The Concept of Reading
- Definition of Reading
- Techniques in Efficient Reading
- The Aims of Reading
- The Reasons for Reading
Reading is one of the language skills that are very important to develop students' knowledge in their studies. Reading is a tool for learning; students need a range of reading skills to understand textbooks, reference materials, magazines, newspapers, etc. According to Peter Streven, reading is "a skill of great importance to the student because it gives him access to large amounts of additional experience with the language and gives him a window to the normal opportunities to continue his personal education.
It can be said that reading is a process in which the reader receives messages from the authors in writing. From the above quotations it can be concluded that reading is an activity for extracting the information that readers want to extract from the point if it is on a piece of paper in many other media. Skimming is used to quickly gather the most important information, or gist of the text.
It's probably a good idea to create some awareness about the different types of reading skills they naturally use in their own native language before starting this exercise. In most cases, reading for information is relevant to the current research on the reader they read to find information, to reduce their uncertainties.
The Concept of Reading Comprehension
- Definition of Reading Comprehension
- The Level of Reading Comprehension
People read language because they have a desire to do so and a goal to achieve. Taylor states that reading comprehension is an accomplished cognitive process in which readers are aware of and have control over their comprehension. Reading comprehension is a multicomponent, highly complex process that involves 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 the text, understanding of types of the text).
It relates to what they don't know about information they already know. Literal level comprehension is essential to all reading comprehension at any level because a reader must first. Interpretation, a level of reading that requires a higher level of thinking ability, because the material involved is not directly stated in the text, but only suggested as implied.
Readers are able to answer such a question by simply asking them to remember what the correct words are given in the book. Of course, students who are slow learners will have difficulty working at this level, as well as in the next two categories.
The Concept of Literal and Interpretative Comprehension
- Literal Reading
- Interpretative Reading
Although it requires little or no thinking on the part of readers, it allows them to practice recalling and reproducing statements of fact and has a place in detailed reading of facts. Very often, the writer begins with supporting evidence and places the main idea in the last sentence. Sometimes the writer uses a few sentences to introduce the topic, places the main idea in the middle and follows it with supporting sentences.
The supporting detail question asks the reader to find detail information explicitly printed in the text. It is usually signed with words like: according to the author..; According to the piece..; who, what, when, where, why, how, which. This level requires a higher level of thinking as the questions in the category of interpretation involve answers that are not stated directly in the text, but are suggested or implied where students make connections between individuals' ideas, make inferences, draw conclusions , generalizations and predicting outcomes, reading between the lines to get inferences, or implicitly.
To draw a full conclusion, the reader must read the passage carefully, put ideas and facts together to draw conclusions, and then conclude them by using their experience and intuition. The conclusion should not introduce any new points, but should be related to the thesis or body of the essay.
The Concept of Narrative Text
- The Generic Structure of Narrative text
They may also have learned something and perhaps their opinion has changed from what you wrote or created. The linguistic features of the narrative are the use of processive, temporal, relational verbs and the simple past tense. According to Cooper (1986), like other types of text, narrative text is constructed by overall structure.
Introducing what is in the text, introducing the participants and informing them of the time and place. On the other hand, what text is the conversation in general, who is involved in the text, when and where it happens. Describing the emerging crises that the participant has to deal with what is happening to the participants.

However, the researcher chooses audio and videos as the media in the teaching and learning process. The use of audio and videos in the teaching and learning process can be more communicative than long explanations or they can complement the teacher's explanation. Moreover, audio and videos can make students motivated and interested in the teaching and learning process.
The Concept of Audiobooks
- Definition and history of audiobook
- Why use audiobooks
- Advantages of the Audiobooks
- The Implementation of Using Audiobook in the Classroom
Wolfson (2008) has found that this guided reading strategy using audiobooks is akin to reading aloud. He states that “the reading process develops through oral language, and audiobooks in a guided reading program provide another opportunity to increase people's understanding and appreciation. the written word.” Another study by Gilbert, Williams & McLaughlin (1996) shows that reading support has been successfully implemented in children with learning disabilities and second language English speakers. Based on Table 2.1, the study concluded that the final reading comprehension score of students, 4 students (12.5%) were good in the pre-test and then good in the post-test with 10 students (31.25%). The purpose of testing the hypotheses was to find out what the difference is in the students' reading comprehension during the pre-test and the post-test.
