A. Background of the StudyLearning about English has been directly involved four English skills, they are listening

comprehension skill, speaking skill, writing skill and the last one is reading skill. Those skills are

There are some problems students have appeared while learning about reading

comprehension. The problem is not only for the beginner, but also for intermediate and advance

learners, just like how learners can understand about the English reading text. Like getting the

main idea, main problem of the text, topic sentences and many more. This problem might be

easy for learners to solve or getting solution. But at some reasons also, this can be common

problems have been done by all aspect of learners.

The second problem is how the learners comprehend their understanding about one text.

The learners often do this common mistake very often. It could be seen from some reading test

like national examination or even in English test for international standard. For the learners who

take English as their foreign language is getting difficult to understand the English text easily

and broaden their mind to see meaning behind the text itself.

Another case of how students or learners cannot broaden their comprehension is because

the English reading text needs to read for many times. We dont just analysis the construction

The problem of mastering In this thesis writing, the writer focuses talking about reading

comprehension. Where this

B. Statement of the ProblemBased on the problem stated above, the writer formulates statement of the problem which is

RESEARCH METHOD

A. Research DesignThis study is designed as quantitative research where experimental study which involves

experimental and control group. At first the writer manipulates the condition of the research for

experimental group as the main investigation toward learning process about speaking. Then, the

treatment reveals to English debate technique as (independent variable) in the process of learning

and teaching about speaking to know about the students speaking ability (dependent variable).

The element shown the significance technique used to improve learners understanding. The

second, the writer also deliberately controlled group through the event and teaching in what they

were interested in or by applying the other instrument and material through dialogue technique

used while teaching English for speaking skill.

B. Population and Sample TechniquesBefore the writer goes to the field for investigating the problem which could be

important for writer to know at first is about the technique which makes easily while doing

the investigation in the field.

1. Population

Population is the whole subject in this research area. In the encylopedia of

educational evaluation, population was defined as a set or a collection of all elements

prosesing one or more atributes of interest (Searvia B inderson, 1975 : 339). The

population of this study was student at 2nd

grade of SMAN 1 Keruak in academic year

2011/2012. The number of whole students at this level or grade are 218 students which

are devided into 6 Classes. They are: XI IPA 1: 34, XI IPA 2: 34, XI IPS 1: 36, XI IPS 2:

41, XI IPS 3: 40, and XI BAHASA: 33. Then, the numbers of population are 218

students. But the writer classifies and takes two classes of students as the populations.

They are students of XI IPA 1 and XI IPA 2. So the number of populations are 68

students.

2. SampleSample is the part or representative subject from the population. In this study, the

sampling technique used by writer is called classes sampling. It is called classes sampling

because the writer takes two classes as sample of this research, they are: XI IPA 1: which

the number of students in each classes are 34 students, and XI IPA 2 are 34 students. So

the whole samples are 68 students.

If the number of subject is less than 100 of the students, then, all will be taken as

sample but, if the major subject is more than 100, the researcher can get 10% till 15% or

25 or 25% (Arikunto, 2006).

Based on the explanation above, Then, the writer would take all students as sample,

which consist of 68 students that was devided into two class, there are 34 students of XI

IPA 1 class as experimental group and 34 students of XI IPA 2 as control group.
