This research is aimed to know the students’ ability and their perceptions toward the difficulties in comprehending analytical exposition text in different levels of questions which based on Barret’s taxonomy of reading comprehension. This research was conducted at SMA Negeri 2 Batusangkar. The population of this research are all second year students in academic year 2019/2020 with the total number 244 students. Based on the population, the sample of this research is 37 students selected using simple random sampling. This research is descriptive quantitative research and used test and questionnaire as the instruments. This research found that the students’ ability in comprehending different level of questions in analytical exposition text was fair because the average score of students was 51,24. The students have good ability in comprehending analytical exposition questions in form of evaluation level. This research also found that students tend to have difficulties in comprehending analytical exposition text in form of inference level.

This Research & Development (R&D) aims at developing materials in the form of a coursebook prototype for the tenth-grade students of senior high schools in Indonesia. Teacher interviews and students questionnaire were used to assess the users’ needs. The data revealed that the existing materials are not relevant to the students’ needs majored in studying Math and Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics). So there is a need for developing new materials by orienting to quality CLIL materials principles and task-based approach. In general, based on the validation checklists, the materials were considered reliable by the English teachers, the EFL material and language expert and the media expert. The final product was also considered acceptable by the students and teachers based on the questionnaires distributed after the limited-field tryout. The study resulted in three main products: Student Book, Teacher’s Guide, and Listening Audio CD.

The research presents about the effect of total physical response technique toward the students’ speaking ability at the first grade of SMA Negeri 2 Kolaka. It was based on the research question” Is there any effect of total physical response technique toward the students’ speaking ability at the first grade students at SMA Negeri 2 Kolaka?’. The objective of this research was find out the data and information whether there is an effect of total physical response technique toward the students’ speaking ability at the first grade of SMA Negeri 2 Kolaka. The design of this research was pre-experimental design which one group pretest and posttest design. The subject of this research was class X3 of SMA Negeri 2 Kolaka consisted 22 students based on purposive sampling. The research consist of two variable, they are independent variable and dependent variable. The independent variable was Total Physical Response while the dependent variable was the students’ speaking ability. The instrument of the research was oral test which is recommended by Ur (1996). The data were analyzed by using inferential and descriptive statistic. The inferential statistic was used to examine the hypothesis, while the descriptive statistics was used to describe the students’ characteristics score such as mean score, frequency, minimun and maximun score in both pretest and posttest session. Based on findings in this research, it can be confirmed that the students’ mean score of post-test (3,9) is higher than pre-test (2,25). Standar deviation of post-test (0,541 ) was smaller than the the standard deviation of pre-test (0,668), and the value of tcount (11,2) was bigger than ttable (2,080) at the significant level 0,05 and degree of freedom = 21, it means that H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. It can be concluded that there is an effect of total physical response technique toward the students’ speaking ability at the first grade of SMA Negeri 2 Kolaka.
本研究旨在探讨全身体反应技巧对小学一年级学生口语能力的影响。本研究基于“全身体反应技术对SMA Negeri 2 Kolaka小学一年级学生的口语能力是否有影响”这一研究问题。本研究的目的是了解全身体反应技术是否对SMA Negeri 2 Kolaka小学一年级学生的口语能力有影响。本研究采用实验前设计，分为前测和后测两组。本研究的对象是SMA Negeri 2 Kolaka的X3班，共有22名学生。本研究包含两个变量，即自变量和因变量。自变量为总身体反应，因变量为学生口语能力。研究的工具是Ur(1996)推荐的口头测试。采用推理统计和描述统计对数据进行分析。采用推理统计来检验假设，采用描述性统计来描述学生在测试前和测试后的平均得分、频率、最低分和最高分等特征得分。根据本研究的结果，可以证实学生的测试后平均得分(3,9)高于测试前平均得分(2,25)。后验标准差(0.541)小于前验标准差(0.668)，且在显著性水平0.05、自由度= 21下，tcount(11,2)的值大于表值(2080)，说明H0被拒绝，H1被接受。结果表明，全身体反应技术对小学一年级学生的口语能力有一定的影响。

The aim of this research was to find out the correlation between the students’ vocabulary mastery and the students’ reading comprehension at the second Grade of SMPN 1Kolaka. The population of this research was all the second grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Kolaka which consist of 206 students. The sample of this research is 26 students, it is class VIII B. The instruments in this research were two kinds of test, they were vocabulary test and reading comprehension test, each test consisted of 20 multiple choice. All the data gained in this research was analyzed by using the formulation of Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. According to the result of the analysis and statistical calculate, it found that rxy was 0.705 and rt was 0.404 with the degree of freedom (df=N-nr) was 24. By comparing the values of rxy and rt, the result was rxy was bigger than rt, in other words rcount was higher than r table. It means that there was correlation between students’ vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension and coefficient correlation was high, in this case the alternative hypothesis is accepted.Based on the finding from this research, it could be concluded that vocabulary mastery helps the students to comprehend the text. To solve the problem in comprehending the text in which students should have sufficient vocabulary that can help them in doing their in reading test.
