Abstract
This research was aimed at improving the students’ comprehension ability by using authentic materials in Class VIII D of MTS N Ngemplak in the second semester. The study was action research. The research was done in two cycles with three meetings in each cycle. The participants of the research were the researcher, the English teacher, and 31 students in Class VIII D of MTS N Ngemplak. There were two types of data in this research, qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data were obtained from the observation during the teaching and learning process, the interview with the English teacher and the students. The data were in the form of field notes and interview transcripts. The quantitative data were obtained from the reading comprehension pre-test and post-test scores. There were five validity criteria in this research. They were democratic, outcome, process, catalytic, and dialogic validity. The research was conducted systematically following the four procedures of action research. They were reconnaissance, planning, action and observation, and reflection. The students were able to recognize new words, understand the words’ meaning, and comprehend the texts. Moreover, the use of authentic materials improved the students’ motivation and participation. Most of the students were able to overcome their own difficulties related to the difficult words. The result of the research showed that the implementation of authentic materials improved the students’ reading comprehension as shown from the progress of the mean value of the students’ pre-test and post-test scores. The mean value of their pre-test scores was 65,6 while the mean value of post-test scores was 74,73. This achievement proved that using authentic materials could improve the students’ reading comprehension ability.
