After I read this journal, I learned that the main purpose of this study is to investigate whether the critical reading strategy can make Iranian EFL learners' being critical readers or not. This study is classroom action research, and in this study, the researchers used pre-test and post-test to know the students' achievement. They explained some theories due to critical reading strategy, critical thinking, and critical readers.
This study was done in three phases and it conducted to 48 students in a university in Iran. The first week of the first phase is used for the researchers to observe the students' behavior in doing a reading test. Then the next two meetings, the researchers are taught critical reading strategy to the classroom. In this stage, the students are asked to read a text critically and they are allowed to take a note while reading the text. Those techniques are included in the critical reading strategy which called annotating and summarizing
To check the students' background knowledge, the researchers used pre-test, the students can use those critical reading strategies in doing the reading test. At the end of the research, the researchers give post-test to the students. It is used to check whether the students are familiar with those strategies or not and also it is used to check how far the students comprehend in reading a text by applying those critical reading strategies.
Based on the result, the students score on the post-test much better than the pre-test. I saw at table 1 that there are significant differences of the pre-test and post-test. So, it can be concluded that using critical reading strategy can improve the students reading ability and makes them become critical readers.

Hai astri. Well I want to say that your writing is good. It is well-organized and easy to read. However, you did not mention or explain about the impelementation of critical reading in your future classroom.
BalasHapusThank you Aulia for leaving your comment in my blog. well.. thank you for reminding me about that. Since, I focus on critique this journal and I'm forget to make an implementation of the critical reading strategy for my future classroom. I am going to revise my posts and add the implementation of critical reading strategy for my future classroom. :)
