Reading comprehension is understanding what has been read rather than

this happened at SMA Unggulan BPPT Darus Sholah, especially for Xd students.
The Xd students at SMA Unggulan BPPT Darus Sholah Jember need help
knowing the meaning and the intent of the reading text; most of the students in
class Xd were still confused and could not comprehend the reading text; they had
to discuss with their friends about what the content of the reading text. Meanwhile,
the Round Table Technique is an effective way to make students comprehend the
reading text because, in Roundtable, students can know the content of the reading
text by sharing their understanding of the meaning of vocabulary with their
friends. After discussing with the English teacher, the researcher and the English
teacher agreed to use the Roundtable technique. Moreover, the teacher has yet to
use the Roundtable technique.
The research questions in this research were, “How the Roundtable technique
could improve students‟ reading comprehension of the Xd students of SMA

describe how the Roundtable technique could improve students‟ reading
comprehension of the Xd students of SMA Unggulan BPPT Darus Sholah Jember.

the researcher used the students‟ reading comprehension test, interview, and
observation. The criteria of success in this research were if the students reach the
minimum score (75) equal to or higher than 75% of the total students.
After implementing the Roundtable technique, the students‟ reading
comprehension has improved; it can be shown that the number of students
declared to have achieved a passing grade was 76% from 62% before
implemented , with an average score was 75,04 from 71,57 the average score
