Abstract
The objective of this research is to improve the teaching and learning process of reading at VIII D Class of SMPN 1 Pajangan through task-based approach. This research is an action research study. The subjects of this research were 36 students of class VIII D of SMPN 1 Pajangan. The data were obtained through observations and interviews with the students and the collaborators. The data were in the forms of field notes and interview transcripts. In support to the qualitative data, the quantitative data were obtained from the pre-test and the post-test. In addition, this research applied the investigator triangulation, the theoretical triangulation and the time triangulation. The actions implemented in this research were discussing new vocabulary items and guessing meaning from context, applying skimming and scanning strategies, discussing grammar related to the text, conducting a question/answer game, providing various materials from different sources, and applying group/pair work. The tasks used in the teaching and learning process of reading by applying task-based approach were task series, ordering task and listing task. The results of the research show that the students‟ motivation increased. They were more enthusiastic in learning reading. Moreover, the students were interested in various materials presented by the teacher. They could get involved actively in the reading learning process. In addition, the classroom interaction also increased. The students could interact very well with other students, the teacher and the materials during the teaching and learning process of reading. Those results show that the use of task-based approach with its accompanying actions is effective to improve the teaching and learning process of reading. Furthermore, the result of this research also shows that the improvement on the teaching and learning process affects the improvement on the students‟ reading comprehension ability. The students‟ reading comprehension ability was measured quantitatively by comparing the mean score of pre-test and post-test. The mean score of the students‟ reading comprehension test increases from 52.03 in the pre-test to 67.56 in the post-test. The increase of the students‟ reading comprehension ability is 15.53.
