Abstract

This study was an attempt to utilize the effect written retelling technique on students’ reading comprehension seen from their motivation. To get the data, the researcher applied the quasi-experiment factorial research design. The first-grade students of SMAN Almunawariyah Bululawang Malang which consisted of 39 students were chosen as the sample. They were classified into two groups. The experimental group taught using written retelling technique, while the second group got an oral retelling technique. Pretest, posttest, and questionnaire were implemented as the instruments. The result of two way ANOVA showed that students taught using written retelling technique have a significant difference in score than oral retelling technique. It was found that the significant value of the study was lower than the critical value (0.026 < 0.05). The researcher also found that there was a significant difference in score between high motivation students and low motivation students in reading comprehension. It was found that the significant value of the study was lower than the critical value (0.00<0.05). While in case of interaction, the researcher found that there was no interaction between the written retelling technique and students motivation. The significance value of the study was higher than the critical value (0.258>0.05). It could be concluded that the written retelling technique was effective to be implemented in the reading process, but it did not have any interaction when combining with the motivation level of the students.
