INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents background of the research, formulations of the research, objectives of the research, uses of the research, scope of the research, and definition of terms clarified like the following.

Background of the Research

In line with developments in science and technology is rapidly increasing, especially in printing technology, the more information stored in the book. At all levels of education, literacy becomes a priority scale that must be mastered students. By reading the students will acquire a variety of information that has not previously been obtained. The more read the more information obtained. Therefore, reading is a window of the world, anyone who opens a window that can see and know everything that happened. Both events happened in the past, present, and even that will come. Many of the benefits derived from reading. Therefore, students must do so on the basis of need, not because of a compulsion. If students are reading on the basis of need, then he will get all the information he wants. But on the contrary, if students are reading on the basis of coercion, then the information he obtained would not be maximal.

According to Wallace and Larsen (1987), reading is a multi faceted process, which can be described at various time and developmental stages as a thinking process. Reading ability is the main concern of English to be able to read English text books, journals, and references etc. They cannot rally too much on the Indonesian version of the English text books. Since most of textbooks and references are written in English, many students who find difficulties in comprehending them usually have their texts translated or extracted. It will be better if they can do it by themselves, rather than depend on their English teachers.

We all know that reading is a process of thinking. Reading is a very complex and complicated process that involves some factors influential upon each other. Because of the students have the lower skills in interferential reading comprehension. The writer has opinion that reading habit supports the student to be able to comprehend the text. That is the reason why the writer wants to show that reading habit is very important to support inferential reading comprehension. Reading is also an activity that is active receptive language. Said to be active, because in the act of reading really an interaction between reader and writer, and said to be receptive, because the reader acting as receiver of the message in a correlation of communication between write rand reader that is direct. For students, reading is not only a role in the control subjects who learned only. But reading is also instrumental in knowing the various kinds of advanced science and technology continues to evolve. Through reading, advances in science and technology can be known and understood before it can be applied. Reading is one of the four basic language skills, and is a part or component of the communication.

Simanjuntak (1988) says that reading habit is the number of repetitions in given time to read the English text. She also says that reading comprehension understands of a text written in English as proved by the ability to correctly choose the right answer of the question asked from the text. The students usually have different level of ability in reading. Mc Shane and Glinow (2007) say that ability is the natural aptitudes and learned capabilities required to successfully complete a task.

The four language skills have a very close relationship with each other, and mutually correlated. A baby in the early stages, he can only hear, and listen to what the people around him say. Then because of the frequent hearing and listening gradually he will imitate sounds or words that are heard by learning to speak. After entering the school age, he will learn to read starting from the known letters to assemble the letters into a word even be a sentence. Then he will begin to learn to write letters, words, and sentences. Language skills correlated with thought processes that underlie language. So there is a phrase, “One’s language reflects the mind”. The more skilled a person speaks the brighter and clear thoughts. Reading activities need to be socialized from an early age, i.e. ranging from children recognizes letters. Make reading as a necessity and be fun for students. Reading can be done anywhere and anytime as long as there is desire, passion, and motivation. If this is true, expected reading can be a part of life that cannot be separated as a slogan that says “No day without reading”. This course requires persistence and continuous pelatihan to train the habit of reading to the reading, especially reading comprehension can be achieved. The ability to read is the speed of reading and understanding all the contents.

Complaints about the poor reading habits and reading skills at the level of upper secondary school (high school) cannot be said to be the negligence of teachers at your school. But this must be returned to the habituation to read when the students are still small. The roles of the parents are more dominant in forming the reading habits of children. How are could a child have t he habit of reading high while his parents never gave an example and guide their children to get accustomed to reading. Because a child will be more interested and motivated to do something if accompanied by the example, not a theory or tell it. When a child enters school age, the teacher has a role in developing interest in reading which then can improve students’ reading habits. Thus, parents and teachers alike have a crucial role in shaping and improving the reading habits of children.

The reality show questions Final Examination Schools (UAS) most demanding students’ understanding in finding and determining the basic mind, the main sentence, read charts, plot, message, settings, and so on. Without the understanding of high reading ability, students may be impossible to answer such questions. This is where the important role of reading comprehension to determine the correct answer. Not to mention with the standard passing score, this triggers Indonesian teachers in particular to be able to achieve the sasaran value.

The first previous research overview is conducted by W Setyaning Budhi Candrawati with the title “A Correlational Study On Students’ Translation Ability, Reading Habit, and Students’ Reading Comprehension of The Tenth Grade Students of Sekolah Menengan Atas N Kebak Kramat Academic Year 2008/2009”.
