The objective of this research is to reveal the application of the Cooperative, Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) method to increase the reading comprehension of Indonesian EFL learners at junior schools. The CIRC method is one of the teaching methods that English teachers adjust to encourage their students to learn reading comprehension (Gupta & Ahuja, 2015); Zarei, 2012). One reason the researcher investigates reading is in the late time, the EFL learners are very less to spend their time on their reading habits (Derinalp, 2021). The EFL learners are very less to spend their time on their reading habits (Fan, 2016). Reading comprehension is one of the important skills of a language. Much information from the text form problematic issues (Riazi, 2017). It needs a complex skill to acquire this language skill. Therefore, the language learner who concerns with transforming information must prepare a strategy to work. This research applied a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design. This study took the junior high school students in Parepare, Indonesia, as its subjects. Two groups of students were involved in the study, one as an experimental group and one as the control group. The data were collected using a comprehension test of the reading content. Management of analytical data was tested by the t-test and the accumulation of the percentage value. The results showed that CIRC improves the reading comprehension of Indonesian junior high students.
