Improving Students Reading Comprehension Of Procedure Text By Using Demonstration Method At Grade X IPA 1 SMAN 1 Candung
Abstract
The research was done to improve students’ reading comprehension in procedure text by using demonstration method. Moreover, the aim of this study was to find out whether the using of demonstration method was able to increased students learning result of procedure text material at grade X IPA 1. The research was a collaborative classroom action research. In this study not only teacher what act as instructors. Thic class action research was divided into 2 cycles that refer to the class action research procedures was planning, implementation, observation and reflection.
