Abstract:
This study deals with the effect of applying anticipation-reaction guide
strategy on students’ reading comprehension. It was conducted by using
experimental research design. The population of this study was the tenth (X)
grade students of SMK Negeri 9 Medan with one parallel class. The samples
of the study were one class divided into one group, experimental group which
were chosen by using cluster random sampling. Thirty-two students were taken
as the samples. The experimental group was taught by Applying
Anticipation-Reaction Guide Strategy. The instrument for collecting the data
was a multiple choice test. The data of this study were taken from the students’
score of reading test. They were pre-test and post-test. Then, after analyzing the
data, it was found that the value of tobserved was 7,28 with the degree of freedom
(df)=30 at the level of significance p(0.05) = 2.04. It means that tobserved is
higher than ttable (7,28 > 2.04). The result of this study shows that AnticipationReaction
Guide
Strategy
has
a
significant
effect
on
students’
reading
comprehension. It means that the hypothesis is accepted. And the percentage of
the effect of Anticipation-Reaction Guide strategy to the students’ reading
comprehension was 64% and 36% from the other factors
