Application of GIST Methods in the Teaching of Reading Comprehension to the Intermediate Level of Indonesian Language for Non-native Speakers
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to obtain an overview of the influence of GIST methods on the reading ability of BIPA learner-level understanding. The research method used is a single-subject method (single-subject method) with an A-B-A design. The baseline (A1) was conducted over four sessions, the intervention (B) was conducted over eight sessions, and the second baseline (A2) was conducted over four sessions. The results show that the GIST method can develop the reading ability of middle-level BIPA learners’ comprehension. This can be seen from the increase in the average value obtained by each subject under each condition. The data overlap from research subject, that is, 0%, 25%, 25%, 12.5%, and 0%. Overlap data from the results of the study did not exceed 25%, which indicates that the application of the GIST method to reading comprehension ability is very effective. Based on the research, the GIST method proved capable of developing the reading ability of BIPA learners, especially in terms of reading comprehension of texts.
