Abstract:
This research deals with the effect of using generating interaction between
schemata and text (GIST) strategy on students’ ability in reading recount text. The
objective of the study was to investigate whether Generating Interaction Between
Schemata and Text Strategy significantly effect the students’ reading
achievement. The population of this research was the first year students of MA
Annajah Syekh Silau, in academic year 2016/2017. The total of population was 60
students and the researcher was took 60 students as the sample. This study was
conducted by using an experimental research design. The experimental group was
given treatment by using Generating Interaction Between Schemata and Text
(GIST) Strategy. The instrument of the research was a multiple choise test. The
test given to the students aimed to collect the data supporting the students’
mastery in reading. The t-test formula was implimentated to find out the tobserved
value
of
both
groups
as
the
basis
to
test
hypothesis
of
this
research.
The
result
of
this
research
showed
that
the
t-observedvalue
was
greater
than
the
t-table
in
which
tobs
was
3.48
and
ttable
2.042.
It
shows
that

>
ttable
(3.48
>

It

that
