ABSTRACT
The objective of the research are: (1) to prove whether or not fan-n-pick method is more
effective than grammar translation method in teaching reading comprehension, (2) to prove
whether or not students who have high self-confidence have better reading skill than those

who have low self-confidence, and (3) to prove whether or not there is an interaction between
teaching methods and students’ self-confidence on the students’ reading skill.
The research was conducted at SMPN 2 Kejobong, Purbalingga. The research belongs to
experimental study. The population was the eighth grade students of SMPN 2 Kejobong in the
academic year of 2012/ 2013. The technique used to get the sample was cluster random
sampling. Test (reading test) and non test (self-confidence questionnaire) techniques were used
to collect the data. They were tried-out to be a valid and reliable instrument. The data of
reading test were analyzed by using multifactor analysis of variance 2 x 2. Then, they were
analyzed by using Tukey test.
The result of inferential analysis of the data shows that fan-n-pick method is more effective
than grammar translation method to teach reading. Second, the students having high selfconfidence have better reading skill than those who have low self-confidence. Third, there is
an interaction effect between the teaching methods used and students’ self-confidence in
teaching reading. Fan-n-pick method is more effective than GTM for teaching reading for
students having high self-confidence and GTM is more effective than fan-n-pick method for
teaching reading for students having low self-confidence.
Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that fan-n-pick method is an effective
method to teach reading, and the effectiveness of this method is affected by the level of the
students’ self-confidence.

low

self-

confidence are very happy because they
do not need to share ideas in answering
the questions of the text. Low selfconfidence can influence the students to
feel too anxious, nervous, or worried
about.
They are always ashamed to answer
the questions in front of the other
students. It makes them very passive
during reading activity. That is why GTM
is moreappropriate to teach reading to
students having low self-confidence. It
means there is an interaction between
teaching methods and students’ selfconfidence to teach reading.
