Abstract

This preliminary research aimed to examine students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the RT-CL strategy in enhancing students’ reading comprehension skills at Kupang State Polytechnic, East Nusa Tenggara-Indonesia. A pre-experimental design with an experimental class took one group of pre-test and post-test survey questionnaires to identify how the RT-CL strategy was perceived to promote students’ activeness and stimulate students’ motivation. The paired sample t-test analysis indicated that the most significant change was motivation, which was 0.859 (2,925 to 3,784), and activeness which was 0.667 (3,255 to 3,922). This study revealed that the RT-CL strategy supports one another to help students enhance reading comprehension skills in less time. The strategy emphasized students participating in text discussion and active work with the subject material, mainly improving reading comprehension skills. In addition, most students felt motivated to read and could engage actively to accomplish English text quickly and accurately, reducing stress and eliminating boredom.
