ABSTRACT

Keywords : Grouping Technique, English Reading Skill

This grouping technique provides opportunities for students, starting face to face, to give and receive in practice until they reach indicators of success in an effort to improve students' English reading skills. Teaching is guiding and facilitating learning so as to enable students to learn, and building conditions for learning.
This research is a true experiment with a quantitative approach. This research was also carried out to control the two variables that were influenced by the experiment and those that were not. This research was conducted by comparing two classes. Class VIIC is the experimental class with treatment and class VIID is the control class without treatment. From the results of the pre-test and post-test, there are significant differences. This grouping technique has an influence on student learning, especially in improving their reading ability.
The grouping technique also has a positive impact on students' learning motivation so that many students who were previously not interested in learning English became interested in learning English.
