Abstract

This research aims to find out whether there is any influence of probing-prompting learning model towards reading comprehension of English students at the eleventh grade of Senior High School No. 1 Jambi City. This type of research is a quasi-experimental with a total population of 347 people. Through simple random sampling technique, 34 students of Class XI IPS 2 were selected as the control class and 36 students of Class XI IPS 3 were selected as the experimental class.
