The Effect of Think Aloud Strategy on Students’ Ability in Reading Comprehension

Abstract

This research is intended to know the effect of using Think Aloud Strategy to the students’ ability in Reading Comprehension As the result, experimental group (with using Think Aloud Strategy) is more effective than control group (without using using Think Aloud Strategy). The result is students are more active in comprehending the text in experimental group rather than in control group, because using Think Aloud Strategy as a learning strategy is interesting for them. The result is not just supported by the observation, but it is also supported by the scientific result as folows, The researcher finds that the score of t-test is higher than t-table (3.57 > 1.67) or t-test > t-table, where the t-table is 1.67 and t-test is 3.57. So, the data analysis shows that there is the significant effect in using Think Aloud Strategy to the students’ ability in Reading Comprehension.
