Abstract

Key Word: Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR), Reading Comprehension
Reading is one of the skills that English learners need to acquire, while reading
comprehension is a crucial skill that may influence their learning outcome for their
language development. While various studies have examined students‟ reading
comprehension, few findings were noted on the effect of Collaborative Strategic
Reading (CSR) on EFL reading comprehension. Specifically, those studies did not address the Indonesian EFL context. Also, it still found difficulties for learners to understand the meaning of the text, find the main idea and specific information from the text, and a lack of understanding of grammatical features and text structure. Thus,this study aims to investigate the effect of CSR on reading comprehension among junior high school students.
This research was conducted in one of junior high schools in Jember, East Java, to investigate "Do students taught using Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) have
better reading comprehension than students taught without CSR?". This research aims
to measure the effect of collaborative strategic reading (CSR) on helping students have better reading comprehension.
The research method was a quantitative quasi-experimental design (non-equivalent control group design). This model consists of an experimental and a control group. The population in this research was the second grade students, which consists of 276 students. The researcher used purposive sampling techniques to select
the sample for this research. The teacher selected two classes as the sample: the
experimental class with 32 students and the control class with 31 students. The data collection technique used tests, which are pre-test and post-test. Then, for the hypothesis testing, the data was analyzed using the T-test formula.
The result of this research showed the hypothesis testing score was 0.001 <0.05. It can be concluded that Ha was accepted and H0 was rejected. It indicates, the students taught by using Collaborative Strategic Reading have better reading comprehension.
