The objective of this research is to investigate whether there is a significant effect of using Google Classroom as blended learning media integrated with inference strategy toward students’ reading ability. The design of this research was quasi experiment. In this design, two classes were used, experimental class and control class. The instrument on this research is reading test which aims to measure students’ reading comprehension. The data in this research were analyzed by using SPSS v.20. It was to calculate the pre-test and post-test result. The finding of this research showed that there was a significant effect of using Google Classroom as blended learning media integrated with inference strategy toward students’ reading ability with the t-count of post-test = 5,518 > t-table with the sig. (2-tailed) = 0,000< 0,05 which means that H0 was rejected. It can be concluded that there was a significant effect of using Google Classroom as blended learning media integrated with inference strategy toward students’ reading ability to improve students’ reading ability at grade X of Senior High School in South Bengkulu-Indonesia.
The aim of this research was to construct a teaching model that was intended as a standardization and benchmark for lecturers in the online class teaching and learning process during the COVID-19 pandemic in the English Education Department of Islamic religious universities in Indonesia. This problem was identified from the results of pre-observation research which indicated that in Indonesian Islamic religious university institutions, especially in the English Language Education study program, there was not yet clear standardization for conducting full online learning. The product of this research study is in the form of a teaching model developed using the ASSURE method that consists of analyzing the participants’ needs, stating the objectives, selecting appropriate strategies, utilizing a technological approach, requiring learners' participation, and evaluating the final product of this study. In developing this research product, the researchers also conducted a validation process with experts in the field of English teaching strategies. The validation is related to the teaching model, model design, and contextualization. The product of this research has been revised and improved based on the advice from the experts. Furthermore, at the stage of requiring students’ participation, the product also underwent trials involving 10 lecturers and 100 students from five different English Education Departments. The results obtained from the trial process were also used by the researchers for perfecting the model so that the teaching model based on blended learning would be an appropriate educational tool to be used in teaching and learning during online learning in the English Education Departments of Islamic religious universities in the future.
