Para siswa masih pasif dalam proses pembelajaran membaca, mereka tidak mempunyai idea tau inisiatif untuk membaca, atau ketika mereka punya ide, mereka tidak tau bagaimana mengekspresikan ide mereka. Ini dibuktikan dengan kurangnya kata-kata, kurangnya pemahaman tentang tata bahasa, dan kurangnya praktek membaca dalam bahasa inggris.
