Abstract
The research is aimed to improve the reading comprehension of the seventhgrade students of SMP Negeri 2 Bantul in the academic year of 2012/2013 by using authentic materials. Action research was used as the research method in this research. The subjects of the research were the English teacher and the principal. The instruments used in this research were an audiotape recorder, interview guides, a camera and observation sheet. The research was conducted in two cycles. There were five problems to be solved based on the urgency level and the feasibility to solve. They were teacher’s limited use of authentic materials, boring classroom activities, students’ limited vocabulary, and noisy students. Four general actions, then, were implemented in each cycle and observed to gain the data. Short functional texts of zodiacs and pamhphlets, procedure texts of how to make alphabet origami, recipe and descriptive text of chimpanzees and Orang Utan and Tugu Jogja were used. The ways the materials used were in the forms of scanning the texts, doing the instruction based on the procedure texts, comparing physical description from two different types of descriptive texts, and finding students’ zodiacs. The research data were in the forms of field notes, interview transcript, and photographs. The data were validated by using dialogic validity in which the results of the research were peer reviewed by the researcher and the English teacher. In the first cycle, the actions were successfully done except ones dealing with the classroom management and the time allocation. By improving the unsuccessful actions, the results of the implementation of the four actions in the second cycle were satisfactory to reach the objectives of the research. The authentic materials and various reading activities were effective to promote the students’ interest to do the reading activities. The good classroom management also played important roles to improve reading comprehension. The indicators of the success were that the students were more interested to do the reading activities using authentic materials that the situation in which every student got involved in every reading activity created the learner-centeredness.
