CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background
Language is very important in human communication. Without language
people cannot communicate with others. In a wide community, English has
become international scale because English is a part of sciences in technology and
also we can say English is a foreign language. Most of the communities in the
whole world use English in order they can communicate with others who have
different languages. Our government’s response toward this case is that English
language has been put in the educational system in our country, and it is taught
from elementary school until university and becomes a compulsory subject.
(Yunita, 1996:1)
The area of English language teaching According to Brown (2001:334)
include four language skills (writing, speaking, reading and listening) and
language components (structure and vocabulary). The aims of teaching language
skills and components are to enable the students to understand and to master the
language in human communication internationally and also subject to develop the
human resources in studying the knowledge and science for academic purpose.
This also means that they will be qualified enough before going to university.
Reading is the skills to master English besides listening, speaking and
writing. Beside that reading is an activity with a purpose. The purposes of reading
such as to gain information or verify existing knowledge to learn subject matter
1

for enjoyment academic purpose and prepare test purpose. To achieve those skills
the students find it difficulties such as to understand the information (main idea
and details). Reading is one important skill in learning English and has to be
increase. It is use to get information. Even though, people know that there are
many ways to get information, however reading is common way to fulfill our need
about up to date information, because almost of the information, advertisement
scientific books and instruction of things are in writing form.
Based on the explanation above the problem of the reader in reading is
how they can comprehend the contents or get the message that extended by the
writer. In comprehend the reading of the text they have to find the main idea and
detail information because they are important to gets information about the
writers’ ideas. The main idea is the most general ideas in the paragraph while
detail information is supporting of the ideas in the paragraph. When the reader
want to knows about the main idea and detail information they have to understand
how a text organized because to comprehend the written words the reader must
able to understand what the writer has to structure of organized the ideas and
information presented in the text and relate the ideas and information presented in
the text and relate the ideas and information from text to ideas information stored
in his or her mind. So they can comprehend the content of the text and besides
that they can remember the contents of the text without reading again. Summaries
of the text is one of easy way in comprehend the content of the reading text. All of
the information in the summary will be contained in the reading text although the
words used will be different.
6
Beside that, through reading the students can improve their knowledge in
fields of science. This is supported by Harper in Sriadi (2001:2) who states that
the purpose of reading any language is to inform ourselves about something we
are interested in, or to challenge our knowledge on strategy, in other words, the
purpose of reading is to extend our experience of the word in which the people
life. By using DRTA (Directed Reading Thinking Activity ), it will encourage the
students to be active and thoughtful readers, enhancing their comprehension. The
teacher who uses DRTA also teaches students to monitor their understanding of
the text as they are reading. It helps strange them reading critical skill, by Jenning
C and Shepherd, J (1998).
Based on the statement above, the researcher choose the title “Improving
the Students’ Reading Comprehension Through the use of DRTA (Directed
Reading Thinking Activity at the second grade students of SMK Neg.6 Jeneponto)
B. Problem statement
Related to the fact in background present above, here the researcher
formulation problem statement as follows:
Does the use of Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) strategy
improve the students’ literal reading comprehension at the second
grade of SMK Neg 6 Jeneponto?
7
C. Objective of the Research
Relating to the research question above, this research aim to find out:
To find out The use of Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA)
strategy to improving the students’ literal reading Comprehension at the
Second Grade of SMK Neg.6 Jeneponto.
D. Significance of the Research
The findings of this research expected was useful information and
contribution to English teaching. This research gives the teacher a new strategy to
encourage the students’ comprehension in reading. The result of the research are
expected to suggest the teacher to give attention to the students needed and then
the students easy to comprehend the text in teaching learning process in the
classroom by the good strategy. It is also hoped that the findings of this research
would be very useful information or references to teach reading material so that
their students’ narrative reading comprehension will be enhanced by the use of
DRTA.
E. Scope of the Research
The scope of this research is restricted to the students’ improving narrative
text in literal reading comprehension through Directed Reading Thinking Activity
(DRTA) at the Second grade of SMK Neg 6 Jeneponto that would focused to
literal comprehension, literal comprehension here consisted of main idea that are
directly stated it cover main idea and supporting idea and detail information from
the text.(narrative text).

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
A. Previous Research Finding
There are some researchers who have conducted research by using few
techniques in reading. They are:
1. Wijaya, (2003) the research “Increase Reading Comprehension of the
second year students of SMU Negeri 4 Parepare through identify main
idea of paragraph”. He reports research technique that the main idea of
paragraph can increase the students’ comprehension and achievement on
reading and makes understand about the content of the text. It can be said
that, identifying main ideas of paragraph is one of relationship between
sentences to another that may in reading.
2. Sainal, (2008) In thesis, The Application of shared Reading Strategy to
Increase Reading Comprehension of the Second Year Students of SMP
Aisyiyah Sungguminasa. He found that the result of his research showed
that ths second year students of SMP Sungguminasa had indequted in pre-
test. However after doing the treatment their reading comprehension got
high score in pre-test. The finding of this research showed that there was
significant with t-test 20.58 and table 2.045. It can be conclude that the
strategy is effective to increase the student’s achievement in
comprehending the reading material.

In conclusion that the student needs a good way to achieve goals in
reading and encourages students to make prediction while they are reading.
The DRTA process encourages students to be active and thoughtful readers,
enhancing their comprehension..
After explaining about these previous related research findings of the writers,
the researcher gives statement that in learning English particularly as foreign or
second language acquisition the teacher need more crucial factors and strategies to
increase students’ successful in learning. Especially in skill of teaching English literal
reading comprehension.
B. Some Pertinent Ideas
1. Definition of reading
Some defenitions of reading has been written by the former researchers are:
They are explained as follows:
Jeremy Harmer (1991: 190) states that reading is an exercise dominated by
the eyes and the brain. The eyes receive messages and the brain then has to work
out the significance of these messages. Simansuntak in Asrarwati (2009: 6) states
the reading is the process of putting the reader in contact and communication with
ideas. Reading is language process,reading is primary a cognitive process with
meansss that the brain do most of the work. Reading is also a skill that most be
developed and can only develop by means of an extensive and continual practice.
According to Rubin in Naely Muchtar (2005: 9) reading is getting of meaning
from the printed pages.
Nunan (1991: 72) writes that reading is usually conceived of as a solitary
activity in which the reader interacts with the text in isolation. Reading is a
10
transmitting of information process where the author tells all about ideas or
messages (Charles in Naely muchtar).
Hasniati in Safri Patahuddin (2008: 12) says that point out the reading is an
active process. The readers from a preliminary expectation about the material,
then select the fewest, most productive cues necessary to confirm to reject the
expectation. This is a sampling process in which reader takes adventages or his
knowledge of vocabulary, grammar, and discourse. Therefore, reading involves an
interaction between thought and language. It means that the readers bring to the
task of formidable amount of information and ideas, attitudes and beliefs.
According to Nunan (1989:33), reading is an active and interactive activity to
reproduce the word mentally and vocally and tries to understand the content of
reading text. It is important to bear in mind that reading is not an invariant skill,
that there are different types of reading skills, which correspond to the many
different purposes the writer has for reading,
Since reading is a complex process, Grabe (as cited in Ria) argues that
“many researchers attempt to understand and explain the fluent reading process by
analyzing the process into a set of component skills” (1991:379). and decided
some several points on reading:
1. Reading is a process, off course, as an active process.
2. The aim of reading is to comprehend what the students read.
3. When the readers or the students read the passages or the text, there was
an activity constructed between the reader and the text.
11
4. Reading activity is a time where the reader and the text are getting
isolation.
5. Reading material contain of ideas and messages that need to be taken
over or understood.
6. Reading is a complex action or situations that have to be learned or
organized.
7. Reading is a construction between eyes and the brain.
In students’ reading activities, the writer is sure that they have
many purposes, among others are to graduate from their school and to
provide themselves with the knowledge to continue their studies whatever
their ideas purposes are. In order to achieve the goal, the comprehension
ability in reading is needed. Taking into account over those definitions, it
can be concluded that reading is the ability to understand, knowing or
messages, and in the end to comprehend the written language or printed
information by reading to meet a focus of its thoughts. In addition, reading
is concerned mainly with learning to recognize the symbols on paper that
represent language and to respond mentally, intellectually and emotionally
when being asked about the content of the text they has read.
Based on the explanation above, reading includes not only
physical, but also mental activity. Reading is not only personality actions
but it refer to erect what the writer wishful to communicate, hence, someone
is considered to success in reading when he or she has an ability to
comprehend what the authors or writers convey.
12
2. Kinds of Reading
According to Dolores in Hasmariyanti (1979:2) there are three kinds of
reading namely: reading aloud, silent reading and speed reading.
1). Reading Aloud
Reading aloud is very important device. It cannot look in achievement or
the goals because it is a great aid in developing our habits to practice. In reading
aloud the students will get experience in producing sound that be practiced as
many times as possible.
2). Silent Reading
Silent reading is tends to reinforce the readers to find out the meaning of
the words. This kind of reading skill is to criticize what is written and to discuss
something. Written means to draw inference or conclusion as well as to express a
new idea on the basis of what is in reading.
3). Speed Reading
This kind of reading is used to increase speed and comprehension in
reading. This skill of speed reading must with the main purpose of reading that is
a comprehension. The rate of speed reading however, depends on the kinds of
reading text or material. The rate of speed reading of a story will be different than
read a scientific material. Kasha divide who read two groups, for children reading
is about develop vocabulary and brand new connection on addition section, for
adult reading is a mental exercise to know whole new thing, at the sometimes to
develop fine learning system in learning: emotional, social, cognitive physical and
reflective.
13
3. Reading Technique
Wood in Halima Tusadiyah (2007:11) indicated the types of reading are
important categories as follows:
1. Skimming
The eyes run quickly over the text to discover what is about the main idea
and the gist. Thus skimming occurs when the reader looks quickly at the contents
page of a book or at the chapter’s heading, subheadings etc. This is sometimes
called previewing. When the reader glances quickly through a newspaper to see
what the main items of the day are this will often mean just glancing at headlines.
What the reader goes through a particular passage such as newspaper article
merely to get the gist.
2. Scanning
The reader looks out for a particular item he believes in the text. The
scanning can be done to find name date and static or facts in a written text. The
eyes start quickly at the lines of a written.
3. Pre-Reading
Pre reading is a technique a reader uses before he begins to read the
material which will improve his comprehension. According to Mc. Whorter in
Rahmawati (2009:9) states that pre-reading involves looking only at those parts of
the reading material that will tell you what it is about or how it is organized.
Further he explains the portions to look at in reading a text book chapter are: (1)
Read the title (2) Read the interaction or opening paragraph (3) Read each bold
face heading (4) Nice any typographical aids (5)Notice any typographical aids (6)
Any graphs or pictures (7) Read the last paragraph or summary
14
The technique is effectives because it helps a reader to give basic
information about the organization and content of the article to the reader. Based
on the quotes above the researcher concludes that there are three types of reading
skill. Those are essential for the students to read a story or passage easily.
4. Reading principles
Jeremy Harmer (2007:153) divides into six reading principles. They are:
1. Encourage students to read as often and as much as possible. The more
students read the better. Everything we should do encourage them to read
extensively. It is a good idea to discuss this principle with students
2. Students need to be engaged with what they are reading. Outside normal
lesson time when students are reading extensively they should be involved
in joyful reading. The teacher should try to help them get as much pleasure
from it as possible. But during lesson too we will do our best to ensure that
the students are engaged with the topic of reading text and the activities
that they are asked to do while dealing with.
3. Encourage students to respond to the content of a text.
It is important for students to study reading text in class in order to find
out such things as student way to use language the number of paragraphs
they contained how many times they use relative clause. But the meaning,
the message of the text is just important as this. As a result we must give
students a chance to respond to that message in some way.
4. Prediction is major factor in reading.
15
When we read text in our own language, frequently have good ideas of the
contents before student actually start reading. Book covers give us a clue
what is in the book, photographs and headlines hint at articles are about we
can identify reports from their appearance before we read a single word.
5. Match the task to the topic when using intensive reading text.
Once a decision has been taken about what reading text the students are
going to read (based on the topic of the text). The teacher need to choose
good reading task the right kind of questions appropriate activities before
during and after reading and useful study exploitation. The most useful
and interesting text can be undermined by boring and inappropriate tasks.
6. Good teacher exploit reading text to the full.
Any reading text is full of sentences word ideas and description. Good
teachers integrate the reading text into interesting lesson sequences using
the topic for discussion and further tasks using the language for the study
and then activation, and using a range of activities to bring the text to life
5The Process in Reading.
According to Burns. (1984:12), there are eight processes in reading.
They are:
a. Sensory Process means perceives the printed symbol visually.
b. Perceptual Process means interpret what they see as symbols or words.
c. Sequential Process means follow the linear, logical, and grammatical
patterns of the written words.
16
d. Associational Process means recognize the connection between symbols and
sounds, between words and what they represent.
e. Experiential Process means relate words back to direct experiences to give
the words meaning.
f. Thinking Process means make inferences from and evaluate the material.
g. Learning Process means remember what they learned in the past and
incorporate new ideas and facts.
h. Affective Process means deals with interest and attitudes that affect the task
of reading.
C. Concept of Reading Comprehension
1. Definition of reading comprehension
The following are some definitions of reading comprehension which have
been proposed by some expert:
1. Ophelia (1989:205) assumed that reading comprehension means the
understanding, evaluating, utilizing of information and gaining through an
interaction between author and reader.
2. Kustarto (1988:5) stated that reading comprehension is a term to needed to
understand and apply information contained within material.
3. Pearson and Comperell (1981:60 ) in Alexander et al (1988:11-12) stated
that lack of comprehension from a given passage may be accounted for in
at least three way:
a. The reader does not have appropriate schemata.
b. The clues provided by the author are not sufficient to suggest the
appropriate schemata
17
c. The reader find a consistent interpretation that is not intended by the author
1. Good in Mc. Whorter (1993) defines that reading comprehension as an
interaction between thought and language.
2. Smith and Johnson (1980:128) assumed that reading comprehension
depend on many factors such as:
1. The reader’s ability to attend the printed idea.
2. The reader’s background knowledge to which new information must be
added.
3. The quality of lucidity writing itself
4. The reader’s purpose goal in reading text or material.
Based on the definition above the researcher has conclusion of reading
comprehension is level of understanding of a writing where in reading there are
interaction between the teacher and the students in the classroom. The students
can know the writer’s idea from the text that has read.
2. Categorizing Reading Comprehension
Comprehension involves thinking higher levels of comprehension would
obviously include higher of thinking. There are four categories of comprehension
according to Smith in Mansur (2002:13-14) they are:
1. Literal comprehension (reading in line)
Literal comprehension refers to the idea and facts that are directly stated on the
printed pages. The literal level of comprehension is fundamental to all reading
skill at any level because a reader must first understand what the writer said
before he can draw inference of make an evaluation. In other word this
category requires a lower level thinking skill than the others.
18
2. Interpretation (reading between the lines)
This category demands a higher level of thinking ability because the question
of interpretation are concerned with answer that are not directly stated in the
text but they are suggested or implied to answer question at the interpretive
level the reader must have ability and able to work at various levels of
abstraction. The interpretation level is the one at which the most confusion
exists. The confusion concerns the term inference. Inference may by defined as
something that is not directly stated but suggested in the statement a logical
conclusion that is drawn from the statements a dedication and induction.
3. Critical Reading (reading beyond lines)
Critical reading is higher than the other level of comprehension (literal and
interpretation level) because it involves evaluation personal judgment. In
addition, a reader must be able to collect, interpret, apply, analyze and
synthesize the information to criticize of merit for example in those part of the
material where the writer has expressed his ideas or his facts better perhaps
than other writer on some subjects.
4. Creative reading
Creative reading uses different thinking skill to go beyond the literal
comprehension, interpretation and critical-reading level. In creative reading,
the reader’s tries to come up with new or alternative solutions to these
presented by the writer.
19
3. The Process of Reading Comprehension
Davies and Whitney (1983: 11) states there are three vital process involved in
reading comprehension, as follows:
a. Previewing-scanning, searching, reading bits (heading, illusrations,
paragraph openers) and setting p some expectation.
b. Predicting: making guesses which are imformed these expectation,
knowledger of the subject, the writer, the type or time of writing, of the
lkely concepts, contents or conventions.
c. Checking: comfirmng, exchancing or extending predictions or pre-
knowledge by using feartures within the text or resources outside it.
The process above must be done onderly since its aim is to make the
students better guessers. Thework is directed as setting up situation where
students work closely as individals or together in teaching ot meaning, by gessing
immediate context, wider context, part of specch or part od words.
In connection with the reading activities, the process of the teaching
learning should be task-oriented; in the sense that the students have to do or
perform somethingbabed on the task given. Terefore the students in the learning
reading have to do exercises and activities that the teacher instructs them to do or
based on the instruction given in text selection.
4. Factors Influencing Reading Comprehension
There are external factors in reading comprehension. All of which share
the success in reading comprehension.
a. Motivation
20
Motivation is very important, the success and failure in reading depends
one’s motivation to read, when the students have high motivation to read they will
work hard to ever come the difficult material. One’s motivation could be
influenced by internal and external factors, such as the material used by the
teacher and prior knowledge.
b. Concentration
Concentration means to factors our attention clearly on a purpose.
Concentration is very easy to do if we are interested in what we read.
c. Teacher’s Guidance
Teacher guidance influences how the students understand particular
assignment because lack of sufficient guidance may also the major factor in low
reading comprehension.
d. The length and the difficulty of materials influence readers for reading.
e. Vocabulary acquisition and the ability form concepts are essential for
reading.
5. Developing Reading Comprehension
William (1983:96), there are five to developing reading skill that are
commonly know, they are:
a. Finding Main Ideas and Supporting Skill
The most valuable reading comprehension skill are the probably the
ability to determine the most importance thing in out her is saying. Read the
following paragraph to see if you can distinguish between essential and non-
essential information between the main idea and supporting details.
21
b. Skimming of specific information
It is not always necessary to read every word if passage. Your purpose
for reading something determines how closely you should read it. Once know
what your purpose is, skimming is valuable procedure. Skimming through a
passage involves reading very fast in order to reacquire main ideas and
supporting details while skipping (not reading) parts that are relevant to your
reading purpose.
c. Defining words from Context
As we probably know, the text way to improve your vocabulary is to
read as often and so much as possible, we sometimes learn award what we
don’t know by looking at it is need in a sentence that is, by looking at its
contexts.
d. Making inference
There are two basic kinds of reading comprehension, when you are
able to use the author’s words to answer a comprehension question; it is your
factual comprehension that is being tested. Sometimes however the information
is not directly stated, so we must infer a meaning using your own reasoning
and logic. This type of understanding is sometimes referred to as inferential
comprehension.
e. Understanding advertisement
Writers of advertising copy are amateur psychologist. They know just
what will appeal to our instincts and emotions. In general, they are major
areas in our nature at which advertising aims preservation, pride and
pleasure
22
D. Concept of Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA)
1. Defenition of Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA)
DR-TA is a technique developed by Russell Stauffer (1969). DR-TA
encourages students to make predictions while they are reading. After reading
segments of a text, students stop, confirm or revise previous predictions and
make new predictions about what they will read next.
The Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) is a comprehension
strategy that guides students in asking questions about a text, making
predictions, and then reading to confirm or refute their predictions. The DRTA
process encourages students to be active and thoughtful readers, enhancing
their comprehension.
“DRTA encourages students to make predictions while they are reading.
After reading segments of a text, students stop, confirm or revise previous
predictions and make new predictions about what they will read next” used to
make predictions judgments and for evidence verification. Allows the students
to read with a purpose; students read to confirm and revise predicts they made
or are making; students can use their own experiences to help comprehend the
text or the message of the author.(Conner, 2006).
The Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) is a produce teachers
use to scaffold and extend students’ thinking regarding their reading content.
The teacher guides students to :
a) Activates their prior knowledge for the topic/content of the text to
be read.
23
b) Hypothesize about what might be addressed in text
c) Establish purposes for reading the text.
The students reads through the text confirming, revising, and
rejecting hypotheses, Allen, J. (2004).
2. The purposes of The Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA)
According to Conner, 2006 in Bradley states that the purposes of
DRTA are follow:
a) Teacher can obtain the students prior knowledge of the
topic or the text.
b) Encourages students to monitor their comprehension while
they are reading.
c) Allows the students to set a purpose for reading. (students
read to confirm and revise predictions they they are
making)
d) To use the DRTA, teacher give students a text selection and
ask them to read the title, a few sampled lines of text and
e) Examine the pictures to develop hypotheses about the text.
f) Students generate hypotheses as they read from the text and
from their own experiential backgrounds.
g) Determine the purpose for reading
h) Use prediction when reading text
i) Make decisions based on readings.
24
3. The Application Of Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA)
Teacher should follow the steps below when creating a DRTA ,
Adlit.org. (2008), namely :
a) Determine the text to be used and pre-select points for students
to pause during the reading process.
b) Introduce the text, the purpose of the DRTA , and provide
examples of how to make predictions. Note: Be aware of the
reading levels of each students, and prepared to provide
appropriate questions prompts and support as needed.
c) Use the following outline to guide the procedure:
D= DIRECT. Teachers direct and activate students thinking prior to
reading a passage by scanning the title, chapter heading, illustrations and other
materials. Teacher should open-ended questions to direct students as they
make predictions about the content or perspective of the text.
R=READING. Students read up to the first pre-selected stopping point.
The teacher the prompts. The students with questions about specific
information and asks them to evaluate their predictions and refine them
necessary. This process should be continued until students have read each
section of the passage.
T=THINKING. At the end of each section, students go back through the
text and think about their predictions. Students should verify or modify their
predictions by finding supporting statements in the text. The teacher aks
questions such as:
25
o What do you think about your predictions now?
o What did you find in the text to prove your prediction?
o What did you read in the text made you change your predictions?
4. Steps in Using The Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA)
According to Allen,J. (2004) states that there are some steps are
doing in using DRTA, namely:
a) At the beginning of a new story, chapter, unit, or article have
students preview the text by reading the title, nothing picture,
graphs, illustrations, subtitles, and reading the introductory
paragraph included in the story or read the title and first
paragraph to the students.
b) Based on the information that students reviewed, ask the
students to make logical predictions about what they think will
happen in the text.
c) The students read to a place in the text that makes a logical stop
point.
d) When the students have completed reading to the logical stop
point, lead a conversation on the accuracy of their predictions.
After the discussion, have the students make new predictions
based on references in the text to defend their hypotheses.
e) Repeat the process until the students complete the text.
26
E. The Concept of Narrative Text.
1. Definition of narrative text
Narrative Text is one of teks (genre) yang biasa digunakan untuk menulis
dongeng atau cerita maupun kejadian diwaktu lampau yang mengandung
permasalahan (complication), yang mempunyai langkah-langkah retorika (generic
structure) yang terdiri dari: orientation, complication, resolution dan re-orientation
jika ada (optional).
The Generic Structure of Narrative Text
Orientation:
(Beginning or
introduction)
Introduces main characters, setting and time
The opening paragraph introduces characters / participants of the story and
sets the scene (it answers the questions who, when, what and where)
Complication:
(Middle)
The problem happens among the characters
It is about the problems which involve the main characters in the story
developed
Resolution:
(Ending)
The problem is dissolved
It is about how the problems in the story are solved (better or worse).
Here, the main characters find ways to solve the problems.
27
Language Feature Analysis
• Using saying verb; answered
• Using thinking verb; saw, was surprised to
• Using action verb; danced
• Using time conjunction; once, one day
• Using connectives; after, the next day
• Using past tense; there was a young girl named Cinderella, Cinderella
was having a wonderfully good time
Social Function of Narrative Texts
The purpose is to entertain, create, stimulate emotions, motivate, give and
teach readers.
A narrative text usually has a moral value.
A narrative text may include folktales, myths, legends, etc.
Grammar
Ciri kebahasaan (lexica grammatical) dalam teks naratif di antaranya yaitu:
Menggunakan Past Tense namun dapat pula dengan present tense.
Nouns phrases sebagai subject maupun object.
Content verbs bentuk lampau (past verbs) seperti, reigned, ordered,
cursed, turned, married, dsb.
Adjectives yang menerangkan keadaan kata benda di baliknya dan
membentuk noun phrases, misalnya, long black hair, two red apples, dsb.
Time sequenceconjunctions untuk mengurutkan kejadian-kejadian,
misalnya then, before that, after that, soon, when, finally, first, dsb.
28
Time expressions (ungkapan waktu) seperti once upon a time, long ago,
oneday, dsb.
2. Main Idea
The main idea is the most important idea of a paragraph. A main idea is often
stated in the first sentence of a paragraph. A main is what the paragraph is all
about. A paragraph is a group of sentences related to a particular topic, or central
theme. Every paragraph has a key concept or main idea. The main idea is the most
important piece of information the author wants’ you to know about the concept
of that paragraph. When authors write they have an idea in mind that they are
trying to get across. This is especially as authors compose paragraphs. An author
organizes each paragraph’s main idea and supporting details in support of the
topic or central theme, and each paragraph supports the paragraph preceding it.
A writer will stated his/ her main idea somewhere in the paragraph. So, the
main idea may be stated at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of the
paragraph.
the ways founded main idea, such as:
1. To identify a main idea that is directly expressed in the text.
a. Main ideas are often found at the beginning of paragraphs. The first
sentence often explains the subject being discussed in the passage.
b. Main ideas are also found in the concluding sentences osf a paragraph.
The main idea can be expressed as a summation of the information in
the paragraph as well a link to the information in the next paragraph.
29
2. The main idea is not always clearly stated. It is more difficult to identify a
main idea when it is inferred or implied. It can be implied through other
words in the paragraph. An implied main idea can be found in several ways.
a. Several sentences in a paragraph can imply the main idea by introducing
facts about the topic before actually stating the topic.
b. Implied ideas can be drawn from facts, reasons, or examples that give
hints or suggestions concerning the main idea in the selected text.
c. Try the passage below to see if you can pick out the main idea.
30
F. Conceptual Framework
The conceptual framework in this research were systematically below and
underlying the research is given the following diagram:
INPUT
INPUT
Reading materials
PROCESS
- Choose a text (can
be fiction or
expository)
- Activate the
students prior
knowledge
- Have students
make predictions
about what might
happen in the text
- Students will read
a section of the
text.
- Students should
then confirm or
revise their old
predictions and
make new
predictions before
reading more
- Continue steps 4
and 5 until the
student are done
reading.
Output
The students’ reading
comprehension
31
Based on the diagram above we can conclude that reading refers to the
material is going to read and DRTA teaching refers to the use of strategy in
teaching reading material. Refers to the process to getting of data from teaching
and learning process through DRTA teaching strategy and reading comprehension
refers to the students comprehend the text through literal comprehension to
increase the students reading comprehension refers to the students’ increase in
comprehend the reading material after using DRTA (Directed Reading Thinking
Activity )teaching strategy.
Zimelmant,G et,(2004) state reading means getting meaning from print.
Reading is not phonic, vocabulary, syllabication, or other “skill” as use full as
these activates may be . the essence if reading is a transaction between the words
of an author and the mind of reader, during which meaning constructed. The mean
that main goals of reading instruction must be comprehension: above all the
researcher want readers to understand what is on page.
DRTA encourages students to make predictions while they are reading.
After reading segments of a text, students stop, confirm or revise previous
predictions, and make new predictions about what they will read next.

35
G. Data Analysis
The data analysis in Pre-Experimental design from the test was to analyzed
with:
To analysis the data, the researcher employed the formula as follows:
1. Scoring the students’ correct answer of pre-test and post-test by using
formula
Score
2. Calculating the mean score of the students’ pre-test and post-test:
𝑋
Where:
X = The means score
∑X = The sum of all score
N = The total number of subjects
(Gay, in Harisman 1981:223)
3. After tabulating and analyze the data, the research classified the score into
seven categories standard of evaluating as follows:
Table 1
(Depdikbud 1985: 6)
No. Score Classification

5. 5.6 – 6.5 Fairly
6. 3.6 – 5.5 Poor
7. 0 – 3.5 Very poor
Total
36
4. To find out of the students’ frequency and rate percentage the formula
follows:
P =
x 100%
Meanings:
P = The students’ percentage
fq = The number of correct answer/frequency
N = The total number of students
(Gay, in Harisman 1985)
5. Calculating the value of test to indicate the significance between the mean
of pre- and post-test, the research formulated the following formula:
√ ( )
( )
Meanings:
t = Test of significance
D = The means score difference
∑D = The sum of total score different
∑ 2 = The square of total score difference
1 = Constant number
N = The total of students
(Gay, in Harisman 1981: 331)
6. Finding out the students standard deviation by using formula:
√
( )
Meanings:

students. There was 1 students (3.12%) got excellent score, 11 students (43.37)
got very good score, 10 students (31.75%) got good score, 8 students ( 25%) got
42
fairly good score , 2 students ( 6.25%) got fair, and none students got poor score
and very poor score.
Based on the table 3 and 5, can be conclude that the rate percentage in
post-test was greater than the rate percentage in pre-test. It is more clearly shown
in the graphic below:
Diagram 2: The rate percentage of score in pre-test and post-test
3. The Mean Score and Standard Deviation in pre-test and posttest
After calculating the result of the students score, the mean score and standard
deviation of class be presented in the following table :
Table 6: the mean score and standard deviation in pre-test and
Posttest
Class Mean Score Standard Deviation
Pre-test 7.55 0.336
posttest 8.96 0.540
The Table 6 above shows that, the mean score of in pre-test was (7.55) and
the standard deviation in pre-test was (0.336), while the mean score in posttest

was (8.96) and its standard deviation was (0.540). It means that, the mean score of
Pre-test was lower than mean score posttest.
The significant score between pre-test and posttest can be known by using t-
test. The result of t-test can be seen in table 7 as follows:
Table 7: Distribution the value of t-test and t-table in posttest
Variable t-test value t-table value
postest 9.72 2.0395
The Table 7 above shows that t-test value was great than t-table. Because
after giving treatment the students at SMK NEG 6 Kab.Jenepeonto, the researcher
find significant increase reading comprehension. The result of the test shows there
was significant difference between t-test and t-table in posttest (9.72<2.0395), it
means that, t-test was higher than t-table.
The result of the t-test statistical analysis shows that there is significant
difference between the pre-test who get treatment through with posttest who get
treatment by verbal explanation, eventhough different both of them is not enough
high. The statement is proved by the t-test value in posttest ( 9.72 ) which higher
than t-table value (2.0395), at the lavel of significance 0.05 and the degree of
freedom N - 1= 32 -1= 31

before giving to the student’s treatment.
The students were interest in learning reading by using Directed Reading
Thinking Activity( DRTA) strategy as shown on the table. Base on the result of t-
test, the researcher found that there is a significant difference between the results
of pre-test and post-test. It means that there is a significant difference result of the
pre-test before and after teaching and learning process by using Directed Reading
Thinking Activity( DRTA) strategy Because learned by using an interesting
strategy that could enlarge their new experience and knowledge. Relating to the
data collected through the pre-test and post-test, it is show the student’s reading
comprehension SMK NEG.6 Kab.Jeneponto is good. The mean score in pre-test
was (7.55) and the standard deviation in pre-test was (0.336), while the mean
score in post-test was (8.96) and its standard deviation was (0.540). It means that
the mean score of posttest is lower than mean score of pre-test.
It is support by the frequency and the rate percentage of the result of the
student’s score of pre-test and post-test. The students’ score after presenting in
teaching reading by using Directed Reading Thinking Activity( DRTA) strategy
strategy was better than before the treatment was given to the students. The result
of the test show there is significance different between t-table and t-test
(2.0395<9.72), that t-table was lower than t-test.
It means that the researches indicate that generally the students is very
interesting in the material that the researches present and have a good ability in
47
reading comprehension. In other word, the application of Directed Reading
Thinking Activity( DRTA) strategy strategy is effective in teaching literal reading
comprehension. This line with the students’ was increasing score of pre-test and
post-test. Finally, the researchers conclude that the use directed reading thinking
activity (DRTA) strategy was effective to increase the students’ in literal reading
comprehension.

Once, when a lion was as sleep, a little mouse began running up and down
upon him; this soon awakened the lion, which placed his huge paw upon him, and
opened his big jaws to swallow him. “Pardon, O king, “cried the little mouse,
“Forgive me this time, I shall never forget it; who knows but what I may be able
to do you a turn some of these days?”
The lion was so tickled at the idea of the mouse being able to help me that
he lifted up his paw and let him go.
Sometime after, the lion was caught in a trap and the hunters, who desired
to carry him alive to the king, tied him to a tree while they went in search of a
wagon to carry him on.
Just then the little mouse happened to pass by and see the sad plight in
which the lion was. He when up to the lion and soon gnawed away the ropes that
bound the king of the beasts. “Wasn’t I right?”, said the little mouse.

3. NARRATIVE TEXT
Narrative Text adalah salah satu jenis teks (genre) yang biasa digunakan
untuk menulis dongeng atau cerita maupun kejadian diwaktu lampau yang
mengandung permasalahan (complication), yang mempunyai langkah-langkah
retorika (generic structure) yang terdiri dari: orientation, complication, resolution
dan re-orientation jika ada (optional).
The Generic Structure of Narrative Text
Orientation:
(Beginning or
introduction)
Introduces main characters, setting and time
The opening paragraph introduces characters / participants of the story and
sets the scene (it answers the questions who, when, what and where)
Complication:
(Middle)
The problem happens among the characters
It is about the problems which involve the main characters in the story
developed
Resolution:
(Ending)
The problem is dissolved
It is about how the problems in the story are solved (better or worse).
Here, the main characters find ways to solve the problems.
Example of narrative text
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with
her step mother and two step sisters in a beautiful village. The step mother and
sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very badly. Her
56
step mother made Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing
the floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family.
The two step sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house.
Their mother gave them many handsome dresses to wear.
One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king’s
son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so
much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came,
and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying after they had
left.
“Why are crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy
godmother standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to the ball” said
Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother,”you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking,
uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”.
Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and
mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged
dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a
pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now, Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave before
midnight”. Then aay she drove in her beautiful coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and
again with the king’s son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran
toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was
left behind.
A few days later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl
whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was
too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end,
the king’s page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot and the
page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.
Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see
her again. They were married and live happily ever after.

Narrative text
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her
step mother and two step sisters in a beautiful village. The step mother and sisters
were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very badly. Her step
mother made Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the
floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family.
The two step sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house.
Their mother gave them many handsome dresses to wear.
One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king’s
son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so
much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came,
and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying after they had
left.
“Why are crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy
godmother standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to the ball” said
Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother,”you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking,
uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”.
Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and
mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged
dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a
pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now, Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave before
midnight”. Then aay she drove in her beautiful coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and
again with the king’s son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran
toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was
left behind.
A few days later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the girl
whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was
61
too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end,
the king’s page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot and the
page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.
Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see
her again. They were married and live happily ever after.

(The Legend of Prambanan Temple)
70
Once, there was a beautiful Javanese princess whose name was
RoroJonggrang. RoroJonggrang whose beauty was very famous in the land was
the daughter of PrabuBaka, an evil king.
One day, a handsome young man with super natural power, named
Bandung Bondowoso, defeated and killed PrabuBaka. On seeing Princess
RoroJonggrang’s beauty, Bandung Bondowoso fell in love and wanted to marry
her.
Meanwhile, Princess RoroJonggrang felt sad due to the death of her
father. She did not want to marry Bandung because he had killed her father. But
she was also afraid of Bandung. So to refuse politely, she made a condition. “I
will marry you but you have to build one thousand temples in one night as a
wedding gift.” requested RoroJonggrang. Bandung agreed with this condition.
Helped by the spirit of demons, Bandung Bondowoso started building the
temples. Approaching midnight, the work was nearly done. RoroJonggrangknes
and thought, “What shall I do? Bandung is smarter than me. I will lose against
Bandung.”
Suddenly she got an idea. She woke up all the women in the palace and
ordered them to make the noisy sounds of grinding rice so that the roosters would
think it had already dawn.
Bandung Bondowoso got frustrated because he failed to complete the
thousandth temple. “The princess has deceived me!” Following his anger, he
cursed RoroJonggrang, “You have cheated me. Now, the thousandth temple is
you!”
At once, the princess turned into a statue. Knowing this, Bandung
Bondowoso regretted this and he went away into a farm land. From then, people
called the temple Prambanan Temple and the princess statue, RoroJonggrang
statue.

Bandung Bondowoso and Roro Jonggrang
(The Legend of Prambanan Temple)
Once, there was a beautiful Javanese princess whose name was
RoroJonggrang. RoroJonggrang whose beauty was very famous in the land was
the daughter of PrabuBaka, an evil king.
One day, a handsome young man with super natural power, named
Bandung Bondowoso, defeated and killed PrabuBaka. On seeing Princess
RoroJonggrang’s beauty, Bandung Bondowoso fell in love and wanted to marry
her.
Meanwhile, Princess RoroJonggrang felt sad due to the death of her
father. She did not want to marry Bandung because he had killed her father. But
she was also afraid of Bandung. So to refuse politely, she made a condition. “I
will marry you but you have to build one thousand temples in one night as a
wedding gift.” requested RoroJonggrang. Bandung agreed with this condition.
Helped by the spirit of demons, Bandung Bondowoso started building the
temples. Approaching midnight, the work was nearly done. RoroJonggrangknes
and thought, “What shall I do? Bandung is smarter than me. I will lose against
Bandung.”
Suddenly she got an idea. She woke up all the women in the palace and
ordered them to make the noisy sounds of grinding rice so that the roosters would
think it had already dawn.
Bandung Bondowoso got frustrated because he failed to complete the
thousandth temple. “The princess has deceived me!” Following his anger, he
cursed RoroJonggrang, “You have cheated me. Now, the thousandth temple is
you!”
At once, the princess turned into a statue. Knowing this, Bandung
Bondowoso regretted this and he went away into a farm land. From then, people
called the temple Prambanan Temple and the princess statue, RoroJonggrang
statue.
