Skripsi of English Education Departement at Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teachers’ Training of State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta.

The sampling technique used in this study was purposive sampling. The subject of this study is the second year students and the samples are VIII.1 as experiment class and VIII.2 as controlled class. Instrument that used in this study is reading test consist of Pre-test and Posttest. The result of this research shows that using numbered heads together technique is effective in improving students’ reading ability in descriptive text. It can be seen from mean of post–test in experimental class (68.33) is higher than controlled class (64.48). Also, mean of gained score in experimental class (13.58) is higher than controlled class (5.38). The data analyzed by using T-test formula. The result of calculation showed that in the significance degree of 5%, the value of t-test (to) > t-table (tt) (2.48 > 1.99). Therefore, it proves that alternative hypothesis (Ha) which states there is a significant progress in using numbered heads technique in improving students’ reading ability in descriptive text, is accepted
