Description of the Research
In the planning stage, the researcher and the collaborator prepared several things related to the teaching and learning process such as: .. prepared the lesson plan, made the instrument that would be examined as a post-test in the cycle I, prepared the material, made the observation sheet of the students' activity, identified the problem and found the causes of the problem at the beginning and the end of learning activities. At this stage, the students actively followed the teaching-learning process, because they worked it on the group, so they would discuss when they found the problems. As some of the students did not have confidence to share the ideas in front of the others, they still felt shy, and because of their lack of desire to read English text to some students, they lost the discussion time.
The researcher recalled that the text used in teaching learning was organized in the descriptive form. The second meeting was over, the students looked happier and more active than the first meeting.

From the outcome of the learning process in Cycle II, the researcher analyzed that reading comprehension would generally improve by using the learning-oriented method. Most of the students enjoyed their studies by using the learning-centered method and it also made the students very interested in reading English even though they felt confused at the beginning of the pre-treatment class.
Interpretation
Based on the observation of the learning process in cycle II, it could be deduced that the result of cycle II was success. It means that the students can achieve the target, the target is that 80% students can achieve a score ≥65. There was an improvement in the students scoring on the norm from pre-test to post-test 1 and from post-test 1 to post-test 2.
Based on the pre-test and post-test results, it was evident that the learning-centered method was able to improve the students' reading comprehension, which was significantly related to the average of the students before and after the treatment. Based on the graphic above, it can be concluded that there has been an improvement in the learning activity of the students during the course due to the use of the learning-centered method in improving the reading comprehension of the students.
