The Effectiveness of Reading Aloud Application on the Ability to Read the QS. Al-Ma’un and Translations in English

This research was conducted to find out how effective the application of the reading-aloud method is on the ability to read the Q.S Al Ma'un and its translation in English. This study aims to determine whether the reading-aloud method affects students' ability to read Q.S Al-Ma'un of the Quran and its English translation in the second semester of the Management Study Program at Muhammadiyah University of Pringsewu. This study employs a quasi-experimental methodology. The results showed that the experimental class's post-test score was 69.1, with a standard deviation of 8.22, and the practical class's pre-test score was 56.5, with a standard deviation of 8.53. The control class's post-test score was 60.40, with a standard deviation 9.68. The outcomes of the two tests are dissimilar. Additionally, both classes’ -test results are 0.00. This indicates that the hypothesis is correct and that the reading-aloud strategy can help students become more proficient readers.


INTRODUCTION
One of the current issues that are significant for the Muslim community is concern about the decreasing number of young Muslims who can read the Qur'an, resulting in a decline in their interest in studying and memorizing the holy verses of the Qur'an (Nasirudin et al., 2021).
Reading and loving the Qur'an is an essential prerequisite for achieving a deep understanding of the Qur'an.Therefore, we cannot ignore the message of Allah SWT in the 4th verse of Surah Al-Muzammil, which emphasizes the importance of reading the Al-Qur'an.Through this verse, Allah SWT ordered the Prophet Muhammad SAW to read the Qur'an carefully and think about its meaning (Ali Mahfud & Sobar Al Ghazal, 2022).This command emphasizes the importance of reading the Qur'an well and correctly, listening to each word slowly and clearly, and understanding the meaning of each verse (Syafei et al., 2020).This command can also be used as a guide for all Muslims in reading the Qur'an properly and correctly.
As the Word of God, the Qur'an has many teachings and advantages (Marwati, 2021).
There are several advantages obtained when we read, study, and teach the Qur'an, including: 1. Get a reward for those who read it, like the words of the Prophet Muhammad, which reads.

‫ُھل‬ ‫ِھب‬ ‫ح‬
"Whoever reads one letter from the book of Allah (Al-Quran), then for his goodness, and one kindness is rewarded with tenfold."(At Tarmidzi) 2. Get a reward for people who study, memorize, and are good at reading the Qur'an.
3. Get a reward for those who gather to read and study it.
4. Obtain a high level of heaven.
Reading is a complex process that includes many factors in and out of the reader.Reading is increasingly important in increasingly complex community life (Syamsir et al., 2021).In learning to read, students not only have to be able to So many benefits can be obtained by reading the Al-Quran and understanding its translation.Therefore, it is highly recommended for Muslims to read the Al-Quran because apart from being a guide in the world and the hereafter, it is also a means to shape Muslim personalities and increase faith.Translation of the Al-Qur'an is a simple way to understand its contents (Hanafi, 2011).One of the obligations in Islam is to read the Al-Quran and its translation.When reading the Qur'an, we must understand the meaning of each verse in the translation.By reading translations in English, students to be able to increase their vocabulary.
Various learning strategies were born to make it easier for students to improve their ability to read the Qur'an, one of which can be developed to realize active learning.One such strategy is reading aloud (reading aloud).This strategy can help students concentrate.In this strategy, students are instructed to read aloud one of the letters in the Al-Quran, the teacher will pay attention to the incorrect reading and provide examples of correct reading so that students can spread the knowledge of recitation well (Marwati, 2021).The strategies teachers The Effectiveness of Reading Aloud Application on the Ability to Read the QS.Al-Ma'un...... use in the learning process play a very important role.This is recognized because teachers are special in developing children's learning abilities.(Zainuddin et al., 2022) Therefore, if the teacher plays a good role in learning, the results will also be good.
In the educational context, Reading Aloud is a learning technique in which teachers or students read texts aloud.Reading aloud is a method of reading aloud.Meanwhile, according to (Trelease, 2017), read aloud is the most effective method of teaching reading for children because with this method we can condition children's brains to associate reading with a fun activity.Both teachers and parents can do this so that it can create a bond with students.The Reading Aloud strategy helps students concentrate, ask questions, and trigger discussions, which can increase student participation in understanding the material being taught (Mufid, 2016).Thus, this strategy can increase student involvement in the learning process.
Based on the author's observations of This condition is not due to the low absorption of students but more factors that influence it.It could be because the method used is inappropriate for learning to read the Qur'an and translate it in English.However, from some of these factors, based on the initial observations that the researchers made, there was a tendency towards learning method factors that had to be improved, where the methods used previously were limited to theory, the active role of students was not paid attention to so that learning outcomes were less than optimal.
The reading-aloud method is a method that can help students concentrate and ask questions.This method can stimulate student activity; besides that, it can increase student

Discussion
According  This result is in line with the observation that (Huda et al., 2015) the process of learning reading strategies seems to be working.This indicates that students' success, including their work, atmosphere, and quality, will be enhanced using this learning process.Furthermore, read but also have to like what they read.That way, teachers must have a unique learning method, and this method can develop children's creativity, especially motivation, curiosity, and memory development.Reading the Al-Quran is essential in a child's learning process because this is a basic ability that children must have (Abdul Rauf, 2012) .Reading the Quran is a very important form of worship.Therefore, reading the Al-Quran begins with studying the letters is an obligation and must be accompanied by understanding the translation of the Al-Quran itself.This is because the ability and love to read the Qur'an is the first step in efforts to understand and practice the contents of the Qur'an in everyday life.

semester 2
students of the T.A 2022/2023 Management Program Study, students' ability to read the Qur'an is still low, and their ability to read translations of the Qur'an in English is still not fluent.The classical learning proficiency learning outcomes from the previous year were not met with an average value of 6.5.At the same time, the expected completeness is 76%.
enthusiasm.Therefore, semester 2 students of the Management Program Study are expected to be able to read the Qur'an and translate it into English fluently and well.One is to find out how the ability to read the Qur'an and translation in English semester 2 students of the Management Program Study, especially in practicing reading verses from the Q.S Al-Ma'un as well as reading the correct and good translation and using the reading aloud method.METHODS This study uses a research tool with two class groups in a non-control group design.The experimental group was one group, and the control group was another.In both classes, the researchers used pre-and post-testing methods.The research population consisted of semester 2 students of the Management Program Study.There are 40 students, both girls and boys.The researchers then conducted this research by reading aloud.The research applied Q.S Al Ma'un of the Quran in English translation as a research tool.This examination was used to determine the ability of the students to comprehend the reading test of the Q.S Surah Al Ma'un with English translation.In this case, the researchers used a reading method to administer a reading test to the students.(HJ Wahid & A. Thais, 2020) SPSS-16 was used in the data analysis technique to continue observing how to interpret and analyze data from the output of the data tabulation, which was in the final stage.The researchers attempt to explain the procedures involved in data collection to conduct the investigation.The researchers use triangulation of data analysis in this data analysis technique: (a) the mean formula; the mean formula is used to calculate mean scores.It is an effective method of determining control proclivity.(b) The variation in scores around the mean is averaged out using the standard deviation.(c) Categorization; includes pre-and post-tests.Before the test, a pre-test was administered to assess the students' reading abilities, and a posttest was administered to assess the students' reading abilities after the researchers completed the process.
