  • This research aimed to find out whether there was a significant effect of using TGT technique on students reading comprehension achievement. This research was conducted by using the quantitative method, exactly experimental research. The samples used were two classes, they were VIII-2 which consisted of 21 students as the experimental class and the students of VIII-1 which consisted of 22 students as the control class. The instruments of collecting data used test. The result of the research was quite significant with the average scores of the experimental class were 44.28 for the pre-test and 68.09 for the post test, meanwhile the average scores for the control class were 40,45 for the pretest and 51,36 for the post-test. The result of the calculation using the t-test showed that t observed = 3.23 and t table for α: 5% was 2.02. It meant that t-observed was higher than t -table {3.23 >2.02}. It could be concluded that there was an effect between the students’ reading comprehension achievements which were taught by using TGT technique and the students’ who were not. There was improvement of the students’ achievement in reading comprehension test but the result still did not pass the Minimum Passing Grade (MPG) of English lesson that is 70. Nevertheless, using TGT technique during the teaching and learning process could make the students more enthusiastic and more active in the class.
