× This study aims to find out whether Students Team-Achievement Division (STAD) and Team Games Tournament (TGT) improve the students’ reading skill and to identify the challenges of the implementation of STAD and TGT in teaching reading at the eighth grade students of SMPN 1 Sidorejo in academic year of 2013/2014. This classroom action research was conducted from 27th July to 29th August, 2013 at the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Sidorejo. I conducted one cycle of action research and the cycle consisted of a series of steps, namely: planning the action, implementing the action, observing the action, and reflecting the observation result. The data of the research are collected through observation, interview, documents, and test. Then, the qualitative data are analyzed by assembling the data, coding the data, comparing the data, building interpretations, reporting the outcomes. The quantitative data are analyzed by comparing the mean scores of pretest and posttest. The result of the action indicates that the students’ reading skill improved as shown in the result of both the observation on the students activity during the actions and their pre-test and post-test mean scores. The improvement of the students’ reading skill includes the students are able to: (1) identify main idea, (2) infer meaning of words, (3) identify inference, (4) identify reference, and (5) determine specific information about the text. From the reading comprehension test, the students’ pre-test mean score was 43.77 increasing to 71.01 in the posttest. Though, there are 4 challenges during the research, they are: (1) the domination of high achiever students in the group, (2) the need to prepare different seating arrangement, material, and teaching style in every meeting, (3) It was difficult to keep students concentration in a long time, and (4) Cooperative learning are consuming a lot of time. It can be concluded that teaching reading by cooperative learning, especially STAD and TGT, could improve the students’ reading skill. It is important to note that the preparation of appropriate lesson plan and the material based on the curriculum that make the students attracted is needed. STAD and TGT could be applied in teaching and learning process. Hopefully, by applying STAD and TGT the students can achieve the optimum reading comprehension. I hopes that what I had done will give the English teachers inspiration to conduct STAD and TGT in their classroom.
