comprehension test in the form of multiple choice, with 20 questions. The researcher gave a pre�test before teaching both groups. After that, the researcher taught using Instagram for four
meetings in the experimental group while the control group used conventional way. After the

Paired Sample t-test and calculated using SPSS 22. The result showed that there was a significant
difference in reading comprehension between students who are taught using Instagram and

the students' reading comprehension.
