In the text of English, there are the students difficult to understand of the text. It caused their English vocabulary is limited. Consequently, sometimes there are students don’t like to read English text. To overcome this problem, recently introduced and applied a technique is Carousel Brainstorming. Carousel Brainstorming is a process to generate ideas and solve problems especially with either large groups or with a large number of issues. This technique is hoped can be skill well in reading comprehension of English.

Purnayanti, Hanik, 2012. Pemahaman Bacaan Bahasa Inggris Siswa Kelas X MA NU Muallimat Kudus Tahun 2011/2012 yang diajar dengan menggunakan Carousel Brainstorming. Skripsi. Program Studi Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan. Universitas Muria
Kudus. Pembimbing (I): Diah Kurniati, S.Pd., M.Pd, (II): Titis Sulistyowati, S.S., M.Pd.
Kata kunci : Pemahaman Bacaan, Carousel Brainstorming, teks narrative, teks descriptive, dan news item
Membaca adalah suatu proses yang dilakukan seseorang untuk mendapatkan beberapa informasi. Di dalam membaca suatu bacaan yang berbahasa Inggris, ada siswa yang kesulitan untuk memahami bacaan tersebut. Selain itu, terkadang juga ada siswa yang tidak suka membaca suatu bacaan yang berbahasa Inggris. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan ini, akhir-akhir ini mulai diperkenalkan dan diterapkan sebuah teknik yaitu Carousel Brainstorming. Carousel Brainstorming adalah sebuah proses yang dilakukan untuk mendiskripsikan secara umum suatu masalah baik dalam kelompok yang banyak maupun pokok persoalan yang sangat panjang. Teknik ini diharapkan dapat memperbaiki kemampuan dalam pemahaman bacaan yang berbahasa Inggris.
Penulis membuat manfaat dari penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui adanya perbedaan yang signifikan antara penguasaan Bahasa Inggris siswa kelas X MA NU Mu’allimat Kudus tahun Akademik 2011/2012 sebelum dan sesudah diajar dengan mengguanakan Carousel Brainstorming.
Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah experimental research. Dalam melaksanakan penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan desain pretest post test satu kelompok. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa kelas X MA NU Mu`alimat Kudus tahun akademik 2011/2012. Sample yang digunakan adalah cluster random sampling. Penulis hanya mengamil 48 siswa dari kelas X.2 sebagai sampel penelitian. Jenis instrumen yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah test dan menggunakan rumus untuk menguji hipotesis, penulis menggunakan rumus t-test.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (i) penguasaan Bahasa Inggris siswa kelas
X.2 MA NU Mu’allimat Kudus akademik 2011/2012 sebelum diajar dengan
2011/2012 sebelum dan sesudah diajar dengan menggunakan Carousel Brainstorming. Ini dapat dibuktikan bahwa pada level Signifikasi 0,05 atau
5%, hasil t-Observasi adalah 11,7 dan hasil dari t-tabel adalah 2.02 atau t-observasi > t-table. Dengan kata lain, t-observasi lebih besar daripada t-table. Pada
akhirnya hipotesis nol ditolak dan hipotesis alternatif diterima.
Berdasarkan dengan hasil penelitian, peneliti memiliki beberapa saran. Bagi
guru bahasa Inggris MA NU Mu’allimat Kudus, mereka sebaiknya memberikan lebih
ekspose dan penekaran terhadap penggunaan Carousel Brainstorming sebagai alternatif teknik di dalam pengajaran pemahaman bacaan. Melalui penggunaan Carousel Brainstorning, pengajaran dan pembelajaran akan lebih efektif dan akan mempersingkat waktu dari pembelajaran terlebih lagi, untuk para siswa kelas X MA
NU Mu’allimat Kudus, mereka seharusnya lebih tertarik di dalam pemahaman
