The Use Of Parter Teaching Learning Strategy In Student's Reading

Comprehension, Study In SMA N 1 Keruak At Grade 7

CHAPTER 1

1.1 Introduction

English as an international languahe is very important thing that we meed to

letan. Nowdays English has spread to all of aspect of our social life, start from
politics, economics, entertainments, etc. Therefore in Indonesia, we learn English
starting from Elementary school and reading is the most lesson that we have to
be done. Because reading is one of the crucial skill that will impact to many
things . Through reading we can develop new ideas, develop our experience, solve
our problem, even develop our charater. But in fact most of student in Indonesia
fail to comprehend an English text. According to Fajri(2019): Factors that affecting
sudent reading comprehensions related with student's habit, interest, vocabulary
mastery, and technique.

According to snow (2002:11): defines reading comprehensions as the process of

simultaneously extracting and constructing meaning through interaction and
involvment with written language. It shows how complex is reading
comprehension. It not just a reading activity but reading comprehension is about
how do we get the meaning from the text. So, it necessary for student to develop
their vocabulary in order to deal with the unfamiliar word that can be encunter
them to understand the point of an english text.
The alternative way to solve the student't problem in reading comprehension is
the answer about how do we make them feel fun and comfortable when doing
reading. Of course the answer of the question related to method and strategy in
learning. As we know that there are many types of method and strategy in
learning, for example Cooperative Learning, Problem Base Learning, Cntextual
Teaching and Learning etc. In this case we can adopt some strategy in learning
then mix them in order to get a method that can make student feel intrested. So,
in this paper the author suggest teacher to make a partner for student so that
student will more confortable and fun. Because they have someone to share
problems and they have someone to share ideas.

According to Melanie (2008:45), partner reading is another fun and effective

pedagogical strategy for promoting the development of reading skill. The
implemantation of this method recquire students to work in pairs. Stahl,
Heubach, & Crammond in Meisingier (2004) highlight that in partner reading,
children are paired together for the purpose of supporting each other through
oral reading of the connected text. Student pair randomly so that they will meet
with someone that have different abilities and they can complete each other.
Based on this background the author will do a research entitled "The use of
Partner Teaching Learning Strategy in Students' Reading Comprehension Study in
SMAN 1 Keruak At Grade 7"

 CHAPTER 2

2.1 Theoritical Framework

A. Reading Comprehension

1. What is Reading?

According to (Tarigan (1990:7) in Jaenal 2010) argues that reading is a process

that is carried and used by readers who want to get the message delivered by the
author through the medium of words or written language.According to Day and
Bamford (1998:12) reading is the construction of meaning from a printed or
written message. It means the construction of meaning involves the reader
connecting information from the written message with previous knowledge to
arrive at meaning and understanding.According to Cline et.al (2006: 2), states that
reading is decoding and understanding written texts. Decoding requires
translating the symbols of writing system (including Braille) into the spoken words
which they represent. Understanding is determined by the purposes for reading,
the context, the nature of the text, and the readers’ strategies and knowledge.
Reading is all about how do we get the informations, the messages, now
knowledges, or anything that implied or written in a written text.
According to Wood in Rahmah (2012:9) indicate the types of reading are
important categories as follow

a. Skimming

Skimming a types of reading that try to discover the main point of text quickly. So,
we will read quickly in the part where is the location of the main point in generally

b. Scanning

This type of reading have a similar method with the previous types that require
reader read quickly. But in this types the reader will search quickly the main point
by a key point, it can be names, words, dates, statics, statements, etc that he
believes that can be related or have relation with the main point.

c. Intensive Reading

This types reading require the reader to read a text intensively. So, the reader will
ready slowly.

2. What is Compreheneion?

According to Anderson and Person, in Alexander, (1998:160) states that

compreheneion is a special thinking process. The readers comprehend by actively
constructing meaning in internally from intresting with the material that is read.
In generally comprehension is a simple word but have a complex meaning.
Comprehension not just about understanding a word but further it must contain a
creation, a new simple understanding sentence or paragraph that have inclide all
of the text. That's why comprehension is a special thinking process

3. What is Reading Comprehension?

According to Rainiking amd Scenary in Dirham (2011:18) defines reading
comprehension as an understanding about what we have been read. Further
Smith and Robinson, in Dirham (2011:10) states that reading comprehension
means that understanding, evaluating and utilizing, the information and ideas
through and interaction between and author and reader in which the written
language becomes through the medium of print. So, the point about reading
comprehension is an active action of rader to get the main point of what really
author wants to tell. It is like the author make a dialogue with the readers in a
complex way in order to show all of his feelings or his minded about anything so
the reader must follow it and create a new simple sentence that will include all of
the author's mean so that it shows how understanding a reader about the subject
about the dialogue. Of course this action not just about reading activity it is
require our experience and knowledge and results we will gain new experience
and new knowledge which is means we make a development for ourselves in
many aspect of our won life.

B. Partner Reading Strategy

Patterned Partner Reading promotes strategy reading and provides a structure for
reading interaftivly with a partner (Melauglin and Allen:2002). This strategy
involve student's collaboration in their point of view or thier understanding about
a text. We know that everyone have their personal experience, thinking, ideas
about anything especially a main point of a text, so that they will give feedback to
each other and they will find out the weakness of their sentence. In the end they
will combine their sentence to make a new perfect sentence.
C. The relationship between Reading Comprehension and Partner Reading
Strategy?

As we know from the previous explanation Reading Comprehension is an activity

for reader to got the purpose that author going to tell while Partner Readinng
Strategy is a methode that can be used for reader to get the purpose of the
author. So, Reading Comprehension and Partner Reading Strategy is one way or
an alternative way for reader to know the main point of author more fun and
effectively because the reader will not just reading alone but he has a partner to
share ideas, to give feedback, to consult, etc. With this statement we can say that
Reading Comprehension and Partner Reading Strategy is a perfect combination
for readers or in this case student to make reading activity more interesting or
can be stimulte student to love reading.

2.2 Previous Related Research Study

Accrording to Yanti Kristina Sinaga, Herman and Putri Laura Siahaan (2020:4) in
