This research is aimed to find out : (1) The difference of students reading comprehension ability between PALS and QARs (2) The difference of students´ reading comprehension ability who have low self efficacy and high self efficacy (3) Interaction between teaching strategy with self efficacy on the students reading comprehension achievement.The population of this research is all second classes of MTs Negeri Lubuk Pakam, Kabupaten Deli Serdang which have 180 students´ all together and consist of five classes. These samples are taken by using simple random sampling method. The sample of this research is 32 students taught by PALS and 32 students in QARs.
