In the 2006 KTSP curriculum of Junior High School, the ultimate objective of English instruction is to develop English communicative competence in the form of oral and written language, namely: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Reading itself contains the activity to understand the text and information in the text. In order to understand or to get points cannot from be text, we need from comprehension for it. Therefore, reading separated comprehension. In Junior High School, the students reading skill is crucial. Reading is one of language skill which should be developed in the teachinglearning process in Junior High School. According to Johnson and Pearson in Darmiyati (2007:16), there are two causes of low learning English reading achievement. They are coming from external and internal factors. Teaching method as external factors used by the teachers also influence the success of the learning a of English reading. Many Teaching method is also one factor that creates tense classroom. teachers in SMP N 1 Jaten, Karanganyar still use direct instruction method in a classroom. According to Borrich (1996:224), direct instruction method is a teacher-centered teachers are the method in which major information
students how to use the language to communicate, both in oral and written forms. One of the aims of English instruction in Junior High School is to achieve functional literacy. According to Kern (2000: 304), functional literacy in English instruction is not only learn about the grammar (language usage), but also focus on how students can use the grammar in real life to communicate with other. Reading is one of the ways to communicate in written forms. Reading implies both a writer and a reader. A writer puts his ideas onto the page and the reader tries to understand the authors meaning and thinks about what he has read. Because it is used to communicate, when reading one needs to figure out what is being read. In other words, one should the comprehend According or to understand ideas.
Aebersold and Field (1997: 15), reading is what happens when people look at a text and assign meaning to the written symbols in that text. Moreover, William (1999: 12) defines reading as a process whereby one looks at and understand what has been written. From both definitions, it can be concluded that reading is a process of assign meaning to get information by comprehending the written text. Comprehending is the ability of the reader to understand and gain meaning from what has been read in written texts. Reading and

providers. This method is focused on providing verbal explanation by the teacher to large group of the students in order to make them understand the material optimally. In teaching reading, direct asks instruction the students method to is quite the passive and tense since the teacher just translate reading text and do the workheet in the textbook.
While direct instruction method is a teacher-centered method in which teachers are the major information providers, Buzz Groups method offers a method which makes the students as a center of the teaching learning process rather than the teacher-centered. Buzz Groups method is a small discussion group formed for a specific task such as generating ideas, solving problems or reaching a common viewpoint on a topic within a specific period of time. Large groups may be divided into buzz groups in order to cover different aspects of a topic or maximize participation. Unlike direct instruction method that focused on reading translation and task, Buzz Groups method allows students to be actively involved in reading discussion, fostering among positive groups, interdependence and developing
by motivation. Motivation is one of the internal factors that is very important in teaching and learning process. According to Weiner in Elliot, et al (2000: 332) states that motivation is an internal state that arouses us to action, pushes us in particular direction, and keep us engaged in certain activities. It assumes that motivation has a great role in determining the success of learning process to reach the goal of learning and the students activeness. It means that the or students with low motivation process can unmotivated students learnings students high
probably will face difficulties in learning while the with motivation or highly motivated students reach objectives easily. In this study, the writer focuses on the two teaching methods above, direct instruction method and buzz groups method. In order to investigate the effects of teaching methods, direct instruction method and buzz groups method, viewed from the students learning motivation to teach reading comprehension, the writer adopts an experimental research. Buzz Groups method used as experimental variable and direct instruction method as control variable. Meanwhile, is placed reading as a comprehension

recognize words, but also the ability to comprehend and evaluate the meaning of written text. Similarly, Petty (1980: 207) states that reading is a complex process to get information from the written text, in which the ability to pronounce and comprehend the written text is needed to interpret sign, letters, or symbol by assigning meaning in receiving ideas and intuition from the author via printed words.
According to Nunan (1989: 32), reading is a process of decoding written symbol, working from smaller units (individual letter) to larger ones (words, clauses, and sentences). In other words, it is a process of understanding the meaning of written forms. Furthermore, Nuttal (1988: 4) states that reading is a process of communication between the writer and the reader. Here, the writer encodes the message in his mind. It might be an idea, a fact, a feeling, and argument while the reader decodes the message from the text. Based on the definitions above, it can be concluded that reading is a process of interaction between the reader and the text which includes constant process of guessing, decoding written symbols that involves reacting to a written text in order to get message or information from a written text. Reading and understanding are related to each other. Reading itself contains the activity to understand the text and information in the text. In order to understand or to get points from text, we need comprehension for it. Therefore, reading cannot be separated from comprehension. According to Kennedy (1981: 192), reading comprehension as a thought process through which reader become aware an idea, understand it in terms of their experiential background, and interpret it in relation to their own needs and purposes. On the other hand, Smith and Robbinson (1980: 54) state
5
that reading with comprehension is the understanding, evaluating and utilizing of information and idea through an interaction between the reader and the author. Similarly, Grellet (1998: 182) states that reading comprehension means understanding a written text to extract the required information from it as efficiently as possible. To be able to comprehend a text, reader must use appropriate reading skills that consists of the microskills and macroskills of reading comprehension. According to Kennedy (1981 : 224) the skills of comprehension are grouped under three major divisions of reading : literal reading, inferential reading and critical reading. Based on the curriculum of Junior High School and level of reading comprehension, the researcher can get some indicators required to the students, they are literal reading (finding word meaning, finding detailed information of the text) and inferential reading (finding reference, determining main idea, and determining implied information of the text). Teaching is a process of helping and guiding their but students to learn and develop students knowledge. also Teaching their
reading is not only giving a text to the building consciousness of reading skill. Teaching reading especially to read English text is very in important. reading However, there of are the many students that have low motivation class because teachers poor method in presenting
and carrying out reading activities may appear. Therefore, teacher should be skillful in motivating learners by selecting and devising material, and choosing appropiate method. One of the challenge methods in teaching reading comprehension is buzz groups method. Buzz groups method is a method of groups discussion that consists of four to six students within a specific period of time to respond to course-related questions in order to get ideas that are generated with the feedback and discussed by whole group. Buzz groups method is very useful for large groups to get feedback from a large number of students on specific topic in a formalised way and within specific time. The procedure of this research consists of generating idea, solving a problem or reaching a common viewpoint on the topic, then followed by whole class discussions in larger groups to summarize the topic. Cameron several says that there are of Buzz Groups advantages
d. Buzz Groups method also has the advantages of breaking the lesson into more easily absorbed sections. Another Direct teaching method is Instruction Method. Direct
Instruction method is a method which is widely used by the teachers in the classroom. Direct intruction methods is a method emphasizes from on verbal to the explanation teacher
students in order to master the learning material optimally that consits of the teachers explaining a new concept or skill to large group of the students, having them test their understanding by practicing under teacher direction, and encouraging them to continue to practice under teacher guidance. According to Slavin (1997, 231249), the procedure of direct instruction method is as follows: a. Teacher states the objectives of the lesson. b. Teacher activates students prerequisite knowledge. c. Teacher presents the new material by giving the students explanation, models, illustration, and clear instructions. d. Teacher conducts learning probes in order question. e. Teacher provides guided practice. f. Teacher practice. independent

Besides the teaching method, the students reading skill is also influenced by motivation. Motivation is one of the internal factors that is very important in teaching and learning process.Motivation is an energy change
within the person to do something for the sake of a certain goal. This energy can be from inside or outside the students themselves, or called by intrinsic ans extrinsic motivation. In this case, motivation means an inducement for students to study hard and practice more to achieve better competence from time to time. Based on this explanation, the writer would like to put the theories into indicators of motivation that students have. The indicators are given as follow: Intrinsic Motivation a. Interest in learning English b. Diligentness and seriousnoss in learning English c. Self activeness in learning English d. Self autonomous in learning Extrinsic Motivation a. Teachers methodology b.

In methods parallel used with as this research, related to the effectiveness of teaching the independent variables and the motivation as the moderator variable in teaching reading
cause-and-effect
comprehension for the eighth grade students of SMPN 1 Jaten, Karanganyar, the writer determined the experimental research methodology. The research design used in this research was a simple factorial design. Cohen, Manion, and Morrison (2007: 281) state that factorial designs also have to take account of the interaction of the independent variables. This research used three kinds of variables. They were: (1) independent variables; (2) dependent variable; and (3) moderator variable. The independent variable in this research was the teaching methods. The teaching methods were the factors of this study manipulated, measured, and selected to know the effect and the relationship to the reality investigated. The teaching methods used in this research were Buzz Groups Method and the Direct Instruction Methods. These two different methods were clung to two groups of students. Buzz Groups Method functioned as an experimental group whereas the other one functioned as a control one. Population is the group of interest to the researcher, the group to which she or he would like the results of the study to be generalized (Gay, 1992: 125). In this research, the target population of this study was all of the eighth grade students of SMPN 1 Jaten, Karanganyar in the 2012/2013 academic year. The eighth grade students of SMPN 1 Jaten, Karanganyar were

Sample is a number of individuals for a study in such a way that the individuals represent the larger group from which they were selected (Gay, 1992: 125). The writer decided to take only 68 students (34 students from VIIIE and 34 students from VIII-F) or two classes from all of population as the sample of this study. In dividing each of the class into the group of high and low motivation, the writer took 17 students who grade had high motivation (Experimental the writer and 17 students who had low motivation from VIII-E class). 17 Furthermore, took
students who had high motivation and 17 students who had low motivation from grade VIII-F (Control class). In determining researcher sampling assignment. research.

cluster sampling is a sampling technique that chooses the sample of study by taking certain classes that have similar characteristics. So, among the seven classes, the writer decided to take only two classes (VIII-E and VIII-F) randomly as the sample of the study, which consisted of 68 students. In this case, 34 students were taken from class VIII-E and 34 students from class VIII-F. This numbr of sample was considered representative enough used as a subject of research.

Therefore, by dividing the whole class into small groups, more students have the opportunity to express their thoughts because students have a chance to practice their comments and to increase their repertoire of ideas in their buzz groups.

group of the students in order to make them understand the material optimally. The students tend to be passive and no courage to share their ideas to his/her friends. Because of that, they are not active and do not develop their knowledge. It is in line with Sanjaya about (2009: Direct 191) that explained Instruction
means more chance for them for learning. Low motivated students do not often perform hard effort to learn more. They are not actively involved in the learning activities. They do not have enough courage to take risk to enrich their knowledge. They prefer listening to the teacher to having effort to do anything by themselves. 3. There is an interaction between teaching method and motivation. The teaching method that used by the teacher influence teaching challenge motivation. using in the class give a of big the class a for the success in to the
method which only depend on the teachers competence such as their preparation, classroom confidence, knowledge, management. He also enthusiasm, motivation, and also their added that Direct Instruction method has a one-way communication style that makes the limited chance to the teacher to control the students understanding for the material given. 2. There is a significant difference in reading comprehension between students with high motivation and those with low motivation. Reading comprehension of the students having high motivation is better than those having Sardiman low learning 75) motivation. states that (1992:

It is continued with reaching common viewpoint on the topic, and then followed by whole class discussions in larger groups to summarize the topic. Buzz Groups method is mainly used to teach reading comprehension and to overcome the difficulties in understanding the text. Buzz Groups method is more suitable used to teach reading comprehension for the students who have high motivation because Buzz Groups method can be used to make the students more active in the teaching and learning process. There are some steps which are applied in this method, consist of generating idea that is the teacher asks each group to discuss about the content of the text. Then, it is continued with solving a problem or reaching a common viewpoint on the topic. In this step teacher asks all the groups to do the task on the worksheet related with the text. And the last step is teacher asks the students to return to whole class discussion and invite
Meanwhile, Direct Instruction Method is more suitable for low motivated students. CONCLUSION, IMPLICATION, AND SUGGESTION A.
