Nunan defines reading comprehension as the process of getting, understanding and capturing the content of the reading. I do not understand the reading of English texts well, because my lack of knowledge such as vocabulary, that is, makes it difficult for me to understand the meaning of what I read"33. This is because there is still a lack of vocabulary, the meaning of sentences, reading, understanding of the content of the text and also because they do not know the meaning of the words in the reading.
I struggle to understand the meaning of the reading I read so I don't understand when I find the essence of the reading especially I don't know English vocabulary either"38. During reading, the students develop their knowledge in reading a text, such as by looking for the meaning of new words in the dictionary and guessing the meaning of the context. The results of the interview showed that students were not able to understand well the whole statement or meaning of the reading.
No, because in my opinion, finding meaning in reading requires understanding the meaning and purpose of the text, while my ability to interpret English text is even lacking. Less able sister because I can't understand the meanings of the reading I read, let alone the English text. I realized that my ability is still lacking in interpreting the reading, understanding the meaning and also the vocabulary of the reading used.
For example, a question that has a long sentence and needs to find the essence of the reading is difficult for students. From the explanation above, it can be said that students' MTs Al Azhar Ajung ability to work on the questions given by the teacher depends on whether the questions are easy or not, because some of the questions given by themselves are easy and some are difficult. if it is multiple choice and the questions are short, it is relatively easy, but if the text is long, students tend to read it at night.
