Abstract
The goal of this study is to use the Numbered Heads Together strategy to increase high school students’ reading comprehension and determine whether cooperative learning with the Numbered Heads Together strategy can help students' reading comprehension. The data for this study came from a field study that used action research design at a high school in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam. This study was conducted using the action research methodology. Moreover, information was acquired via tests. The study discovered that the students' tests mean scores were different. The mean score of the tests using the Numbered Heads Together method was higher than that of the other tests that did not use this method. Therefore, cooperative learning using the NHT technique can improve the reading comprehension skills of school students. This research offers a new source of strategy to assist teachers in teaching students’ reading skills, especially reading comprehension skills.
