Abstract

This approach utilizes five phases of inquiry cycle comprising engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation. The method that was implemented in this research was the CAR or Classroom Action Research. The subject of this research were 30 students, consisted of 18 males and 12 females. The result of this research showed that after using inquiry-based learning, the students can significantly improve their reading comprehension especially understanding the generic structure and language features, as well as reading comprehension aspects such as identifying specific information and understanding vocabulary. Based on the results of the process, the students were more independent and willing to ask question related to recount text.
