Abstract

This research investigates the effect of the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) method on students' reading ability. The research was conducted at SMP N 5 Bengkulu City with eighth-grade students during the 2024/2025 academic year. The CIRC method, a collaborative learning approach, was implemented to address challenges such as students' difficulty in understanding English texts, limited vocabulary, lack of confidence, and low interest in reading. The research employed a true-experimental design to examine the impact of the CIRC method on students' reading comprehension. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for educators and contribute to the existing literature on effective strategies for teaching reading skills.
