Abstract
This study is a Research and Development (R & D) which aims to (1) describe the needs of Theme-Based English Learning Model Development with CTL Approach to improve students' reading skills, (2) design a prototype of theme-based English learning model development with CTL approach to improve students' reading skills, (3) to measure the validity level of the development of theme-based English learning model with CTL approach to improving students' reading skills, (4) to measure the practicality level of the development of theme-based English learning model with CTL approach to improving students' reading skills, and (5) to measure the effectiveness level of the development of theme-based English learning model with CTL approach to improving students' reading skills. Subject of development of theme-based English learning model with contextual teaching and learning (CTL) approach to improve students' reading skills at SMP Negeri 19 Makassar. The research used a type of research and development (R&D) research that refers to the ADDIE model, Sugiyono (2016: 298). This model consists of five stages, namely Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. Data collection techniques were carried out using observation, interviews, tests, questionnaires, and documentation techniques. The research instruments used were learning implementation observation instruments, student learning outcomes assessment test instruments, learning device validation instruments and implementation observation sheet validation instruments. The data analysis techniques were carried out by (1) analysing needs, (2) analysing the level of validity, (3) analysing the level of effectiveness, and (4) analysing student and teacher response data. The results of this study indicate that there is a need to develop a theme-based English learning model with a CTL approach to improve students' reading comprehension skills. The validation test results showed that the model book, teaching manual, learning tools and several research questionnaires were declared very valid based on the experts' assessment. Furthermore, the results of the practicality test also stated that this model proved to be very practical based on the results of observations of learning implementation and teacher and student response questionnaires.
