It may be because the teachers do not use good technique or method in the class. There are many students who felt sleepy when the teacher explained the materials.
One of the problems may be that the students feel bored because the techniques used by the teacher are monotonous. Many students got under the KKM and they had difficulties to comprehending the English text. From the teacher’s information in that school, it was reported that most of students still had problems in comprehending the text. And lack of motivation may influence students’ reading comprehension.īased on the researcher’s pre-observasion at SMAN 2 Bojong Kenyot, it was found that the students were still confused in determining the main idea of the text, making reference and inference, finding synonyms and vocabulary. The lack of participation may result in lack of motivation. For example when the teacher dominates the activity in the classroom, the students may feel like they do not have enough chance to participate actively. Another problem is lack of the students’ participation in the classroom. So many students are hard to get the idea or meaning of the text.
Many kinds of teaching method may result bad or negative effects on students’ reading skill. One of the problems that can be found is the method used by the teachers. Hence, there are some problems in teaching reading.
