The goal of this study was to find out how the Fix-up method affected the reading comprehension of class X students in SMAN 1 Harau District. Students' difficulties with reading comprehension while learning English are the impetus for this study. Reading scores for students are low. The majority of students did not achieve the KKM or Minimum Standard Score, as indicated by their daily reading tests. Vocabulary is lacking among students. Many students are still unable to comprehend the sentence's meaning when presented with advertisement text using common vocabulary, and they lack motivation to read. The researchers compared two classes using quantitative methods and a quasi-experimental research design in this study. This study's participants were students in class X at SMAN 1 Harau District, with X-E.7 serving as the control group with 30 students and X-E6 as the experimental group with 27 students. A reading test serves as the research instrument. On SPSS 26, an independent sample T-test was used to analyze the data. Students who were taught using the Fix-up strategy and students who were taught without using the Fix-up strategy achieved significantly different levels of reading comprehension. strategy. The fact that the p-value is lower than the alpha value (0.000 0.05) demonstrates this. It is possible to draw the conclusion based on these data that students' reading comprehension is significantly affected by the use of the fix-up strategy.
 

This study examined the effect of the think-pair-share strategy on seventh grade students at the junior high school in MtsS Ashhabul Yamin, Lasi Tuo's ability to write descriptive text. The background for this study was the students' difficulties with writing when learning English. First, most of the students did not understand well how to make a short paragraph. Second, many of the students had limited of vocabulary. Third, some of the students were difficult to writing the sentences that has the correct grammar.  In this study, the researcher compared two classes using a quantitative method and a quasi-experimental research design. The sample of this study were junior high school students in the seventh grade at MTsS Ashhabul Yamin, Lasi Tuo, specifically 7.6 as the experimental class with 28 students and 7.9 as the control class with 27 students. The instrument of this research was writing test. The data was analyzed by using independent sample t-test and paired sample t-test in SPSS 22. The result of the research indicated that there was significant effect of students writing ability between the students who were taught by using think pair share strategy and without using think-pair-share strategy. It can be seen from the value of sig. (2-tailed)  which was smaller than the alpha value (0,000<0,05). From the result of the data, it can be concluded that, using think pair share strategy gave significant effect of writing ability in descriptive text.

There are several problems found in this research, such the material used by teacher was not related to the major, textbook for  students was not provide the material related to their major, and the material only taken from the internet by teacher randomly. This research is research and development which uses the theory of Sugiyono. The stages in this development are research, developing, validation, and testing. The subjects in this study were 36 students from the tenth grade of Computer and Network Engineering. The need analysis shows, students want to learn reading material that is related to their major and useful when they work after graduation. For validation by expert, the English reading material is categorized as "Very Valid" with the percentage score obtained is 83%. The practical results that have been given to teacher and students, the English reading material is categorized as "Very Practice" with  score 92%. And the last, the effectiveness of the English reading material is effective, it gets a significant value of 0.00 which is <0.05,it means that the English reading material is effective. So overall, the developing of English reading material is  accordance with the needs of students majoring in computer and network engineering.

This study aims to determine the effect of the shared reading strategy on students' reading comprehension in class II narrative texts at SMPN 2 X Koto Tanah Datar for the 2021/2022 academic year. This research is caused by several problems related to teaching reading. First, students have difficulty identifying the main idea. Second, students lack the desire to read a text. The last is a problem related to teaching reading by the teacher. The strategy used in teaching reading is still conventional. To overcome this problem, researchers have implemented a shared reading strategy.
This study uses experimental research. Researchers used a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group design. The population in this study were class II students at SMPN 2 X Koto. Sample in VIII.
From the results of the calculation of the post-test values ??of the two classes, the average post-test value (2) of the experimental class was 71.77. This is higher than the average post-test control class (1), 61.29. This means that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and it can be interpreted that the reading test results of students who are taught using the shared reading strategy are better than the results of the reading tests of students who are not taught using the shared reading strategy. So, it can be concluded that all hypotheses are accepted. It is proven that the use of shared reading strategies helps students' reading comprehension of narrative texts well.

The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of using picture series on students' speaking skill. The researcher had done at MTSS Nagari Binjai. The problems in this research was caused by several factors. Firstly, students paid less attention to the English teacher. Secondly, they were afraid of making mistake to express ideas. In this research a quasi-experimental design was used by the researcher. The researcher used pre-test and post-test to experimental and control class. The sample was 2A as experimental class and taught by using picture series and 2B as control class and taught without using picture series. To determine the sample, the experimental and control class, the researcher utilized SPSS 20 to examine the data and check for normality and homogeneity. The researcher utilized the t-test formula to test the hypothesis and consulted the results in a t-table with level of significance of 0.05. It was found that there was a significant effect of using picture series toward students speaking skill. Then there was a significant difference between students who were taught using picture series and those who were taught without them. The value of t-calculated in the post-test from the experimental and control classes was greater than the t-table (3.4 > 2.021). The last hypothesis was that teaching with picture series was superior than teaching without picture series in terms of improving students' speaking skill. In the post-test, the mean score of the experimental class was greater than the control class (8.10 > 2.54).
