ABSTRACT Amalina, Wafroh. 2016. Silent Card Shuffle Strategy to Teach Reading to the Eighth Grade Students of MTs N 1 Kudus in 2016/2017 Academic Year.Skripsi.English Education Department of Teacher Training and Education Faculty.Muria Kudus University. Advisors (i) Drs. Suprihadi, M.Pd. (ii) Nuraeningsih, S.Pd., M.Pd. Key Words: Reading Comprehension and Silent Card Shuffle Strategy. Reading comprehension is the process of using prior knowledge and understanding the messages of written text. In MTs N 1 Kudus, the eighth grade students had less motivation in reading a text. They seem bored and got difficulties in comprehending the text. They also felt confused what have they read. It is proved by the writer observation who found the students scores are under the KKM. To cover this situation Silent Card Shuffle Strategy can be an alternative strategy in teaching reading comprehension. The objective of this research is to find out whether there is significant difference between the reading comprehension of the eighth grade students of MTs N 1 Kudus in 2016/2017 academic year before and after being taught by using Silent Card Shuffle Strategy. This research is experimental research which used one group pre-test and post-test. The population of this research was the eighth grade students of MTs N 1 Kudus in 2016/2017 academic year. The writer used cluster random sampling to take the sample and got class VIII A as the sample with total of students is 30. The instrument of this research was test. The writer used multiple choices test which consists of 25 items. The result of this research showed that mean of pre-test is 66 and the standard deviation is 9.94. Meanwhile the mean of post-test is 82 and the standard deviation is 7.7. Based on t-test calculation the result showed t-obtain (t o ) is 14.4. With the level of significance (α) 0.05 and the Degree of Freedom (df) 29, t-table (t t ) is ± 2.045. Therefore, the writer rejected null hypothesis (H 0 ) and accepted alternative hypothesis (H a ) because t-obtain (t o ) falls in the critical region. After conducting this research, the writer concludes that Silent Card Shuffle Strategy is effective to be applied in teaching reading comprehension of the eighth grade students of MTs N 1 Kudus in 2016/2017 academic year. The writer suggests that the English teacher can use this strategy to make the students more active in learning process and it can solve the students difficulties in comprehending a text.

Kata Kunci: Pemahaman Membaca dan Silent Card Shuffle Strategy. Pemahaman membaca adalah suatu proses penggunaan pengetahuan sebelumnya dan memahami pesan dari teks tertulis. Di MTs N 1 Kudus, siswa kelas VIII memiliki motivasi yang kurang dalam membaca sebuah teks. Mereka terlihat bosan dan mendapat kesulitan dalam memahami teks. Mereka juga merasa bingung dengan apa yang telah mereka baca. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dari hasil observasi penulis yang menemukan bahwa nilai siswa di bawah KKM.Untuk mengatasi kondisi ini, Silent Card Shuffle Strategy dapat diterapkan dalam pengajaran pemahaman membaca. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara pemahaman membaca siswa kelas VIII MTs N 1 Kudus pada tahun ajaran 2016/2017 sebelum dan sesudah diajar menggunakan Silent Card Shuffle Strategy. Desain dari penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimental dengan menggunakan grup tunggal pre-test dan post-test.populasi penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VIII MTs N 1 Kudus tahun ajaran 2016/2017. Penulis menggunakan teknik cluster random sampling untuk mengambil sample dan mendapatkan kelas VIII A sebagai sample dengan jumlah siswa 30. Instrumen dalam penelitian ini adalah tes. Penulis menggunakan tes pilihan ganda yang terdiri dari 25 soal. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan nilai rata-rata pada pre-test adalah 66 dan standar deviasi 9,94. Sedangkan nilai rata-rata pada post-test adalah 82 dan standar deviasi 7,7. Berdasarkan dari hitungan t-test, hasilnya menunjukkan t- obtain (to) 14,4. Dengan level signifikan (α) 0,05 dan degree of freedom (df) 29, didapatkan t-table (t t ) ± 2,045. Oleh karena itu, penulis menolah null hipotesis (H 0 ) dan menerima alternatif hipotesis (H a ) karena t-obtain (t o ) jatuh pada wilayah kritis. Setelah melakukan penelitian ini, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa Silent Card Shuffle Strategy efektif untuk diterapkan dalam pengajaran pemahaman membaca siswa kelas VIII MTs N 1 Kudus tahun ajaran 2016/2017.Penulis menyarankan, guru Bahasa Inggris dapat menggunakan strategi ini untuk membuat siswa lebih aktif dalam proses pembelajaran dan Silent Card Shuffle Strategy dapat mengatasi kesulitan dalam pemahaman sebuah teks.
