Key words: Accelerated Learning Technique. Reading
Comprehension
Reading is a way to comprehend the text. It means that
students can find information by reading the text well, if students have good
reading comprehension ability. As the fact the students were confused to
understand the meaning of words in the
text. So, they could not finish all their tasks. Most of them were not actively
involved in the learning process, since
most of them learned English less seriously and the atmosphere of the
class was boring.
Some
English teacher still use the traditional setting or technique
and it makes students are not active and enjoy in learning process.
To make students
enjoy in learning reading especially for narrative text, one of technique
which can be implementation is accelerated
learning technique. The step of accelerated learning are: Motivating the mind, Acquiring
the informations, Searching out the
meaning, Triggering the memory, Exhibit what you know, Reflecting how have you learn.
This study is an
experimental research method. The subject of the study was 29 students of the eighth
grade students of SMPN
1
Kertajati – Majalengka in academic year 2013/2014. The research instruments are checklist observation and
test. They
were given two tests, they are pretest (before the
treatment)
and posttest (after the treatment). The treatment conducted
in two
meetings. The students were given the treatment by the implementation of
accelerated learning technique to improve reading comprehension.
The writer used a quantitative measurement to find the
result.
The result of the pretest was 55,86
and the posttest was 73,79. The result of
the study shows that the posttest better than the pretest. From the calculation
of applying the t-test, the mean different between pretest and posttest showed
that the t-value (5,31)
was higher than the t-table (2,76). It means that there is a significance
difference in the students’ reading
comprehension
before and after the implementation of
accelerated learning technique.
Based on the
data analysis, the writer concludes that the students’ reading comprehension by implementation of
accelerated learning technique is effective for the eighth
