Chapter I:  Introduction

1.1       Background

Reading is an important thing in teaching-learning English. Reading, of course, is not only about how to read the text, but also how to comprehend the content of the text. Generally speaking, there are 2 activities in teaching-learning reading, 1) reading, and 2) post-reading activities.  But, there is one more activity that is also often used by teachers in teaching reading, that is pre-reading activity.

Pre-reading activities are some kinds of activities that are done before the reading process. These activities usually consist of question which is related to the content of the text that will be read next. By pre-reading activities, students are expected to get an image of what they will read or learn from the text.

These activities, however, are not used by teachers in every class of reading. Some teachers use these activities first before begin the reading process. On the other hand, some teachers don’t use the pre-reading activities to start the reading process.

Because of this fact, I think a research to investigate the comparison of the students’ reading comprehension between a class which uses pre-reading activity and a class which doesn’t use it before their reading process, is needed.
