating
of certain skill
a Explaining to the students about the characteristics of text,
such as; generic structure, linguistics feature, and social
function of text to the students.
b Teacher guides the students
through some questions that have correlation with the topic.
c Teacher checks frequently for
understanding of all students and provide immediate
corrective feedback when needed.
3. Giving guided practice
a The teacher asks the students to
read few lines from the text. b The students are asked to
translate the words from the text into their L1. The teacher
helps them
in translate
meanings for these words. c
The answers are checked by them. Mistakes are corrected by
the teacher.

Post- Reading
Activity
1. Giving feedback to students’ answer
or students’ discussion.
2.
Giving assessment to the result of discussion of each pair.
1. Giving Individual Task
a Giving worksheet to each
student. b
Asking each student to answer the questions in their students’
worksheet related to the text independently.
c Giving feedback to students’
answer.
The table above shows the Teaching Reading Using Think Pair Share
Method Compared to Direct Instruction Method. It can be concluded Think Pair Share gives students the opportunity to thoughtfully respond to questions in
written form and to engage in meaningful dialogues with other students around these issues. Asking students to write and discuss ideas with a partner before
sharing with the larger group gives students more time to compose their ideas. This format helps students build motivation, encourages greater participation and
often results in more thoughtful discussions. Meanwhile, Direct Instruction Method seems can satisfy the learners since they only become the follower and
depend on the teacher during the teaching and learning process. They only wait the teacher’s explanation about the text to get information or messages from the
text.
