Abstract

This pre-experimental research aims to investigate the effectiveness of utilizing the Suggestopedia method, complemented by text-based learning, in enhancing students' reading comprehension at the Boarding School of Yayasan Gemilang Bersama. The study involved a sample of students from a specific class, selected through purposive sampling. The research design employed a pre-test and post-test approach to assess the students' reading comprehension levels before and after the intervention. The research intervention encompassed a carefully structured teaching approach based on the principles of the Suggestopedia method, which emphasizes a relaxed learning environment, the use of music, and a combination of suggestive and analytical techniques. Additionally, the intervention incorporated text-based learning, focusing on utilizing diverse reading materials such as literary texts, articles, and multimedia resources to enhance students' engagement and understanding. Data was collected through pre-test and post-test assessments and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students' reading comprehension scores after the intervention, suggesting the positive impact of the Suggestopedia method supported by text-based learning. Furthermore, students expressed positive perceptions of the intervention, emphasizing increased motivation, enjoyment, and confidence in comprehending various reading materials. This research contributes valuable insights to the field of language education, specifically in the domain of reading comprehension strategies. The integration of the Suggestopedia method and text-based learning offers a promising pedagogical approach that educators and language instructors can consider in fostering students' reading comprehension skills. However, further research with larger sample sizes and control groups is recommended to confirm the generalizability of these findings and validate the efficacy of this innovative teaching method.
