The result of the analysis showed that tvalue was higher than ttable (3.65 > 2.00) at the level of significance 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 58. It means that there is a significant effect of using Question-Answer Relationship Strategy on the students’ achievement in reading narrative text.
