The data were obtained by two multiple choice tests, pre-test was given to both classes before the treatment and the post test was given after the treatment. The hypothesis was tested using the t-test analysis. The data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The tests of normality and homogeneity were done before the test of the hypothesis employed. The data of both pre-test and post-test from the control and the experimental classes were also compared. The result of the descriptive statistics of the post-test show that the mean score of the experimental class is 26.9429 and it is categorized into high category and that of the control group was 21.1714, and it is categorized into fair category. It means that the mean scores on the reading skill test of the experimental group is higher than that of the control group. Moreover, the result of t-test shows that the value of significance is lower than the significance level of this study, i.e. 0.000 < 0.05. it means that there is a significant difference in reading comprehension between students who were taught using group work and students who were not taught using group work.
