Abstract

Penelitian ini menguji efektivitas Google Translate terhadap pemahaman membaca siswa kelas XI
di MAN Kota Tegal. Dengan desain quasi-eksperimental yang melibatkan 68 siswa yang dibagi
menjadi kelompok eksperimen (menggunakan Google Translate) dan kelompok kontrol (metode
tradisional), data dikumpulkan melalui pre-test, post-test, dan kuesioner. Hasil menunjukkan
kelompok eksperimen memperoleh skor post-test yang secara signifikan lebih tinggi (84,34)
dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (73,17), dengan uji t independen mengonfirmasi perbedaan yang
signifikan (t = -7,287, p < 0,001). Kuesioner mengungkapkan persepsi positif siswa terhadap
penggunaan Google Translate. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa Google Translate efektif untuk
meningkatkan pemahaman membaca sebagai suplemen terstruktur dalam pembelajaran bahasa
Inggris sebagai bahasa asing (EFL).
