Abstract

This research is based on observations in class XI MAN Tapsel, which showed that some students still face difficulties in learning English, particularly in reading skills. To address this issue, this study applied the Number Head Together (NHT) strategy in teaching reading. The aim of the research is to determine whether the implementation of the NHT strategy has a significant effect on students' reading skills or not. This study was a quantitative research with a pre-test and post-test design involving experimental and control groups. The population consisted of all XI grade students at MAN Tapsel, with a sample of 50 students divided into the experimental group (XI1, n=25) and the control group (XI3, n=25). Data were collected using reading tests administered before and after the application of the NHT strategy. The data were analyzed using a t-test with the help of SPSS version 26. The results showed that the average score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. The mean score of the experimental group is 83.04, while the control group mean is 70.56. Moreover, the t-value was greater than the t-table value (4.311>1.677). Therefore, this study concludes that there is a significant difference in students' reading ability before and after learning using the Number Head Together strategy in class XI at MAN Tapsel.
