Abstract

The purposes of this study are to determine the more effective approach between: (1) the scientific and conventional approaches, (2) the genre-based and conventional approaches, (3) the scientific and genre-based approaches, (4) the scientific, genre-based and conventional approaches in the teaching of reading comprehension of narrative texts. The research was quasi-experimental with randomized pretest-posttest control group design. The results of the study show that (1) the scientific approach is more effective than the conventional approach in the teaching of reading comprehension of narrative texts with sig (p) ≤ 0.05; (2)the genre-based approach is more effective than the conventional approach in the teaching of reading comprehension of narrative texts, with sig (p) ≤ 0.05; (3)the scientific approach is more effective than the genre-based approach  in the teaching of reading comprehension of narrative texts, with sig (p) ≤ 0.05; and (4)the scientific approach is the most effective of the three approaches under study.
