School Cilallang” A thesis of English Language Education Study Program of

This research aims to determine whether or not the Wattpad application enhances
students’ reading skills in the eighth grade of MTS Darul Istiqamah Islamic School
Cilallang. This research adopted the pre-experimental method. The sample
consisted of thirteen students. The Wattpad application was used as a medium in
this research. The researcher collected the data through pre-test, treatment, and post-
test. SPSS 25 edition was used to perform statistical analysis on the data.
Investigation revealed that the mean post-test score is higher than the pre-test (87.11
> 66.92). Besides, the value of the t-count (8.954) is higher than the value of the t-
table (1.782). Also, the significant (2-tailed) value = 0,000, which means tis
smaller than 0,05 (the value for the standard of significant level). The result of the
students’ scores on the post-test became more elevated than the pre-test,
representing the treatment’s effectiveness in helping the learners improve their
reading skills. It can be summarized that using the Wattpad application significantly
enhanced the students’ reading comprehension, especially in reading narrative text.
This research strongly emphasizes the next researcher to examine the use of the
Wattpad application for different skills imaginatively.
