The Use of Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) Method to Enhance Arabic Reading Comprehension Skills for Students of VIII Aisyah Class in Even Semester at Darul Fattah Quran Junior High School of Bandar Lampung in the 2019/2020 Academic Year   ABSTRACT Regarding the development of education that continues to change and for the sake of developing education quality, one of the elements that must be considered in the educational curriculum is a foreign language. In Indonesia, Arabic is a foreign language; in keeping with the need, the Arabic language is taught more seriously alongside knowledge teaching. Nevertheless, learning a foreign language (Arabic) is not as easy as learning the mother tongue. Some obstructions must be coped with, such as ashwat science, grammar, and vocabulary. In addition, difficulties also come from students or teachers themselves, learning methods, materials, and teaching facilities. Therefore, the author examines students' reading comprehension skills with the research title “The Use of Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) Method to Enhance Arabic Reading Comprehension Skills for Students of VIII Aisyah Class in Even Semester at Darul Fattah Quran Junior High School of Bandar Lampung in the 2019/2020 Academic Year” The type of research employed was Classroom Action Research (CAR). This research was carried out at Darul Fattah Quran Junior High School, Bandar Lampung, in Arabic class VIII subjects in the even semester of the 2019/2020 academic year. The study results revealed that using the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) method could enhance students' Arabic reading comprehension skills as evidenced by the mean value obtained in the first cycle of 76.82, categorized as adequate. However, it experienced a slight decrease of 0.30 points, equivalent to 0.39% in the second cycle, to 76.52 categorized as adequate. After that, cycle III underwent a relatively good increase of 4.95 points or equivalent to 6.47% to 81.47, with a sufficient category.   Keywords: CIRC, Reading Comprehension Skill

The present study primarily aimed at investigating the effect of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) on development of the Iranian EFL learners’ ESP Reading Comprehension Skills. Moreover, it was aimed at investigating the probable difference between the TBLT-instructed students of Law and Mechanical Engineering with respect to their ESP reading skills, on the one hand, and the probable difference between TBLT-instructed males and females, on the other. In so doing, four groups of 25 participants (including two experimental groups and two control ones) were selected through cluster random sampling from among ESP students majoring in Law and Mechanical Engineering. After a four-week instruction treatment, the post-test was conducted to the participants. The results of the data analysis revealed that the experimental groups significantly performed better than the control groups in the post-test with respect to their reading comprehension scores. Furthermore, the results of independent samples t-test indicated that TBLT has been more effective on the Mechanical Engineering students than the Law students. Finally, the findings of the study were indicative of the fact that TBLT was more effective on females’ reading comprehension rather than on males’. Consequently, it can be concluded that TBLT can have a positive effect on students’ ESP reading ability. The findings of this study can be employed in different areas of second/foreign language teaching and learning to facilitate and improve the process of language learning.

The article aimed to investigate whether there was a correlation among the language skills and components. The researcher took two language skills and one language component to be part of the research: listening, reading comprehension skills, and grammar mastery. In the research, there were several questions regarding the three variables of listening, reading, and grammar which were focusing on the correlation among the variables. The independent variable was grammar mastery (X) while the independent variables were listening comprehension (Y1) and reading comprehension (Y2). The data collection was taken from the population of Grade X Budi Luhur Senior High School students, Tangerang, with 40 students served as a sample. The research was conducted using the quantitative method with the help of statistical calculation of Pearson Product Moment Correlation to prove whether there was a significant correlation among the three variables. As a result, it is proven that there is no significant correlation between grammar mastery and both listening and reading skills while there is a quite strong correlation between listening and reading skills of the students.

The presented article discusses the issue of authenticity in testing Polish as a foreign language through a certificate exam. The pursuit of authenticity can manifest both in the general concept of the exam sheet (in its layout and structure), as well as in tasks testing individual skills. When testing reading comprehension, the authenticity requirement can be met by appropriate use of texts from different sources in the examination tasks. These can be both original texts that were created for purposes other than examination, and prepared texts (written specifically for the certification test by the authors of the tasks).
