The Comparison Between Sq5r and Fix–up Strategy in Reading Comprehension for Efl Secondary Level Learners

Abstract

This study investigates the Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Record, Reflect and Review (SQ5R) method and Fix–Up strategy to increase students’ reading comprehension of descriptive texts at Tenth grade of MAN 1 Takengon. The purpose of this research is to find out the comparison of strategies between Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Record, Reflect and Review and Fix–Up strategy. This study used quantitative research using experimental design. The sample of this study consisted of X-A and X-B classes. The X-A Science class was treated as the experimental class, and the X-B class was designed as the control class. Both classes consist of 20 students. The data of this study were attained using observation and reading tests. The results showed that the SQ5R strategy was effective for EFL secondary level learners to facilitate students to attain reading comprehension at the tenth grade of MAN 1 Takengon. This study can be concluded that the SQ5R strategy was more effective than the Fix-Up strategy in teaching reading comprehension classes.

Research on the second-grade students' reading comprehension ability through fix-up options strategy implementation

“…The finding indicated that students could answer the questions correctly after applying those options. The finding was in line with Herwanis et al (2021) which claimed that this strategy could help students understand certain words and sentences.…”

“…More recently, a study conducted by Herwanis et al, (2021) sought to compare the fix-up options strategy to the Surveys, Questioning, Read, Recite, Record, Reflect, and Review (SQ5R) strategy for improving students' reading comprehension. They discovered that both strategies increased students' comprehension when using observation and tests for instruments.…”

“…Accordingly, finding a reading strategy is necessary when the focus is failed, and the comprehension is lost. One of many suggestions is the fix-up options strategy, which provides some options and steps as espouse tools for fixing none that makes sense (Herwanis, Zakaria, Renaldi, & Sari, 2021). As a result, students can improve their comprehension skills by applying this strategy.…”

Enhancing Efl Learners’ Reading Comprehension Through Sq4r Method at the Secondary Schools

“…In addition, the SQ4R method can be one good solution to the problems of selecting methods for teaching reading. This is in fact in line with some empirical evidence of the importance of the SQ4R method as one of the effective ways to enhance EFL learners ' reading comprehension (Alzu'bi, 2020;Ginting et al, 2021;Khusniyah, 2020;Mohamed Sayed Mohamed, 2020;Nurhidayat & Suwandi, 2021;Başar & Gürbüz, 2017;Khusniyah & Lustyantie, 2017;Herwanis et al, 2021;Simbolon et al, 2020;Rojabi, 2020). Qualitatively, EFL learners under study experienced EFL reading comprehension process by stepping into six phases, i.e., survey, question, read, recite, relate and review.…”

“…One of the effective strategies for reading is SQ4R. Numerous studies claimed that the SQ4R strategy can be used as an effective way to enhance EFL learners ' reading comprehension (Alzu'bi, 2020;Ginting et al, 2021;Khusniyah, 2020;Mohamed Sayed Mohamed, 2020;Nurhidayat & Suwandi, 2021;Başar & Gürbüz, 2017;Khusniyah & Lustyantie, 2017;Herwanis et al, 2021;Simbolon et al, 2020;Rojabi, 2020). In the SQ4R strategy, learners are not only required to increase reading comprehension by conventional ways in which learners are recognizing global ideas and detailed linguistic features in the text, but also enhance their critical competence where intellectual indigestion is optimized.…”
