Abstract

Teaching reading comprehension is a challenge for most teachers in middle schools. It is due to students who are not used to read even in their first language, let alone the second language. Finding suitable techniques and strategies is seen as crucial to increase students' understanding of reading. As one of the web tools, VOKI has been proven to be effective in helping students to be more engaged in the reading comprehension process. Therefore, this study aims to use the summarization technique to improve students' reading narrative texts by using VOKI as the media. The finding from this study suggests that VOKI, as the teaching media, successfully improved students' reading comprehension in a narrative text and participation in the teaching-learning activity. The students enjoyed the process of reading narrative text with VOKI. It successfully made students more creative, improved the students' comprehension of the moral value in the narrative text of year-9 Students of SMPN 1 Sukadana in Academic Year 2020/2021.
