School The Integrated and Segregated Skill Class Settings to Improve Reading more

The study will focus on the effects of integrated and segregted class settings to improve reading to students. One curriculum states that teaching of English must be integrated. However, there are still some schools applying segregated class setting in improving the students` skills. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to find out (1) whether integrated and segregated class settings could improve students` reading skill (2) which class settings should be applied to encourage students in reading. The nonrandomized control-group pretest-posttest design was used and 60 out of 128 students were purposively taken as sample. The activities were reading aloud and identifying topic and information in texts. The finding showed the segregated class setting could improve reading skill more than the integrated class setting did. Teachers were suggested to apply segregated class setting to encourage students` reading interest. This session will provide strategies for encouraging reading in segregated class setting.
