Abstract

ENGLISH : The teaching of English in Indonesia is an effort to enable the students to use English for communication and to read books and references written in English. It is not possible that the students can understand the Indonesian books and references written in English, if they do not know English. One of the important materials in learning English at school is reading. The students can improve their knowledge in many fields of science if they master English. Furthermore, mastery of English is not perfect without dealing with reading comprehension. Reading comprehension is a technique for improving students' success in extracting useful knowledge from texts (Mayer: 2003). As defined by Partnership for Reading (2005), Reading comprehension is understanding a text that is read, or the process of "constructing meaning" from a text. Comprehension is a "construction process" because it involves all of the elements of the reading process working together as a text is read to create a representation of the text in the reader's mind. Reading is one of the language skills that must be taught in higher school. If we reflect to the situation of education, one of the most difficult skills in language paradigm is reading. It’s prooven that in doing the test of reading the students spend a lot of time to finish the exercise. It is caused by the lack of knowledge about technique, method and how to find information easily. Reading also enables us to gain new knowledge, enjoy literature, and do everyday things such as reading newspapers and finding job information.
