9. Lectora is ready to used by clicking the Lectora icon.
Figure 2.9 Lectora icon appears on Desktop
Lectora is software of authoring tool in form of desktop base. Desktop base means that Lectora needs a certain hardware requirement but the usage of the
application can be controlled by the user. The application of desktop base is run on local drive and it does not need internet as web base application. Then the
operation of Lectora is faster than web base application because it does not depend on the internet condition.
E. Hypothesis PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

After discussing the theoretical description, the hypothesis of the study is that Lecfenco can improve students’ reading comprehension of Junior High
School in the 2015 – 2016 academic year.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODS
This research methodology is aimed to qualify the technique and method used for this research so that the goal of this research can be achieved.
A. Setting of Research
The study was done in SMPN 2 Bambanglipuro, and the subjects of the research are the students of Grade IXD in Academic Year of 2015
– 2016. The chosen class to be the subject of the research was class IXD. This class consist of 29 students. The class was chosen as the subject of
the research because most of the students still had low achievement in reading comprehension. The low achievement was showed by their scores for reading comprehension. Most of them got scores
under 75.00, the minimum passing grade or Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM. Moreover, the problems of students were: 1 ident
ify words’ meaning; 2 identify detailed information; 3 determine pronoun reference; and 4 infer implicit information.
Students of class IXD could be classified into three categories: high, average, and low students based on the result of the pre-test. The classroom action research was conducted to
overcome the students’ problem in the teaching and learning process of reading. The learning activities were done in 2 cycles and every cycle had two meetings. In conducting the research, the
researcher was assisted by one of English teachers in SMPN 2 Bambanglipuro, Mrs. Nurul Hidayati, S.S.
B. Research Design
The Research Planning or the Research Design used in this research was Classroom Action Research CAR.
1. Definition of Classroom Action Research Burns 2010: 2 states that the main aims of action reserch is to identify a ‘problematic’
situation or issue that the participants – who may include teachers, students, managers,
administrators, or even parents – consider worth looking into more deeply and systematically.
