        abstract = {This research was conducted based on the consideration that students have
difficulties in comprehending the text. There were many factors that influenced
students? problems in comprehending the reading text, e.g. students? lack of
vocabulary and interest in reading a text. There are two techniques considered
applicable and useful in increasing students? reading achievement, namely
information transfer and translation technique. Therefore, this research was
intended to investigate whether there was a significant difference of students?
achievement in comprehending authentic material taught through information
transfer and translation technique and to know which of the two techniques was
more effective for teaching reading of authentic material.
This research took place in SMPN 1 Natar. The participants included two classes
of the third grader. Control group pre-test post-test design was applied in this
research. The data were analyzed by using Independent t-test with Statistically
Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 15.0.
Based on the result of independent t-test, the significant difference was
determined by p{\ensuremath{<}}0.05. The t-test revealed that the result was significant
(p=0.012) in which (t-value {\ensuremath{>}} t-table), 2.598 {\ensuremath{>}} 2.000. It showed that the
alternative hypothesis was accepted, since there was a significant difference in
students? reading achievement after being taught through information transfer and
translation technique. Besides, information transfer was more effective than
translation in increasing students? reading achievement because it helped students
to comprehend the text given by using self-questioning strategy. Thus, it is
concluded that information transfer technique can be applied and recommended as
a reference to teach English in reading skill.}
