Abstract

The objective of this study is to improve the students' words stressing on reading short functional text. This research method is classroom action research using two cycles, it have three stages are planning, orientation, implementation. The first cycle, discussion and reflection at the end of the later action until planning the correction phase in the second cycle. The research subjects were in the class of 33 students of class VIII-D of SMP Negeri 2 Purwokerto. Data collection in this study is observation, which is an observation sheet to see how far the action has been achieved in the students' words stressing when reading short functional text. The results of the research in the first cycle were 3 students in the poor category, 18 students in the medium category and 12 students in the good category in words stressing on reading short functional text. The results of the second cycle of 22 students well-skilled and 11 students medium-skilled in reading on words stressing, and there were no more students who were less-skilled at reading short functional text on word stress. It can be concluded that there is an increase in word stress skills when reading short functional text from the first cycle to the second cycle in action.

Assessment of reading ability in English language learning is not directed to practice reading skills, so students assume the teaching of reading their goals solely answers questions. This study aims to design an assessment model of the ability to read short functional text in class VIII SMP with valid contents, constructs, reliable and practical. Instrument characteristics have valid and reliable scoring guidelines will provide the results of evaluation of learning in accordance with the achievement of competence in learning English. This research method is development research using Sugiyono development model. Samples of this study were 33 field test students and 100 students for usage test. The data were collected using interview guides, expert validation sheets, assessment sheets, rubrics and questionnaires. Data analysis was done on qualitative using expert hypothetical analysis and quantitative using character analysis of grains, field test analysis and usage test. The instrument shows valid content validity of 0.8 with medium criterion, reliably contents reliability of 0.731. Validity of valid construct with characteristic on path analysis each indicator has score> 0,4 ​​while value of T each indicator has score> 1,96 and for model match show all indicator R2> 0,5 then model say good fit. The reliability of instrument construct on reading aloud shows 0.898>0,70 and reading comprehension 0.895> 0,70 is said to be constructively reliable. Instrument reliability shows reading aloud 0,938 and reading comprehension 0,903 is said to be a reliable instrument. Practicality shows the result that the developed instrument is said to be practical. The developed instrument resulted in the guidance of the reading of standard functional text. The benefits of developed instruments are useful to enable teachers to administer student literacy assessments.
