To calculate the reliability of the test, the researcher used Kuder-Richardson (KR21)formula. The calculation shown the reliability of the test was 0.99 (high). Besides, the data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The calculation shown that t-observed (4.06) was higher than t-table (1.994) at the level of significance (α) 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 68. It proved that applying of language Constructivist Approach significantly affects the students’ reading comprehension of procedure text.
