blended learning was 67.81. After the treatment, there was a significant
difference in the students’ ability reading comprehension between students
taught using blended learning and those without using blended learning. Based
on the results of the normality test, it is known that the significant value is
0.107>0.05 which can be concluded that the values are normally distributed.
The final result of t-test analysis was t-value>t-table (7.454>1.994) or
,000<0,05. In other words, the use of blended learning was effective to improve
reading comprehension ability at the eleventh grade students of SMA N 4
