CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. The Background Of The Study
Language is a unit of communication which is used in society situation
generally. In the case of language, there are four skills that are need to learn by
students, they are listening, speaking, reading and writing. One of the language
skills that should be learnt by English learners is reading. Reading is an essential
skill for all students at all levels. The students are required to be able to read, but
the students feel difficult when they want to draw the meaning and get
information from a reading text.
According to William and Fredicka(1988:4) reading can be thought of as
way to draw information from the text and form an interpretation of that
information. In reading, the students are expected to be knowledgeable and
familiar with what the teacher has explained in the context, where as in
comprehension the students are expected to have more skills than to explain
individual text or passage after comprehending them. The purpose of reading
comprehension is to get some skill to understanding the text.
Apparently, it is contrast to the fact that most of Grade VIII junior high
school students still have low score achievement in reading English. As
McNamara (2009) states that reading passage seems to be too difficult for them
because of some conditions. The conditions here refer to the failure of
understanding the words, the sentences, the sentences’ unity and organization, and
the lack of interest or concentration. That problem often happening when students

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
A. Conclusion
Having analyzed the data, the researcher found that the using Two Stay
Two Stray (TSTS) Strategy significantly affects the students’ achievement in
reading comprehension, since the t-test > t-table (4,34>2,000; df = 58, p = 0,05).
The experimental class was taught by using Two Stay Two Stray Strategy while
control groups was without using Two Stay Two Stray Strategy. Based on the
theoretical and statistical findings.this research concludes that teaching reading
comprehension. The finding shows that the null hypothesis is rejected., so the
students’ achievement in reading comprehension taught by using Two Stay Two
Stray (TSTS) Strategy is higher than that without using Two Stay Two Stray
(TSTS) Strategy. This is because the using Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) Strategy
in teaching reading comprehension enables the students to explore their ideas with
their own words, to ask questions in their mind and to activate their prior
knowledge as well with their team.

B. Suggestions
Based on the conclusion drawn above, it is suggested that :
1. English teachers use Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) Strategy as affective
strategy to stimulate the students learning reading spirit and interest in
teaching–learning reading process.

43

2. Students use this strategy in order to make it easier for them to identify the
main thing from the text andshare their ideas and recognize their friends’
opinion.
3. The students’ readers who are interested in doing related study to find out
more information about the effectiveness Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS)
Strategy.
