Abstract :

This research aims to find out the significance difference in the reading comprehension of students taught through original NHT and through modified NHT based on CTL. This is a quasi-experimental research design that conducts a quantitative method. The subjects of this research are two classes of SMPN 30 Bandar Lampung in. Furthermore, the researcher collected the data using reading test in form of multiple choices. Then, the researcher analyzed using independent sample t-test. The finding shows that there is a significant difference between experimental and control class with the significant level 0.015. Hence, this suggests that teaching reading using modified NHT based on CTL can improve students reading comprehension achievement.
