the ways is by using a particular method to
enhance students competence in four basic skills
(reading, writing, speaking, and listening). This
final project is about the use CIRC method in
enhancing students ability in reading skill.
This study is conducted in second grade of
students in SMP Negeri 2 Limpung in academic year
2010/2011. The purpose of this study is to know
whether CIRC method can be applied in teaching
reading comprehension and can CIRC method enhance
students achievement in reading comprehension.
A Cooperative Integrated Reading and
Composition is a comprehensive reading and
writing program for students in grades 2 through
8. It includes story- related activities, direct
instruction in reading comprehension, and
integrated reading and language arts activities.
This study used quantitative method by using
post-test only, equivalent group design. Try out
is used to know the reliability and validity of
item test. Class VIII A is an experimental group
and VIII B as a control group. There were twice
treatments before a post test was conducted. The
students were given descriptive and recount text
for the treatment. From the test to the both of
groups, the data obtained was analyzed. Result
indicated that the mean for experimental group
(86.2) is higher than the mean for control group
(57.6). The result for t-test showed that
t-calculation is higher than t-table (1.72 gt
1.67). So, there was a significant difference
between two groups. It can be drawn that the use
of CIRC method is applicable in teaching reading
comprehension. Furthermore, the teacher can find
another method or ways to increase the quality of
their teaching and learning, so the students can
gain the competence wanted.
