- Abstract
TOEFL purposes have developed in recent years, not only for educational needs but also for other needs, such as; job applicant requirements. Meanwhile, the examinee still considers TOEFL as a difficult test. Reading Comprehension appears as one of the sections in TOEFL. As a result of this phenomenon, the goal of this study was to determine how intrinsic analysis theory improved student reading comprehension scores. The method used in this research was the action research method. The research stages started from pre-test, problems identification, treatment implementation, post-test, findings evaluation, and conclusion. The tests were delivered through Google Form and Google Classroom. In addition, the treatment implementation was using Zoom conference. There are 84 students tested in this research. The students form two groups. Group A is doing a reading comprehension test with a narrative genre, meanwhile group B with a descriptive genre. There is a rising in group A average score, from 53 in the pre-test to 83 in the post-test. Besides, group B average score rises from 68 to 92. Therefore, we suggest applying intrinsic analysis in solving the reading comprehension test. However, it needs another research that interacts with student cognitive thinking when taking the reading comprehension test for TOEFL.
