Abstract
The aimed of this study to examine the effect of the Cooperative Learning Group method based on Google Site on students' reading comprehension and learning motivation in English. The study employed a quasi-experimental method using a non-randomized control group pre-test and post-test design. The sample consisted of two classes of 34 students each from the Accounting Department at SMK Negeri. The experimental class used the Google Sites-Based Cooperative Learning Group Method, while the control class used traditional lecture methods. The results showed a significant improvement in reading comprehension and motivation in the experimental class compared to the control group, with the experimental group showing an average posttest 49.41, compared to 40,29 in the control group. The t-test showed a significant difference (p=000024). N-gain Analysis demonstrated that the experimental group (mean = 0.1726, SD = 0.0897) experienced a greater improvement in reading comprehension compared to the control group (mean = 0.0183, SD = 0.0446). Furthermore, The Google Sites-Based Cooperative Learning Group Method successfully enhanced collaborative engagement and provided flexible digital resources that stimulated active learning.
