This study was intended to find out whether Directed Reading-Thinking Activity (DR-TA) improved the studentsâ€TM reading achievement or not. The researcher used quasi-experimental research design. In this case, the experimental group was given a treatment using DR-TA and the control group was treated without using DR-TA. The population in this study was all of the students of first grade of SMKN 4 Malang which were divided into 28 classes and six different majors. The researcher used purposive sampling to select the sample. The researcher took Multimedia class as the representative of the population because from the result of final test in second semester it was found that Multimedia class has the lowest mean score compare with the other class. As a result, class Multimedia C was experimental group and Multimedia D was control group. Based on the result of data analysis in the post test of experimental and control group, the studentsâ€TM achievement in reading was better than control group. This was because the mean score of the post test of experimental group was 74.625 while the mean score of the control group was 70. Moreover, after being computed by using t-test it was found that te was 2.781 and the level significance of 0.05 and the degree of freedom of 38, then the tt value were found 2.0244. The data showed that the value of te was greater than tt. Therefore, the hypothesis stated that the students who are taught using DRTA technique show better achievement than those without DRTA technique are accepted.
