Reciprocal teaching is an instructional procedure designed to enhance students’ comprehension of the text.

Reciprocal teaching is characterized by: 1 a dialog between students and teacher, each taking a turn in the role of dialogue leader, 2 ‘reciprocal means interaction where one person acts in response to the other, 3 structured dialogue using four strategies: questioning, summarizing, clarifying and predicting. Palincsar 1986 states that Reciprocal teaching refers to an instructional activity that takes place in the form of dialogue between teachers and students regarding segment of the text. Reciprocal teaching provides students with four specific reading strategies that actively and consciously were used in analyzing a text; clarifying, predicting, questioning and summarizing. The purpose of reciprocal teaching is to facilitate the group effort between teacher and students as well as among students in a task of bringing meaning of the text. According to A. L Brown and Palinscar in Ormrod 2003: 460, reciprocal teaching is an approach to teaching reading through which students learn effective reading-to-learn strategies by observing and imitating what their teacher and fellow students do. The teacher and several students meet in a group to read a piece of text, occasionally stopping to discuss and process the text aloud. Furthermore, reciprocal teaching is a major instructional strategy that helps readers interact personally with the text and construct meaning as they increase their ability to ask questions, clarify hard parts, make predictions and summarize what they are reading Slavin, 1997: 280. In conclusion, reciprocal teaching is an instructional teaching technique which facilitates students and teacher to bring the meaning by using four commit to user 32 strategies; predicting, clarifying, questioning and summarizing which are used to analyze the text.
