ABSTRACT
This study pursuits to realize the impact of live strays on studying comprehension in
Islamic junior excessive schools. Reading comprehension is the manner that calls for the
reader to decipher the language and assemble a significant complete as the writer
intended. It isn't always approximately know-how which means of the text. This studies
makes use of an experimental layout with a test and a manage group. Researchers used
the take a look at as a device on this study. He took the take a look at twice, a pretest and
a post-take a look at. Pretests have been used to evaluate college students' preliminary
expertise of studying comprehension of narrative texts, and post-checks have been used
to degree college students' studying comprehension after receiving treatment. The end
result indicates that the post-take a look at statistics found out good sized variations in
studying comprehension among college students’ with inside the experimental and
manage classes. A pupil taught historically can display this with the aid of using her
common speaker performance. Students taught the use of the -stand-scatter method
(76.43) scored better than the ones taught the use of the direct method (68.21).
Furthermore, from the effects of the t-take a look at, sig. (0.002) < 0.05.

INTRODUCTION
Reading is one of the fundamental ways to build knowledge. It offers several
activities to help you understand written expressions (Aziz, 2020a). A lot of knowledge,
information, or solutions to problems can be obtained through reading. Knowledge
construction is the stage of reading and discovery (Fatoni, 2020). So reading helps you
get a lot of information to increase your knowledge. It is one of the learning tools that is
always included in classroom activities. It's also important to recognize that many
worldwide read books in multiple languages. For various reasons, most people have
learned to read in a second or third language. These include exchanges within and
between heterogeneous multilingual nations, large-scale migration movements, global
 996

transportation, opportunities for further education, and the spread of the broader
language of communication (Aziz, 2020b).
Reading comprehension is one of the crucial capabilities in gaining knowledge of
English. It is debated international that studying comprehension is the maximum critical
overseas language skill. In particular, college students might also additionally want to
examine English fabric for his or her difficulty however now no longer talk the language
(Muhid et al., 2020). Much of our current thinking about analyzing focuses generally at
the motive of the activity. Even if a project is executed for fun, it's miles nevertheless
intentional (Vanderplank et al., 1996).
Also, maximum college students aren't interested by reading. This scenario is due to
the fact instructors educate college students monotonously, making the studying method
passive and inefficient. It is also a problem that the student's reading motivation is low,
and it is difficult to understand the sentences due to the small vocabulary. It is tough to
reply the questions. Students nonetheless have trouble with a few vital elements of
reading. Determine the generality of a textual content, locate the primary idea, recognize
the motive of the textual content and unique linguistic capabilities of the textual content,
etc.
Based at the above problem, the authors advise a 2-live 2-stray technique. This
technique makes college students extra lively in magnificence and improves their
analyzing comprehension. In general, Two-Stay Two-Stray is a pastime wherein college
students continue to be on a crew even as the alternative are trying to find facts from
every other crew. Two Stay Two Stray is certainly considered one among his co-studying
strategies developed (Shaw & Kagan, 1992). The TSTS method is basically a set dialogue
model. Each member of the organization has their responsibility ( college students
become 'scatterers,' and the alternative of her college students become 'stayers' (Al
Halim, 2019). This approach makes use of student-focused sports instead of teacher-
focused sports. So, Two Stay Two Stray is a collection discussion, and the contributors of
this organization will encompass her 4 students. The percentage the outcomes in their
discussions as sojourners, and each of them as strays search for discussions in different
groups.
Desrina Elita, Zainil, and Desmawati Radjab labored at the topic 'Improving
analyzing comprehension of textual content counting college students via the provided
Two Stay Two Stray (Tsts) technique.' Implementing TSTS strategies improves college
students' analyzing comprehension of mentioned texts (Elita & Radjab, 2013). Other
recent studies have shown a significant difference between students who received and
did not receive the guidance of two sojourners and her two vagrants. Using her two-stay-
two-interspersed technique in the classroom encouraged students to express themselves
positively in school. It is exciting. Because this way, you don't feel embarrassed when you
want to talk about grammatical errors. You can also show and share moral lessons,
average thoughts on the story, reviews on the protagonist, etc. TSTS is a group discussion
where students are open to the views of other groups (Lesia & Angraini, 2018).

Definition of Reading Comprehension

Besides listening, speaking, and writing, analyzing is a critical talent in language
learning. The number one intention of analyzing sports is to apprehend the means of the
message content material with inside the language. (Aziz, 2018) Argued that analyzing
may be regarded as an interactive system among the reader and the text. In different
words, analyzing makes experience of a text, permitting readers to derive thoughts and
statistics from what they read. Some of them can be important, and others can be trivial.
Reading is knowing written text. Reading allows us achieve our research and research
many stuff approximately the arena via analyzing (Jaya, 2021). Reading provides students
with a lot of meaningful information. (Anders, 2019) found that reading comprehension
is a complex process with success in many skills.
Reading comprehension is incorporating understanding into texts to extract which
means from them. The technique calls for the reader to decipher the language and
assemble a significant entire as the writer intended. It isn't approximately expertise the
significance of the text. (Haerazi & Irawan, 2020) Added that reading comprehension is
not just about reading aloud or reading aloud but also understanding the meaning of a
text.

Purposes of Reading
(Harmer, 2001) suggest numerous functions of studying: studying to affirm
expectancies and extract precise facts, studying for conversation tasks, studying for
popular understanding, and studying for details. Reading for popular comprehension
(knowledge) and distinctive comprehension (characteristic and discourse). The cause of
those is to discover expectancies: To this end, college students have interaction in
studying to discover expectancies approximately the facts they consider is contained with
inside the textual content. This method specializes in the advent section and encourages
college students to assume the content material of the textual content, giving them an
interesting and motivating studying goal. Extract precise facts: When college students are
requested to study a textual content to extract specific facts, they need to see the query or
project to reply or entire earlier than studying the textual content. Once you've got this,
you may study it any manner you want. I want to test the textual content and extract the
essential facts for the query. Communication Task: Teachers can layout communicative
interactions in studying classes. The trainer divides the magnificence in 1/2 of. You may
be given a textual content in advance with inside the path and requested to study it. If the
alternative 1/2 of asks them a query, they could solution it. Have them write down the
textual content even as answering the questions. General Understanding: This goal entails
college students soaking up simplest the textual content's principal points.
Readers are simplest searching out what they want to apprehend the complete
textual content. It consists of a analyzing of diverse kinds, specially analyzing for fun. Read
novels, news, sports, etc. In-Depth Understanding: Information: This analyzing interest
pursuits for college students to remedy the troubles they study from the textual content.
Many texts are useful for distinct comprehension work. Students could have a completely
unique possibility to observe the written English language in detail, getting to know extra

997
 998

approximately the issue be counted and usage. Understanding Detail: Function and
Discourse: Students should apprehend the shape of the textual content and apprehend
the capabilities performed. In doing so, college students can recognize the discourse
shape contained with inside the textual content and should be capable of decipher it to
apprehend the textual content fully. Based at the description, the writer concluded that
the pupil should extract statistics from the textual content and locate all of the statistics
to reply the question. If you need to apprehend the textual content, you should
additionally grasp the grammar of the textual content.
Understanding Two-Stay Two-Stray
The Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) technique was developed by (Kagan, 1989). It may
be carried out to any situation for any degree of college students. The Two Stay Two Stray
shape lets in organization individuals to inform different organization individuals of the
consequences of organization discussions. Here college students paintings in groups or
groups. They are allowed to invite their pals approximately their social lifestyles even as
interacting with others in place of running individually. In different words, making use of
TSTS strategies creates interplay and two-manner conversation among college students
in place of being attentive to a trainer or running alone. Students can solicit, discuss, and
proportion reviews amongst organization individuals (Huda, 2013).
For two stays and two strays, students are divided into four groups. Next, the
teacher will give the students readings for group discussion and set a time for the group
discussion. Each group has something to discuss. When time runs out, two of her four
students leave the group and move to another group to review the information. While
others stay in the group, they explain their material to other groups walking around them.
This teaching and learning process allows students to share their thoughts on the material
discussed. This method will enable students to share and discuss experiences while
gathering information (Fatoni, 2020).
Two steps continue to be strays. First, the trainer divides the scholars into
businesses of 4 of her college students, who're heterogeneous businesses. Second, the
trainer offers every institution dialogue substances for dialogue with the participants of
every institution. Third: The scholar works cooperatively in her institution of 4. Its reason
is to permit college students to take part actively with inside the concept process. Fourth,
after completion, of hers from every institution left the institution to go to the alternative
institution. Fifth, the 2 human beings with inside the institution have the venture of
sharing their paintings and facts with different institution guests. Sixth, the visitor excuses
himself and returns to his institution to record findings from the alternative institution.
Seventh: The institution consents and discusses the effects in their paintings. Week 8:
Each institution offers their paintings (Huda, 2013).
Here is the scheme of the One Stay Two Stray method:

STAY STRAY

METHOD
In this approach, every institution (together with 4 participants) has the possibility
to proportion the consequences of the institution dialogue with the alternative companies
via way of means of sending two "representatives" to the alternative companies with
inside the class. Given. Two of her different participants continue to be with inside the
institution and host "guests" who come from certainly considered one among hers with
inside the different institution to are searching for information. (Sihotang, 2017) States
that the subsequent technique exemplifies how this method may be used to educate
studying comprehension. The trainer divides the elegance into six businesses. Each
institution includes four individuals (assuming the route has 24 of her students). The
trainer distributes the equal quick studying to every institution. Each institution member
have to underline hard phrases with inside the studying text. Then they are trying to assist
others recognize complex phrases through the use of dictionaries or explaining the that
means at once to their friends. Each institution sends individuals as "representatives" to
the businesses to trade data approximately the read-aloud text. For example, Group 1
sends individuals to Group 2, which sends individuals to Group 3. Other businesses do the
equal.
The individual staying with the institution "greets" the 2 visitors and offers facts
approximately the institution. Teachers ought to make sure that everybody with inside
the elegance has an possibility to talk on the identical time. So you want to strike a chord
or clap your palms to signify that a person desires to speak or stop. In this case, the trainer
is the timekeeper. All "representatives" then go back to their authentic institution and
percentage with their institution the facts obtained from the opposite institution. The
trainer then publicizes that each one college students have to take a man or woman quiz,
and every institution member submits their rankings to the institution earlier than all
rankings are combined. Each institution have to gain a complete rating of at the least 300.
Each pupil then takes a man or woman studying quiz. In this quiz, you have to solution
her 10 questions on the studying textual content discussed. After the trainer offers the
man or woman rankings, they integrate their rankings with the rankings of her different
institution members. We can finish that this collaborative method includes college
students transferring across the room even as operating with classmates to remedy
troubles and solution questions. It additionally permits each pupil to 'be the trainer' they
love. It additionally permits each pupil to 'be the trainer' they love. When college students
percentage their thoughts and notion methods with others, it allows them advantage a
deeper know-how of the standards at hand.
Research Design
The study method was a quasi-experimental design. Although quasi-experimental
designs lack randomization, other strategies have been employed to achieve the same

999
 1000

control over unrelated variables (Ary et al., 2010). In the study, researchers used
quantitative research in a quasi-experimental fashion as the design. A quasi-experimental
is a research approach that uses two groups, an experimental group and a control group,
where the experimental group is the class that receives treatment and the control group
receives no treatment. Researchers chose her two classes in this study as an experimental
and control group.
Research Instrument
Researchers used the test as a tool in this study. He took the test twice, a pretest and
a post-test. Pretests were used to assess students' initial knowledge of reading
comprehension of narrative texts, and post-tests were used to measure students' reading
comprehension after receiving treatment. The reading comprehension test administered
by students consisted of reading and comprehending narrative texts to answer multiple-
choice questions. The exam was conducted in a limited amount of time. Students had to
complete the task in 120 minutes.
Data Collection Technique
The records series approach utilized by researchers on this look at is a pretest
performed at the primary meeting. It became meant to offer early understanding
approximately students' cap potential to examine narrative texts earlier than present
process remedy. Both groups (experimental and manipulate groups) underwent a
pretest. The remedy became as long as 3 meetings. The lessons have been an experimental
organization and a manipulate organization. Experiments have been achieved with inside
the Two-Stay Two-Stray (TSTS) and conventionally with inside the manipulate
organization. The system for coaching with the TSTS approach and coaching with the
traditional method.
Data Analysis Technique
Researchers used IBM SPSS Statistic 20 for Windows to analyze student reading test
data. Additionally, in the SPSS program, researchers use the independent-samples t-test
to identify significant mean differences in post-test scores of students between
experimental and control groups.
Finding
During the study, researchers extended the material to students via narrative texts.
Treatment of experimental and control classes. In an experimental class, we implemented
a two-stay-two-stray. In the control class, no two-stay-two strays were used. Researchers
then used a multiple-choice test to measure students' reading comprehension.
The description of pretest score
In this part, the researchers provided the outcomes of comparing the texts the
scholars study withinside the pretest. Pretest descriptive data are proven in Table 1
below.

 1001

Table 1 Descriptive Statistics of pretest

Table 1 indicates the rankings of the scholars earlier than treatment. There turned
into a similarity among the most and minimal rankings for every organization. The
minimal rating turned into 40, and the most rating turned into 80. On the opposite hand,
the approach for every organization had been different. The imply rating for the pretest
experiments turned into 59.46, and the imply rating for the pretest controls turned into
58.21.
The description of the post-test score
In this part, the researchers supplied the outcomes of the scholars analyzing the
narrative on a post-check. Post-check descriptive records are proven in Table 2 below.

Table 2 Description of post-test

Table 2 shows the scores of the students after receiving treatment. The
experimental post-test minimum was 60, and the control post-test minimum was 50. The
maximum control post-test score was 85, and the maximum experimental post-test score
was 90. On the other hand, the means of each group were different. The average post-test
experimental score was 76.43, and the average post-test control score was 68.21.
Data Analysis
Hypothesis checking out is the closing step to locating out the solution to the studies
speculation. From the speculation test, whether or not Two-live Two-stray undoubtedly
affected college students or now no longer might be found. Ho is well-known if the huge
price (tailed) is better than 0, 05 and rejected if the huge price is decrease than 0, 05. In
contrast, Ha is received if the significant value (tailed) is decrease than 0, 05 and
disregarded if the huge price is better than 0, 05. To examine the information from the
college students' studying test, the researcher used SPSS 20 to get the end result. The end
result may be visible as comply with in tabel 3:

1001
 1002

Table 3 Independent Samples Test

Table three suggests that the want for records could be very high. It may be visible
from the Sig cost of 0.002. Data are taken into consideration full-size if sig. (two-tailed) is
much less than 0.05. The end result become Sig 0.002 < 0.05, and we should finish that
the records have been full-size. It approach that the implemented 2-stay-2-vagabond
method notably affected students' analyzing comprehension, which become enough to
reject the null hypothesis. The desk above suggests the calculation of the pupil analyzing
imply distinction take a look at among the pretest and post-take a look at records whilst
the importance or full-size distinction (two-tailed) possibility cost is 0.002, primarily
based totally at the output of the t-take a look at.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Based on the results, students responded positively to learning in TSTS. Therefore,
as their learning progressed, their reading improved, and they achieved positive results
in their social relationships with their friends. We were able to have a significant
interdependent relationship. As a result, their reading comprehension improved from
before they were taught the TSTS technique. This study also showed that these students
responded positively to using the TSTS to teach reading comprehension. Not only did they
learn how to acquire more knowledge, but they also learned how to interact with each
other. It taught them to value the opinions and ideas of others.
Based on the results of the above studies, researchers believe that TSTS helps
students achieve better academic performance and positively impacts social relationships
in the classroom. TSTS can produce positive outcomes in terms of student social, attitude,
and academic performance. This exciting technique encourages students to participate in
discussions, think more critically, and be more willing to take responsibility for their
learning. As (Slavin, 1995) stated that collaborative learning in TSTS emphasizes activity
and interaction among students to motivate each other and help them master the learning
material and achieve satisfactory learning outcomes. Said to be a learning model.
Additionally, the authors noted that students had positive interdependencies during
group activities. They discussed the text together and drew conclusions or answers based
on the results of their discussion. In this case, the authors advised not to work individually
to obtain reasonable decisions or similar opinions from the team. Classroom conditions
indicated that students could interact well with each other in group work. They actively
expressed and solicited their thoughts and ideas regarding the content of the reading text.
They sat face to face and discussed the meaning of the text, so they communicated well.
These activities affected the capacity within the group. They could actively learn in groups
without involving teachers and work individually on answering questions while
discussing in groups. It was also individually responsible for.

1002
 1003

However, using the TSTS in reading instruction, teachers acted as controllers,

counselors, and motivators. Teachers did not actively discuss the material but only
provided discussion guidelines. Next, students had to explore the material independently
or in groups to obtain more information. Teachers only help students when they have
problems, so TSTS stimulates students' creativity. I was able to do it. Thus the students
themselves created a highly conducive learning situation in the classroom.
It may be very distinct from the conventional coaching and studying system on top
of things classrooms, wherein college students have a character studying system that is
predicated on motives from the instructor. The instructor is the middle or number one
useful resource for obtaining expertise there. Therefore, college students are passive and
handiest acquire substances from teachers. Furthermore, now no longer all college
students are actively worried in locating which means or discussing the passages they
study. Only stimulated college students are a hit in class. This scenario negatively
influences character overall performance and development due to the fact college
students aren't advocated to examine collectively and remedy issues with every other.
The 2d dialogue offers with the maximum tough components of studying comprehension.
Data evaluation suggests that parts, inferences, and information are tough to understand
textual content. To solution reasoning questions correctly, college students need to be
capable of summarize statements from the textual content itself wherein the solution isn't
explicitly stated. For extra info: If you do not study the textual content carefully, you could
now no longer get the precise solution. The 3 factor explains that scholars taught in TSTS
expressed nice evaluations approximately the effect of this studying version on their
overall performance. It turned into evidenced with the aid of using her 4 classes of the
questionnaire: Strategy, Positive Relationships, Motivation, and Material Percentages.
Most college students strongly agreed together along with her use of the TSTS method in
phrases of strategy, because it turned into prepared in a set as opposed to a character
fashion. Also, every group consisted of college students from distinct cap potential levels,
genders, and own circle of relatives backgrounds, so the scholars had nice relationships
and proper interactions with inside the group. Brilliant college students shared their
expertise with much less smart college students. It created an awesome environment with
inside the institution at some stage in the studying system and advanced robust
teamwork.
In terms of motivation, students mostly agreed that using the TSTS encouraged them
to learn to read and write. In addition, students could learn from each other and together
during group discussions. They were also very excited to discuss with other students from
other groups. At the end of the lesson, the students received exciting rewards such as
chocolates and candies. These rewards also had the effect of further increasing
motivation. It is supported by (Slavin, 2010) and (Al Halim, 2019), where group rewards
are essential for collaborative learning effectiveness. Motivate students to pay more
attention to understand the text better and get higher scores. They were also motivated
to learn by this model because it gave them an equal chance of success, boosted their
confidence, and improved their academic performance.

1003
 1004

The students also made positive comments on the materials provided. The text of
the story served as material. The passage was familiar to my students, so I encouraged
them to study it. Thus, it can be said that the student's reaction to her introduction of TSTS
into reading comprehension learning was positive. As a result, students not only
continued to improve their reading skills but also had good results in their social
relationships with their classmates. Therefore, according to the results of this study,
teaching-learning using TSTS is effective, which was also supported by previous studies
by other researchers.

CONCLUSION
Analysis of the post-test statistics discovered good sized variations in studying
comprehension amongst college students with inside the experimental and manage
classes. A scholar taught historically can exhibit this through her common talking overall
performance. Students taught the usage of the two-stand two-scatter technique (76.43)
scored better than the ones taught the usage of the direct technique (68.21). Furthermore,
from the outcomes of the t-check, sig. (0.002) < 0.05. it approach that this look at indicates
that the 2-stay-2-vagus technique is effective. From this look at, researchers determined
that the Two-Stay Two-Stray manner advanced scholar overall performance and
reinforced college students' intellectual capability to proportion understanding with pals
and maintain the institution responsible for taking over.
