Abstract

The purpose of this research was to improve the students’ reading comprehension of the 9th grade at SMPN 14 Surabaya by using literature circles technique. Each cycle of classroom action research consisted of three meetings and included four steps: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The data were gathered through the use of two instruments: observation and test. The results indicated only 5 students were present among those who passed the test (12.50%). The number of students that completed the test increased from 5 to 18 which one may argue that the number of students increased by 13 students, or 32.50%. In light of the results of cycle 1. Then, in the cycle 2, the total number of 35 students (87.50%) passed the KKM and there were only 5 students (12.50%) who did not pass the test. The Literature Circle technique was successfully implemented with the students of SMPN 14 Surabaya in the 9th grade. A considerable improvement in the implementation of the Literature Circle was seen among the students. Students' narrative reading comprehension achievement in class 9-A was greatly enhanced as a result of the Literature Circles technique, according to the results of the pre- and post-tests.
