English Department Faculty of Letters State University of Malang. Advisor Prof. Moh. Adnan Latief Ph.D. Key Words literal reading reading comprehension problem the r etelling technique increase students achievement in reading comprehension An observation on the teaching and lear ning of a classroom in both SMP 3 Situbondo and MTs Nurul Huda Malang revealed a problem of reading. Through further interviews with English teachers I found out that students faced the problem of literal reading specifically they failed in finding the main idea and details of descriptive and recount texts because of feeling hard to under stand what the English text said and therefore the teachers employed translating and using dictionaries in the class. Despite the attempt the comprehension remained poor thereby a strategy of reading was proposed that was retelling technique. This research aimed at increasing students r eading comprehension by employing the retelling technique. This research administered Classroom Action Research (CAR) especially following four stages of planning acting observing and r eflecting so that the classroom problem could be solved. The planning stage covered the designing of the retelling technique to be employed in the classr oom that was arranged into a teaching scenar io. The teaching scenar io cover ed four major activities that were done respectively intr oducing topic reading a text retelling the text and answering reading comprehension test. Based on the teaching scenario the acting stage was administered. It was followed by observing the collecting of data which include students achievement in reading comprehension and teachers opinion towards the applicability of the technique for further use and thus the sources of data were both students and English teachers.

The data obtained were compared with the targeted criteria of success. The findings of the fir st cycle showed the increase of students achievement in reading comprehension had met the criteria of success which were set for both lower and upper group. The lower group performed better after employing the retelling technique (67%) and the upper group as well ( 75%). In fact the result could not meet the expectation of the English teacher thereby the evaluation of the strategy was done and then the second cycle was conducted with the revised planning. The r esult of the second cycle showed that it could not outperform the result from the first cycle but still could manage to meet the criteria of success lower group (50%) and upper gr oup (54.5%). The discussion over the findings of the retelling technique in increasing students reading comprehension covered three major aspects of retelling technique underlying the success of the research 1) activating prior knowledge 2) reconstr ucting meaning from the text and 3) becoming a r eading str ategy
