Abstract

This final project is based on a study which attempts to examine the effectiveness of using Say Something strategy for teaching reading narrative text. The purpose of the study was to find out whether there is any significant difference in students’ achievement of reading test between those who were taught using Say Something and those who were taught using lecturing method. This study applied a quasi-experimental design. This research design comprised try-out, pre-test, treatment, and post-test. The students in class X MIPA 4, X MIPA 3, and X MIPA 6 were chosen to be the participants of the study. Class X MIPA 4 was the tryout participant. Meanwhile, class X MIPA 3 was chosen to be the control group and class X MIPA 6 was chosen to be the experimental group. The control group was taught by using lecturing method and the experimental group was taught by Say Something strategy. The result of the study indicated that the group taught by Say Something has better score in the test than the group taught by lecturing method. In the pretest, the mean score of the control group was (61.78) and the experimental group was (61.36). The mean of post-test of experimental group (72.63) was higher than control group (64.22). Moreover, the t-test calculation presented that there was a significant difference level sig (-2 tailed) 0.00. Since sig value is lower than ן = 0.05 (p value൏ 0.05) it can be concluded that there is significant difference from both of groups, control and experimental groups in post-test. Furthermore, null hypothesis (Ho ) was rejectedand alternative hypothesis (H1 ) was accepted. In conclusion, Say Something is effective for teaching reading narrative text and there was a significant difference in students’ achievement of reading test between those who taught using Say Something and those who taught lecturing method. It can be a helpful strategy for summarizing ideas from students about topic given. Moreover, it encourages students to be critical and think by using the steps given.
