4 effective between CIRC and JIGSAW to teach reading especially to teach recount
text.
1.2 Reasons for Choosing the Topic
This study is related to the effectiveness of using CIRC Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition to teach recount text if it is compared by using
JIGSAW. The reasons for the researcher to choose this topic are as follows: First, Jigsaw is cooperative learning which is commonly used by teachers to teach
reading. Teachers and lecturers usually use this technique to teach reading for their students in class. Because of it, teachers need to know another technique as
the alternative way to teach reading in class in order to make class more attractive and contains various activities.
Second, CIRC, the example of cooperative learning which can be used by teachers to teach reading in class, is rarely used by teachers as the teaching technique to
teach reading. It is also rather unfamiliar for the researcher, so the researcher wants to know deeper about this technique and about the effectiveness of CIRC if
it is compared by teaching technique which is is commonly used by teachers that is Jigsaw.
