Reading comprehension is a multicomponent, highly complex process involving many interactions between readers and what they bring to the text (prior knowledge, strategy use) as well as variables related to the text itself (interest in text, understanding of text types). 3 This means that the success of capturing the text's messages is largely influenced by a lot of factors. 3 Janette K. Klingner, Sharon Vaughn and Alison Boardman. Teaching comprehension to students with learning disabilities. The Guilford Press. USA. 2007. p.6. such as the readers' prior knowledge, the text's content, text types and the text's interesting value. The purpose of scanning is to extract specific information without reading the entire text. f) Use of semantic mapping or clustering.
The fact that not all language can be adequately interpreted by considering its literal, syntactic surface structure places special demands on readers. Error analysis is one of the main topics in second language acquisition research. A learner of English as a second language is not aware of the existence of a certain system or rule in the English language.
The clearest support for this belief is the finding of "foreign" accents in the students' second language speech. Basically, the mistakes in which students usually can be distinguished in two terms, they are error and mistake. An error cannot be self-corrected, according to James, whereas errors can be self-corrected if the deviation is pointed out to the speaker.
It can be concrete object like a person, or an animal, or a plan, or a car, etc. This means that a text is a meaningful linguistic unit that is a word, or sentence, or a paragraph, or even the one that is larger than a paragraph.17. According to Halliday (1985), a reading text can be any linguistic unit, which is functional in context.
A linguistic unit can be a word, or a sentence, or a clause, or a sentence, or a paragraph, or a unit larger than a paragraph, such as an informal essay, or a formal essay, or a research report, or a argumentative research paper or a book. And a meaningful text means a text that is full of meanings in a context that includes the meanings that come before and after the unity in the text and outside the text.19 It means that, in order to understand the meaning of a text, we context in a text, so that the writer's intent can be clearly perceived by the reader. It can be said that all these types of this device will be functional in context.
