CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background

The progress of education in Indonesia is developing rapidly along with

technological advancements. One lesson that is no less important is English. In

learning English, there are several aspects that are considered in accordance

with basic skills, namely reading, writing, speaking, and listening. All of these

skills have one and the same bond, especially in reading skills. Reading is an

activity carried out by people every day, with the aim of knowing what

information is happening right now. Reading is where someone needs a very

high focus or concentration to understand the reading they are reading, with a

high concentration the reader will get information about what the writer is

conveying to the reader. (Rahayu,2014)

Stated that, reading is a process carried out by the reader to get a

message, which will be conveyed from the author by intermediary words or

writing media. In addition, reading is a process carried out and used for readers

to find out messages that use the word author or written language. Reading is

also needed to find answers to certain questions or problems that someone

reads. To quench one's thirst for knowledge, reading a book is needed, and

most books. But in reading a lot of difficulties someone makes the message

conveyed by the writer does not reach the reader (Pardon,2004).

Page 19: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

Indonesian students may have difficulty understanding English reading

texts because English is not their main language. For example, the first students

find some difficulties when the teacher asks them about some information that is

not purely mentioned in the text but is still in context. the second is that

Indonesian students lack vocabulary and that makes it difficult for them to

understand the text. the third difficulty faced by students is in finding the main

ideas of the text. Students must master these aspects so they can understand the

text and answer the questions presented well. (Aryanti Puspita,2017)

Based on observations from Magang 1,2,3 and P2K, most difficulties and

problems occur in students when reading books. Sometimes students face

books but don't read at all. They can only mention the word symbol without

getting an idea from a book. Researchers themselves experience when reading

a book without understanding anything that tends to feel sleepyso that students

who feel bored will have difficulty understanding the reading text. Students

who do not understand the content of the text they read will find it difficult to

answer questions.For example, what are the main ideas they read. Not only

that, students will find it difficult to understand new vocabulary words that

they see in reading.

As the explanation above, the data from observation magang 1,2,3 and

P2k indicates that the students also face the same problems. Most of them are

not competent to understand the text in English well. Many learners can read

the word perfectly in the passage, but can not answer the questions. They can

say words, but they can't get the sense out of words. They find reading

Page 20: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

3

materials hard to grasp. The author also noticed that the instructor only asked

the students to read, and then they first had to answer the question without

explaining the text. So those students who didn't understand what they were

reading.As a result, they did not correctly answer all the questions. The

students have to read critically in this situation, and the instructor must choose

the best technique or method for teaching it.

What a teacher has to consider as an essential primary task is how to

design the reading course with strategies and techniques to help students to

grasp the idea in the text from the mind of the author. Many professionals

familiar with reading comprehension have addressed many approaches and

methods. One of the techniques to be offered here is Quizizz Application.As a

fun multiplayer class activity, Quizz is an online evaluation platform that

allows all students to practice with their computer, smartphone and I Pad

together. The researchers used this application media because this application

media is a type of learning model (Ju, 2018).

In overcome students' problems in reading, we can see the current

situation and see the development of technology, there are many schools that

allow students to bring mobile phones to school, but the use of mobile phones

also accepts many pros and cons because not all students use it properly, or in a

sense that they carry a cellphone but don't use it properly.

Therefore, how students can obtain some information through the

Quizizz Application and students can work together with their friends and

Page 21: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

4

share with their teacher. So students are encouraged to collaborate with friends

about the advantages of using the Quizizz Application media.

Regarding to Adam, (2018) in Implementing Quizizz Application as

Game Based Learning in the Arabic Classroom The Arabic classroom by

implementing Quizizz as a game based learning in the Arabic classroom of

Sultan Idris Education University Malaysia. found that all the students were

very active on the topic of research and more concentrated on the topic. In

addition, the results of the questioners show that the students displayed the

position of attorney as an online teaching and assessment tool during the

Arabic class.

Quizizz Application also integrated with Google Classroom. So if

students are using that learning management system can easily push out your

quizzes to your students, and they will already be authenticated with their

school emails. Some of the features of Google Classroom integration include

the following: Google Classroom Integrated Reports Quizizz is definitely fun.

But when someone reacts to multiple questions at different times, you lose a

little bit of enthusiasm. You can check all the questions all at once when a

game of Quizz is over and you lose the isolation.(Medvedovska, et al.(2016).

Based on the explanation above, the researcher is interested in carrying

out a study entitled "Improving students reading skill through Quizizz

application of the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Pangkep."

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

A. Previous Related Research Findings

Mei (2018) The main purpose of this research is evaluating the

effectively interesting of students for Arabic class by implement of Quizizz as

a game based learning in the Arabic classroom of Sultan Idris Education

University Malaysia . The researchers tested 85 students for 3 sections during

Arabic course titled ―Arabic skill‖. And created 20 questions relevant to the

topics which are students already learned before by using Quizizz as games

based learning for 20 minutes before finishing Arabic class once the students

feel very tired, sleeping and bored for their Arabic class. And a set of

questioners was distributed to those students regarding to their opinion of

implementing Quizizz during the Arabic class. According to testing the

implementing of Quizizz by researcher during the Arabic skill classroom,

found that all students were very active to answer the questions which

provided by researches, and more concentrated on the topic. And the results

of the questioners shows that the students displayed the 24 position attitude

for quizizz as a online teaching and assessment tool during the Arabic class.

Nurhidayah (2018) This research focused on the use of pictoral poster to

provide useful information for students, the students can improve knowladge

about effectiveness of using pictorial in descriptive text. The researcher used

pre-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test. This strategy

Page 25: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

8

was very useful in English language teaching and learning especially in

english reading process to improve students reading comprehension.

Nanda (2018) conducts research about improving reading comprehension

using “ Quizizz Application” strategy. The research aimed at investigating the

use of Quizizz application in improving students‘ reading comprehension

skill. A Pre experimental design was employed only one classes of the tenth

graders at one school Kab. Takalarseelected with total sampling as sample.

The data were obtained through a pretest, a post-test. The Reading

comprehension assessment was covering identify main idea, identifying

supporting details, identifying reference, understanding vocabulary, and

making inference. The finding of Siti Reski Nanda’s work show

improvement. The students’ reading comprehension after Quizizz Application

was implemented.

Based on three experts above, all the researcher focuses on reading skill

through Quizizz Application and using Descriptive text, the first research

focus in evaluating the effectively interesting of students for Arabic class by

implement of Quizizz as a game based learning in the Arabic classroom, the

second research focus to improve reading comprehension of descriptive text

by using pictorial poster to motivate the students to improve imagination in

the mastering of reading ability. The last research focus in investigating the

use of Quizizz application in improving students‘ reading comprehension

skill. However in this research focus to improve reading skill of descriptive

text by using quizizz application because quizizz application is one of the

Page 26: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

9

interesting media in teaching English reading ability. So the teacher use

quizizz application media to motivate the students’ to improve students' in

learning to be more active and interested in the mastering of reading ability.

B. Concept of Reading

1. Definition of Reading

Reading is one of the most important skills in learning language besides

listening, speaking and writing. It has the fundamental goal to know enough

the concept and the language. It operational means an activity that the

students perform to gain information or message from the written material the

read. Therefore, in reading activity students have intention to obtain

knowledge from their reading.

According to (Tarigan (1990:7) in Jaenal 2010) argues that reading is a

process that is carried and used by readers who want to get the message

delivered by the author through the medium of words or written language.

According to (Oka (1983:15) in Jaenal 2010) if viewed in terms of

differences in scope, it can be distinguished three kinds of meaning to read:

Understanding the first is a narrow sense, namely the sense that regards

reading it as a process of written symbols recognition. Into this process

included the recognition of words carefully, in a wide range, and quickly.

According to William (2014:486) reading can be point as four steps

process. The four steps are interrelated to another, they are:

Page 27: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

10

a. Word perception, the ability to recognize a point

b. Comprehension, the ability to infer ideas from words

c. Reaction, a step in which the reader interacts intellectually and

emotionally.

d. Integration, absorbing the ideas in context of one’s personal

background. Based on the definition of reading above, reading is the

procces of looking at a series of written symbols and getting meaning

from them.

2. Kinds of Reading

As reference to the conception of reading comprehension highlighted in

preceding discussion, there are four types of reading according to Petel& Jain,

(2008: 117-123) : (1) reading aloud, (2) silent reading, (3) intensive reading,

(4) extensive reading.

a. Reading Aloud

Aloud reading is basic form of classroom organization and

disciplines. In reading aloud, the students are confronted with written

sentences which haven‘t spoken before. The aim of reading aloud is the

achievement or better speaking ability and the pronunciation of the

students.

b. Silent Reading

Silent reading is a very important skill in teaching of English. This

reading should be employed to increase reading ability among learners.

Page 28: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

11

Silent reading is done to acquire a lot of information. Silent reading must

be based on student‘s selected text. Silent reading enables the students to

read completely silently without making sounds and moving his lips. It

helps him read with speed, ease and fluency. It aids comprehension and

expands the student‘s vocabulary.

c. Intensive Reading

Intensive reading is related to further in language learning under the

teacher‘s guidance. Intensive reading will provide a basic for explaining

difficulties of structure and for extending knowledge of vocabulary and

idioms. Intensive reading material will be the basis for classroom

activity. It will not only be read but will be discussed in detail in the

target language, sometimes analyzed and used as a basis for writing

exercises. Intensive reading is text reading or passage reading. In this

reading the learner read the text to get knowledge or analysis. The goal of

this reading is to read shorted text. This reading is done to carry out to

get specific information.

d. Extensive Reading

Extensive reading is used to obtain a general understanding of a

subject and includes reading longer texts for pleasure. The reader wants

to know about something. The reader doesn‘t care about specific or

important information after reading. Usually people read for to keep them

update.

Page 29: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

3. Reading techniques

To achieve the purpose of reading one should read effectively. Olivia

(2006) states that effective reading means being able to read accurately,

efficiently and to understand as much of the pessage as you read in order

to achieve your purpose. To achieve the pupose of reading, people can

apply some reading technique as follows:

a. Survey Reading

Brown (2006:903) says surveying is specialized technique for

getting a mountain top new of article chapter content and it helps to give

a general point of view.

b. Skimming

Skimming is a kind of reading that make our eyes move quickly in

order to get the main idea from the reading material. Skimming enable

people to select content that want to read and to discard that which is an

consequential for their purpose.

c. Scanning

Scanning is reading the text quickly to answer a specific question.

This technique enables people to locate specific information without

reading all the material. Brown (2006:138) states that scanning serves

two functions. It uncoveres relevant information and accelerates your

reading speed.

Page 30: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

13

d. Pre-reading

Pre-reading is a technique that a reader uses before he began to

read the material to improve his comprehension and recall. States that

pre-reading involves only at that part of reading maerials that will tell

you that is about or how it is organize. Further he explains the port on to

look at in reading text book chapters are :

1) Read the tittle.

2) Read the introduction or opening paragraph.

3) Read the first sentence under each heading.

4) Read each boldface heading.

5) Notice any typograpical.

6) Notice any graph or pictures.

7) Read the last paragraph or summary.

Grabe (2002) state that pre-reading activities are very useful in the

reading class because they have been referee to as instruments teachers

can use in the class to active students’ background knowladge, it can be

conduct that pre-reading is very effective because it helps a reader to give

basic information about the organization and the content of the materials.

4. Decriptive text

Descriptive Text is a text which says what a person or a thing is

like. Its purpose is to describe and reveal a particular person, place, or

thing.” According to Friedman (2010), descriptive details mean to grab

the reader’s attention. A descriptive text is considered as the simplest and

Page 31: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

14

easiest writing form compared to narrative, recount, or procedure,

particularly for the beginning writers.

Descriptive is to describe something, such as a person, place, or

thing. Usually when the people want to describe something, for example

in describing people, they often describe each of people in terms of age,

nationality, clothes, hair, face, height,etc. Descriptive has two types or

kinds :

a. Description of a place

When we start to write anything in a description, it should be clear.

As stated by Sandra Mckay that the best wa to describe a place it to

show someone the actual place or to take a picture of it or just give the

characteristics of the place. For example, the place home or a room, so

it is important to give clearly picture of the size and arrangement of the

space involved. Therefore, in describing a place we should be taken

considerations of (a) the location of the object of the place should be

clear, (b) the details should be arranged logically and systematically so

that it is easy for readers to imagine the objects in their minds, and (c)

controlling idea, this is the most important in writing procces, because

if we have a strong controlling idea it can give the paragraph focus.

The grammatical is used in describing a place is subject-verb

agreement and as a notice that since the selection describes and area

thet now exists, all the verbs in the present tense.

b. Description of a person

Page 32: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

15

If you are writing a description of a person, you gather informative

details about that person and the ask your self what these details add up

to. In describing of a person, there are many ways such as his/her face,

color of hair, clothes, skin body shape,etc. In describing person,

however, you are not oblinges to give every single detail about a

persons’ appearance. You can focus on one or two striking features that

convey something about the person’s character.

C. The Concepts of Reading Comprehension

1. Definition of Reading Comprehension

According to Mayor (in Firmansyah, 2015: 236) reading comprehension

is understanding a text that is read, or the process of “constructing meaning”

from a text. Comprehension is a “construction process” because it involves all

of the elements of the reading process working together as a text is read to

create representation of the text in the reader’s mind. Furthermore, Turner

Alexander (1998) points out that reading comprehension involves taking

meaning to a text in order to obtain meaning from the text. Comprehension is

the act or process of comprehending. Besides, Holt (1996: 175) states that

reading comprehension is the minds act or power of understanding.

From definitions above, the researcher concludes that Reading

Comprehension is knowledge to understand the text and know the meaning of

the text.

2. Reading Comprehension Levels

Page 33: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

16

Reading has different levels of comprehension. Burn divided

comprehension into four levels, namely: literal comprehension,

interpretive comprehension, critical comprehension, and creative

comprehension.

a. Literal Comprehension

Literal comprehension is the most obvious comprehension at this

level involves surface meaning. At this level teacher can ask students to

find information and idea that they are explicitly stated in the text. The

readers can usually outline, paraphrase, or summarize the ideas

expressed by the author.

Literal comprehension is the understanding of information and

facts directly stated in the text. It is recognised as the first and most

basic level of comprehension in reading. Students can employ literal

comprehension skills (keywords, skim reading and scanning) to better

locate information efficiently.

According to Rubin (1982: 107) literal understanding requires

lower than three levels of thinking skills think at another level of

understanding. According to him understanding literal indicates the

ability to gain understanding low level using only the information

mentioned explicitly. In this type of literal understanding the reader

only directed at answers to literal questions that students demand

remember what is stated explicitly.

Page 34: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

17

In line with opinion above, Burns (1996: 255) states that

understanding literal is understanding obtained by reading what is

stated directly in the reading text.

b. Interpretive Comprehension

Interpretive reading involves reading between the lines or making

interferences. It is process of deriving ideas that are implied rather than

directly stated.

Burns (1996: 263) interpretive understanding is read between lines

to make inference. Interpretive reading is the process of tracing

unsubstantiated ideas live. Interpretive reading includes making

conclusions, for example about the main idea of the reading, causal

relationships, and analysis of the reading such as finding the purpose of

the author of writing the reading, the interpretation of figurative

language.

c. Critical Comprehension

Critical reading is evaluating within material, comparing the ideas

discovered in the material with known standards and drawing

conclusion about the accuracy appropriate and timelines.

d. Creative Comprehension

It is text involves going beyond the material presentably by author.

It required thinking as they read.

Page 35: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

D. QuizizzApplication

1. Definition Quizizz

Application Quizizz is an online assessment tool as a fun multiplayer

classroom activity that allows all students to practice together with their

computer, Smartphone and I Pad. The main purpose of this research is

evaluating the interesting of students for Arabic class by implement of

Quizizz (Ju, 2018).

According to Samet Bal (2018), quizizz is web-based learning that

significantly affects the learning process among foreign language laerners.

So, the technology based learning like quizizz can create pleasant learning

condition by helping students activate their background knowledge before

reading and evaluate their understanding after reading.

Quizizz is an alternative to Kahoot! and constitutes a great online tool

which helps students check their knowledge and progress in learning. In

Quizizz, the question order is randomized for each student. With Quizizz,

teachers can also assign homework to give students additional practice.

Each question ought to be multiple choice with two or four possible

answers. friendly online formative assessment tools which help teachers

assess students‘ language as well as their curriculum knowledge (Baeta

Bury, 2007).

Page 36: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

19

2. Purpose of Quizizz Application

Quizizz is a wonderful tool similar to Kahoot in that you can make online

quizzes. It is much less competitive than Kahoot and students can actually

see the question on the device. All students work at their own pace and

timers can be turned off. It is a wonderful way to implement BYOD and it

takes the stress away from students seeing a leaderboard (unless you want

them to see it). You can make a Quizizz a homework assignment or have

students complete them in class. You can easily export the results into an

Excel spreadsheet and the program saves the data. You can log in simply

with your (google) email address. This takes away the stress of students

knowing that they are in last place. You can also create your own memes

which are funny pictures. It is also very easyto make your own quizzes by

building from other people's public quizzes. It saves a lot of time in grading.

(Medvedovska, et.al. 2016).

3. The Implementing of Quizizz Application

The implementing of Quizizz application, According to Chandler, (2015)

are :

First, Quizizz is free tool that allows teachers to quickly turn introductory

and review activities into fun, multiplayer activities for students. It works on

any device with a browser, and allows you to create your own activities or

to use those already made by other educators. No usernames or passwords

are required.

Page 37: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

20

Second, Quizizz To ‗play,‘ students simply go to the Quizizz site and

enter the game code provided by their teacher. Once the quiz ends, teachers

are provided a detailed report of student responses that can be downloaded

and saved.

Third, Quizziz has some unique features that most free gamification tools

don‘t. For example, Quizizz is designed to be student-paced, rather than

teacher-driven. The teacher dashboard provides excellent real-time updates

of student progress, but also allows teachers to customize each learning

activity.

Finally, There are options that allow you to jumble the question order,

decide if you want to use timers and leaderboards, and even provide a list of

correct questions and answers at the end of the quiz. Quizizz injects quiz-

taking with a bit of badly needed fun. Equally important, it provides

teachers with excellent feedback on how their students are doing.

indicator was lower than t-table value. It means that there were as a significant

different between the result of pre-test and post-test in reading comprehension.

Based on the result, it concluded that there was improvement of the

students‟ reading comprehension deal with literal and interpretative

comprehension by using Quizizz Application.

B. Discussion

In this section discussed about the result of data collected and analysis to

depict students’ reading comprehension in teaching and learning process by using

Quizizz Application. The description of data collected from reading of the text as

explanation in previous section showed that the students reading comprehension

was improved. It was supported by mean score and percentage of the students’

Page 52: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

35

pre-test and post-test result. Based on the finding above, the use of Quizizz made

students had mean score was higher in comprehension.

Literal comprehension represents the ability of the students to understand the

content of the text (Hidayah N., 2019). This level is the simplest level. It means

that what the reader needs to do is to reproduce the fact as they are related by the

writer. At this level, Questions are factual and detailed. The skills needed for this

level are nothing factual data, sequence, chronology, and enumeration.

The aims in this research was using Quizizz application in improve their

literal and interpretative reading comprehension based on one text, desriptive text.

Reffering to the comparison text between pre-test and pos-test of the pre-

experimental class. There was an increase on students‘ score where pre-test and

post-test. It can be conclued the students score between pre-test and post-test had

a significance different.

For the pre-test and the post-test consisted of four readingdescriptive texts.

Two literal comprehension (Main idea) and two interpretative comprehension.

Which consists of several questions. At the time of pre-test the students

experienced many difficulties in answering the pre-test questions, Because more

students underline the vocabulary they don't know the meaning At the time of the

treatment, for the text descriptve the students knew more about the vocabulary in

the text and they were very easy to read especially for the vocabulary they knew

before inthe text descriptve. And in giving treatment that is in the form of using

Quizizz application in the material of reading text (descriptive text). Students have

many changes to reading and try to find out the words they did not know

Page 53: IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING SKILL THROUGH QUIZIZZ

36

beforehand. In addition, when giving pre-tests to students. This indicates that the

percentage of reading ability is included in the category for descriptive text, and

for post-test students answer questions correctly and underline the vocabulary

they do not know in descriptive text.

Through the result of pre-test and post-test, the result of t-test value of level

significant (p) = 0.05 with degree of freedom in Literal (main idea) (df) = 21; in

interpretative (conclusion) (df) = 21. Indicated t-table value is 1.720 and t-table

Literal (main idea) is 6.868; in interpretative (understanding vocabulary) 4.500.

After the calculating the value t-test analysis, then is it compared with t-table

value. As the result, the researcher finds that the value of t-test is higher than the t-

table. It means that null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and alternative hypothesis

(H1) is accepted because there is difference significant mean score of the test that

have given by researcher using Quizizz application in reading class.

From the discussion above, it can be concluded that using Quizizz application

is one of teaching media that can improve students’ reading comprehension at the

Tenth grade of SMA Negeri 1 Pangkep.

light and the size keeps it from getting stuffed with junk. It has a long shoulder

strap that I like because it keeps the bag hands-free. Its neutral color is fun and

sporty. The design is simple and well-made.
