ABSTRACT
Fatoni, Muhammad. 2013. The Reading Recount Text Comprehension of the
Eight Grade Student of MTs NU Wahid Hasyim Salafiyah Jekulo Kudus
in academic Year 2012/2013 Taught by Using Crazy Professor Reading
Technique. skripsi. English Education Department, Teacher Training and
Education Faculty, Muria Kudus University. Advisor : (1) Diah Kurniati,
S.Pd, M.Pd (2) Dra. Sri Endang Kusmaryati, M.Pd.
Key words: reading comprehension, Crazy Professor Reading Technique.
Reading is one of the important English language skills because it plays
important role in teaching learning process. Reading is essential for the students to
get information or knowledge to support their achievement when they read some
literatures such as journal, articles, magazines, books, etc. As we know that there
are many kinds of media of information which are written in English, so it is very

useful for them. Being able to read well in English seems to be a must for them.
The condition of teaching learning process in MTs NU Wahid Hasyim Salafiyah,
many of students felt bored to join reading class. The reason is the teacher always
teaches students only by asking students to read the sentences of text one by one
and try to translate it together to Indonesia. On this condition the writer tries to
apply the Crazy Professor Reading Technique as the technique to teach reading.
The objective of this research is to find out whether there is a significant
difference of reading recount text comprehension of eighth grade students of MTs
NU Wahid Hasyim Salafiyah Jekulo Kudus in academic year 2012/2013 before
and after being taught by using Crazy Professor Reading Technique.
This research is an experimental research. The writer uses 1 class. The
population used in this research is the eighth grade students of MTs NU Wahid
Hasyim Salafiyah Jekulo Kudus in academic year 2012/2013 in second semester.
The writer recount text as the material and prepares 30 multiple choices about
recount text. After the students were given pre test, they were given the treatment
for six meeting. Then the data were analyzed using t-test.
The result of the experiment shows that the mean of pre test is 62.58 and the
mean of post test is 72.38. It was found t-observation 6.18 in the level of
significance 0.05, the degree of freedom (df) 25, and t-table (tt) 2.06. In other
word t-observation is higher than t-table (to>tt). Thus, Ho is denied and Ha is

confirmed. Therefore, the hypothesis state, “there is significant different between
The Reading Recount Text Comprehension of eighth grade students of MTs NU
Wahid Hasyim Salafiyah Jekulo Kudus in academic year 2012/2013 before and
after being taught by using Crazy Professor Reading Technique” is confirmed.
Because of the use of Crazy Professor Reading Technique in teaching
reading comprehension shows good results, the writer suggest to the english
teacher of junior high school can use this technique in teaching reading. It proved
that Crazy Professor Reading Technique is effective for encouraging the students’
reading comprehension ability.

ABSTRAKSI
Fatoni, Muhammad. 2013. Pemahaman membaca recount teks dari murid-murid
MTs NU Wahid Hasyim Salafiyah Jekulo Kudus kelas delapan tahun
pelajaran 2012/2013 yang diajarkan menggunakan Teknik Profesor Gila
Membaca. skripsi. Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas
Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing :
(1) Diah Kurniati, S.Pd, M.Pd (2) Dra. Sri Endang Kusmaryati, M.Pd.
Kata Kunci: pemahaman membaca, teknik profesor gila membaca.
Membaca adalah salah satu kemamapuan Bahasa Inggris yang penting
karena memiliki peran yang penting dalam proses belajar mengajar. Membaca

adalah hal penting bagi murid untuk mendapatkan informasi atau pengetahuan
guna mendukung prestasi mereka. Sebagaimana yang telah kita ketahui bersama
bahwa ada banyak jenis media informasi yang tertulis dalam Bahasa Inggris,
sehingga hal itu menjadi penting bagi mereka. Mampu membaca dengan baik
sepertinya menjadi suatu keharusan bagi mereka. Kondisi proses belajar mengajar
di MTs NU Wahid Hasyim Salafiyah, banyak murid yang merasa bosan untuk
mengikuti kelas membaca. Alasannya adalah guru bahasa inggrisnya sering
mengajar murid-murid hanya dengan cara meminta murid untuk membaca
kalimat-kalimatnya satu per satu dan kemudian mencoba untuk
menerjemahkannya bersama-sama ke dalam bahasa Indonesia. Dalam kondisi ini
penulis mencoba menerapkan teknik Profesor Gila Membaca sebagai teknik
dalam mengajarkan pemahaman membaca.
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan adakah perbedaan secara
signifikan pada pemahaman membaca teks recount pada murid kelas delapan MTs
NU Wahid Hasyim Salafiyah Jekulo Kudus tahun pelajaran 2012/2013 sebelum
dan setelah diajar dengan menggunakan teknik profesor gila membaca.
Penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen. Penulis menggunakan 1 kelas.
Populasi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah murid MTs NU Wahid
Hasyim Salafiyah Jekulo Kudus kelas delapan semester dua tahun pelajaran
2012/2013. Penulis menggunakan teks recount sebagai materi pelajaran dan

mempersiapkan 30 soal pilihan ganda tentang teks recount. Setelah murid diberi
pre test, mereka diberi penanganan sebanyak 6 pertemuan. Kemudian data yang
diperoleh dianalisa menggunakan t-test.
Hasil dari eksperimen menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata hasil pre test adalah
62.58 dan rata-rata dari hasil post test adalah 72.38. Ditemukan bahwa nilai tobservasi adalah 6.18 dengan tingkat signifikan 0.05, degree of freedom 25, ttable (tt) 2.06. Dengan kata lain t-observasinya lebih tinggi dari pada t-table (to>tt).
Dengan demikian, Ho ditolak dan Ha diterima. Oleh karena itu, pernyataan
hipotesis yang berbunyi “ Ada perbedaan secara signifikan antara pemahaman
membaca teks recount pada murid kelas delapan MTs NU Wahid Hasyim
Salafiyah Jekulo Kudus tahun pelajaran 2012/2013 sebelum dan setelah diajar
dengan menggunakan teknik profesor gila membaca” itu diterima.

Dikarenakan penggunaan teknik professor gila membaca dalam proses
pengajaran pemahaman membaca menunjukkan hasil yang bagus, penulis
menyarankan bahwa guru bahasa inggris pada sekolah menengah pertama dapat
menggunakan teknik ini dalam mengajarkan pemahaman membaca. Hal ini
terbukti bahwa teknik profesor gila membaca efektif untuk meningkatkan
kemampuan pemahaman membaca murid.
