Abstract

This classroom action research, with one cycle, was aimed at improving junior high school students’ participation and reading comprehension achievement by using the Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) approach. Observation, pre-test and post-test were used to collect the data. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics with a percentage formula. The research results showed that the student's participation during the teaching and learning process of reading comprehension by applying TBLT improved from 73.9% in the second meeting, to 90 % in the third meeting, and to 100% in the fourth meeting. In addition, the students’ reading comprehension achievement also improved from 35% in the pre-test to 81% in the post-test. Therefore, junior high school English teachers are suggested to apply TBLT in teaching reading comprehension.
