This research aims at finding out whether or not the implementation of Think- Pair-Share (TPS) Technique can improve the reading comprehension of the eleventh-grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Banawa. This research employed a quasi-experimental research design which involved two groups of students as experimental and control groups.
