Özet:

One obstruction in learning the second language is related to understanding the contents of the reading text. In this background, the study aims to improve reading comprehension skills with blended learning. This activity is a form of research and development in elementary schools. Technically, the population consists of fifth-grade students in international schools. BIPA Learners (Indonesian for Foreign Speakers) derived from international students who live in Indonesia and learn Indonesian. In this line, BIPA students encountered difficulty in understanding reading texts and interpreting words. The recorded results of research and development represented the stages from preliminary studies to field experiments. This study concludes that blended learning improves posttest scores with an average score above the minimum passing grade and allows the students more opportunity to read the text repeatedly. In this frame, Students can initially learn the material before studying in the class so that they acquire the knowledge or reading skills according to their abilities.
