CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
B. Discussion
student good, 12 (57%) students got fairly good, 7 (33%) students got fairly, and 1 (5%) student got poor.
Table 4.3 Classification of the students Score Reading Comprehension in Term of the Main Idea (Post-Test)
Table 4.3 showed that the Classification of the students Score Reading Comprehension in term of literal comprehension in post-test there are 2 (10%) students very good, 11 (52%) students got good, 5 (24%) students got fairly good and 3 (14%) students got fairly.
developmental reading courses. Scanning atextis a reading technique where the reader looks for specific information rather than trying to absorb all the information if you're reading a timetable say you want specific information usually and so look for something that is convenient for your journey plans- when you do this, you are scanning.
The improvement shows the process in pretest and postest. The result of the students reading in pretest was low, especially in finding the main idea of test. It shows that the students could not express their ideas and their understandable. It was before using scanning technique in reading activity.
Based on the problem above, the writer gave the treatment by using so scanning technique that the students could show the improvement in post-test. In pre-test, only given the exercise (reading text) to know their prior knowledge before using scanning technique.
At the beginning, their reading comprehension was very bad. Almost of them were confused and spent much time to think about the meaning of the word in the reading text. They only read, but they did not understand about how to find answer of the reading text.
The writer gave the treatment by using. scanning technique As the result, students become active and enjoy in reading activity. They will be easy to do the reading activity. Most of their utterance were correct and no need to read for a long time to understand what they read.
The description of the data collection through reading test as explained to the previous finding section that the students’ achievement after using scanning
technique was significant. In using scanning technique in reading activity, the writer found that the mean score of post-test students’ achievement is greater than pretest. In Table 4.1 showed that the score of find out the main idea which the mean score of pretest is 69 and after using scanning technique, the mean score of post-test is 77,2. Meanwhile, the means score of find out the main idea in pretest is 67,3 and the mean score of find out the conclusion in post-test was 75.
Therefore, the writer indicated that there was a significant improvement after using scanning technique in the treatment.
Through the result of pre-test and post-test, the result of t-test value of the level of the significant = 0.05, degree of the freedom (df) = 20 indicated that t- table value was 2,08 and t-test value was 15,4. Therefore, it can be concluded that statistically hypothesis of HI was accepted and the statistically hypothesis of HOwas rejected. was meant that the scanning technique use of in teaching reading comprehension could improvethe students’ comprehension of reading.
By seeing the effectiveness of the students’ literal comprehension in reading . It was concluded that the use of scanning technique reading comprehension in literal in reading. It could be showed from the students’ reading test in pre-test and post-test. In pre-test, some students were difficult to answer the questions and find out main idea, conclusion. But, the students’ reading comprehension in post-test, which the content of reading comprehension could understand. Then, the students were easy to answer the questions and find out main idea.
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
After conducting the Experimental Research about the Using After conducting the Experimental Research about the Use of After conducting the Experimental Research about the Use of scanning technique in teaching reading comprehension and based on the writer findings in the previous chapter, the writer concluded that:
1. The use of Scanning Technique is effective to increase the students’
literal reading comprehension in main idea, it was proved by the mean score of literal comprehension before and after giving treatment is 69 becomes 77,2improve 11,8% with the t-test value main idea comprehension is greater than t-table (7,8> 2,08).
B. .Suggestion
Based on the result of the data analysis and conclusion above the research suggest:
1. The writer suggest to the English teacher to use scanning technique in teaching reading comprehension to the students which is effective to improve their ability in reading comprehension.
2. By following the procedure of scanning technique the students can be improved their achievement especially in learning reading comprehension.
3. Teacher should be creative to manage the material for teaching such as using scanning technique
39
4. The teachers had better give more the material of reading to the students in order to intensify the students achievement in English reading .
5. The students had better to keep on reading with various material of reading.

I remember the day when I first got Sandy, my 7 year old cat. I wanted to name her because she was so cute. My older sister Michelle convinced me to name her Sandy Bucket instead; so we could call her Sandy for short. I was so attached to Sandy. Every time I saw her, I couldn’t walk away, I would just have to hug her. I even slept at the end of my bed, so I can hug her the whole night even though I was freezing.
I always remember so many fun times with Sandy. Like when we would run and jump off the end of our pier, and Sandy would chase after us. When I was scared or mad, I would just hug Sandy and everything wouldn’t be so bad.
But one night, right before I went to bed, my mom let her out. While I went to sleep, my mom went to call Sandy back in. But she didn’t come in, so I thought she maybe went inside my neighbor’s house. As my mom and dad went outside to look for Sandy, I became really worried.
They couldn’t find he r. Every ten minutes they would go out to look for her, so I went to bed hoping she was safe. I just thought she got lost and would come back tomorrow.
The next day was the worst. My mom woke us early and told me and my sister, Michelle, that Sandy died last night. I was so sad and did not want to do anything that day. When I was going to school, I could not stop crying. At school all my friends made me cards and tried to make me stop crying, but I couldn’t. my teacher would always look at me and ask why I was crying. Even my friends was crying with me.
When I got home I went to my room crying really loudly. I wanted to scream. I came downstairs and hugged my mom. She said we could get another cat. Then, she was trying to find
looked like Sandy or at the same age or even in the same kind.
That night I slept with my mom and we prayed for Sandy. I kept thinking she was a ghost at the end of the bed, so I stayed closed to my mom. The next day I figured out that if Sandy was a ghost, she would not scare me or haunt me. She would be waiting for me to play with her.
I still think about Sandy every day and wish she could come back.

Sunday The Terrible
Last week was a terrible day for me. My cousin and I were playing football infront of the house to spend time with us .
First, it was really fun until I kicked the ball too strong, so the ball leaded me to the window and broke the window. When we want to escape, all of a sudden we all heard a loud voice. After that, the owner of the house came out of the fence, he yelled at us. We are very afraid of her, but
heard the sound of skin. Then we know that homeowners allow dogs to chase us. And we were struggling to run as fast as her as we can.
But, I fell down so the dog managed to capture me and bit my leg. It really hurts me. Then the dog ran back into the house. My cousin took me to the doctor and told my parents . In the end, the doctor said that I was exposed to rabies. Then I was hospitalized for one week more.
That's a terrible day of the week for me, may not happen to me again in his next week Sunday.
