This research was aimed at improving students’ ability in reading comprehension through semantic mapping for Grade VII E of SMP Negeri 1 Jetis Bantul Yogyakarta in the academic year of 2013/2014. This research was categorized as action research. The actions were implemented in two cycles based on the class schedule. The researcher worked collaboratively with the English teacher, the students, and the collaborator. The subjects of the research were 30 students of class VII E of SMP Negeri 1 Jetis Bantul Yogyakarta in the academic year of 2013/2014. The data of the study were in the form of qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data were obtained by observing the teaching and learning process, and interviewing the students, the English teacher and the collaborator. The data were in the form of field notes, interview transcripts and photographs. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were acquired by conducting the pre-test and the post-test of Cycle I and Cycle II. The validity of the data was obtained by applying democratic validity, dialogic validity, catalytic validity, process validity and outcome validity. The research findings showed that the use of semantic mapping in teaching reading comprehension was able to improve the students’ ability. It included their abilities in relating their prior knowledge with new information and associating the supporting details with the main idea. Besides, teaching reading comprehension using semantic mapping could attract students to read texts. The students became more enthusiastic in reading texts after semantic mapping was applied in the class. Based on the quantitative data, the students’ mean score obtained in the pre-test was 63.00. It increased to 74.73 in the post-test of Cycle I and reached 81.93 in the post-test of Cycle II. It means that the average score in the final post-test increased by 18.9333 from the average score in the pretest. According to the t statistic, the score difference is significant at p < 0.05.
