1.1.Background of the Research

English language is one of the international languages in the world as communication device on the idea, opinion, and orders to mean feels and opinion to other people. In some countries, it becomes the first language. In Indonesia, it became second language but very important for students to learn, because there are many advantages from studying it. By English, we will be able to increase our knowledge on kinds of life aspect.

            As a developing country, Indonesia really needs English because Indonesia governments are trying to improve all aspects which are usually faced by all countries. One of these aspects is education. These are essential. As an English teacher must focuses the attention to the teaching English as the language of the world. In Indonesia, English is learnt and taught at Junior high school, Senior high school even at university. It means that something important for the students to be taught at school based on the situation and condition of the object area. But there are some problems that faced by the students. They are realized that most students get bad mark. So, it proves that English is really difficult for the students.

            There are four skills in learning English, they are Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing. One of them is Reading. It is important part to learn, because we will get much information about something that we do not know before and we can be able to increase our knowledge on culture. If we read every rule in written from our country, we will know what our country is like. For instance read novel from another country. We will get more knowledge about the other country with its culture. In English Department, we study it do not master of grammar or vocabulary but also master the culture to understand to communicate with a native speaker. Although, we may learn about words through the dictionary, we still need to learn the culture, so the communication can be understood and avoid misunderstanding.

The issue about understanding for students incessant is seriously caution, because it is international language that has important part in accelerate mastery of knowledge and technology. This is because English is vehicle communicate to have interaction with other because it is second language, so must to get, more really caution because it is very difficult to learn.

And some of them are very lazy to studying reading comprehension. English is bored lesson for them. Maybe because the presentation of material still monotonous. Or not have orientation and stagnant so that the students have no interest to reading it.

Realize the important, a teacher must try to product a studying environment with conducive with make some approach, methods and teaching technique. The technique or teaching model that used in studying process can to make the studying be very easy and comfortable. The studying process, teacher must use the simple language, or maybe the teacher must to use the dialect of students so that the students can be easy to understand about material that teacher taught. The teacher must touch off the variation in studying activity, give the chance for students with individually studying and must active participation on teaching studying process. Have examination, feedback, and give motivation for students.
