A. Background
In the globalization era,
English plays an important role especially in international communication and
in the development of education, politics, economy, and tourism. Many people
use it as a means of the international communication it is considered as one of
the international languages that are most widely used all over the world.
By reading we
can get information, knowledge and pleasure. Today there are so many books are
written in English. Since the students study at the elementary school, junior
high school, they have been taught English. The priority of teaching English in
school is reading because it can cover the three other skills. The people who
always read books written in English, they will be easier to do the other
skills as ( Achsin, 1985 : 36 ) states that reading skills involves the three
other skills : listening, speaking, and writing.
Reading skills
is important because it can help the students to find information about the
general knowledge or the subject of school. The successful students in reading
will them selves ( Barbara, 1980 : 34 ). Through reading the students or the
people can improve their own knowledge, experience and develop new concept and
broaden their horizon of thinking which are needed to ensure the continue
personal growth and adapt the changes in the world.
The technique
of English teaching is necessary to develop especially in teaching reading
because the technique of teaching influences the students’ success so the teacher
of English must select suitable method, techniques and materials to teach.
Many approaches
or techniques have been applied in the English curriculum in general the
technique in teaching reading found at high school is comprehension questions
answering exercises. We can improve the teaching of reading in order that the
students are actively involved in reading class particularly in the given in
task. In curriculum 2004, it is expected that the students understand the
implicit meaning and stage or theoretical development in written text in the
form of narrative, procedure, spoof/recount, report and news item and they can identification
main idea and they can read well.
Realizing such
condition, English teacher are demanded to be more creative in presenting their
lesson, particularly reading material?????
