CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, the researcher describes the background of the study,
identification of the problem, limitation of the problem, problem statement, objective
of the study, significance of the study, and definitions of key term.
A. Background of the Study
Reading is one of the important language skills. By reading, people may
get a lot of information. The more he/she reads, the more information he/she will
get. Reading makes someone smarter and creative. As stated by Laddoo (in
Furqon F, 2012) reading forces the reader’s brain cells to work on a regular basis
as this will keep the reader sharper and smarter. Even though some information
can be obtained without reading, for example by listening to teacher, seminar,
radio, television etc, but by reading someone may get wider information than
listening. For example, someone who reads a newspaper will get more
information than someone who watches news on television. A reader can read the
text again when he/she forgets or tries to get detailed information, while a
listener cannot. This is supported by Willis (in Furqon F, 2012) who states that
by reading, someone can find the information he/she needs with specific
information.
Reading comprehension is one of the most significant skill that language
learner must master according to Acbersold and Field (in Abdulaziz
Abdulrahman Abanomey, 2012). English as a Foreign Language (EFL), have
2
been reported that the students face some problems with English reading
comprehension Freedle & Kostin, 1993; Kheirzadeh & Tavakoli (in
Mustafa,Faizal et.al, 2019).
In most cases, even the students have formally studied English since
elementary school, they do not have good English reading habbit (Iftanti, 2012).
The fault of the English teachers to guide students to have higher levels of
thinking in the reading classrooms make them have less ability in reading
strategy consequently (Sulhan, 2015).
There are at least six aspects of reading comprehension must be mastered
by the readers; getting the main idea, inference ability, reference, identify detail
information, guessing the meaning of words or vocabulary knowledge and also
the generic structure of the text. But in fact the less of ability in comprehend the
reading text happen to the students because they don’t know to mastery those of
reading aspects and they have no ability in comprehend it, so the students unable
in getting the message from the text and they will be failure in answering the
question related to the text, and also supported by the unavailability tools to gain
their motivation and interest to learn more.
Teachers might often face problems of time arrangement to discuss all
teaching material as planned in one meeting in the classrooms. It was due to two
different factors; practical factor and professional factors. The practical factor
refers to the large number of students in class, class size, time allotment, lack of
appropriate resources to support the implementation of the approach. While,
3
professional factors may cover the teacher preparations, mastery of the discussed
topics, and teaching-learning strategies (Marcellino, 2008). Hence, students have
insufficient of time to deliver questions for unclear matters and teachers may not
satisfy their explanation to the students due to the limited time. Another problem
emerges in such a way that teachers lost opportunity to fully concentrate in the
teaching activities. Teaching in a crowded classroom can cause failure to attract
students' attention and involvement as some students may make noises and not
focus in the learning process.
In the conventional methods of language teaching, the instructors for the
most part instruct just through text books which is not fascinating for students.
Therefore, EFL learners confront some difficulties in their reading
comprehension as a result of factors such as reading strategies, absence of
motivation and lack of good materials. So, foreign language teachers have to
appoint different materials and tools with the intention to be exciting, up-to-date
and efficient (Amir Mohammadian et.al, 2018). The teachers also told that their
students were not used to reading very often and when they had to, their
interaction with reading materials was not very positive.
Along with the current conditions where pandemics occur throughout the
world including in our Country, almost all aspects of life are disrupted and
paralyzed including in the education field. The educational institutions are all
closed both in formal and non-formal education, all teaching and learning
activities are stopped and closed, all students are required to remain at home
4
during the pandemic as the goverment instruction based on WHO notice. It is of
course make the teaching and learning process disrupted. But does the teaching
and learning process have to stop just like that? the students must keep learning,
and get their education rights whatever the situation is.
To address this phenomenon the goverment has issued new regulations in
the teaching and learning process to overcome the limitations of teaching and
learning activities as long as students must stay at home so that they still be able
to continue their learning activities. Current technological advances have made it
possible to support in all aspects of life, including in the world of education.
Technology has made a teaching and learning activity not only be done face-to-
face but also can be carried out anytime and anywhere, even from a distance.
Electronic learning media is the solution to the problems faced today, online
learning media which is one of electronic learning media can be an option that
supports teaching and learning activities in this situations.
Nowadays learning and teaching English has become easy and
interesting. E-learning today has been an important factor in many industries and
teaching is one of them; especially teaching languages. E-learning has introduced
some approaches and notions of teaching that have made the teachers and learners
to implement better and effective in teaching and learning a language. Use of
computers and innovative technologies has become an essential part of e-learning
and teaching process including distance learning. The online learning make it
possible for the learners to send or receive assignments through e-mails and can
5
also participate in online exams. Teachers can view their students’ work online at
any time. Learners will not miss their lessons as they can see and listen to the
teacher through an online webcam and receive tests, quizzes, and notes from
electronic online whiteboards. There are numerous free internet-based software
and websites also available on the Internet that learners can use them as E-
learning tools and enhance their English language skills (Khaled Kordi
Tamandani and Mehrnaz Jahanshahi, 2016).
Teacher and student interaction can be built via online-learning in the
process of teaching and learning at anytime and anywhere. Online-learning is an
alternative in which teachers, have another way of delivering their teaching
materials to students outside the classrooms said Mohammadi et al.,(in Nina
Dwiastuty et al, 2018).
Previous studies have revealed that learners’ use of effective and
appropriate online learning strategies will lead to successful academic
achievement. Artino, & Jones, et.al (in Settha Kuama Usa Intharaksa, 2016)
argued that employing effective online learning strategies is essential because, in
doing so, students learn faster, have more pleasure, and learn more efficiently
and effectively.
Therefore, according to the background explain above, the researcher is
interest in carring research untitled “Students’ mastery on reading
comprehension through online learning” ( A Descriptive Study to the Eight
Grade students at the SMP Muhammadiyah 7 Bayat, Klaten in the Academic
6
Year of 2020/2021 ). This research was conducted at SMP Muhammadiyah 7
Bayat. The population of this research is the 8th grade students of SMP
Muhammadiyah 7 Bayat, Klaten in the 2020/2021 academic year.
B. Identification of Problem
1. Students have difficulty in mastery reading comprehension aspects (
Identifying the main idea of the text, making inference, recognizing reference,
understanding detail information, guessing the meaning of words or
vocabulary knowledge and also finding the generic structure of the text) so
they failed in comprehending reading text.
2. Students' have less in practice their reading skills, in the other hand the
education has not provided a learning approach model that is aligned with the
needs of students. English teachers fail to guide students to have higher levels
of thinking in the reading classrooms. Instead, the teaching or reading
comprehension occur in the lower levels of cognition.
3. Students do not have good English reading habit, they were not used to
reading very often and their interaction with reading materials was not very
positive.
4. The teachers sometimes failed in applying the proper methods in teaching
English in order to help the students in comprehending and mastering English
language and to motivating and growing the students’ interest.
5. Teachers might often face problems of time arrangement to discuss all
teaching material as planned in one meeting in the classrooms. It was due to
7
two different factors; practical factor and professional factors. The practical
factor refers to the large number of students in class, class size, time
allotment, lack of appropriate resources to support the implementation of the
approach. While, professional factors may cover the teacher preparations,
mastery of the discussed topics, and teaching-learning strategies (Marcellino,
2008).
6. Students have insufficient of time to deliver questions for unclear matters and
teachers may not satisfy their explanation to the students due to the limited
time.
7. Teachers lost opportunity to fully concentrate in the teaching activities and
crowded classroom is causing failure to attract students' attention and
involvement, as some students may make noises and not focus in the learning
process.
C. Limitation of the Problem
The limitation of the study had function to specify the object of the
research. The Reseacher limits the study on “Students’ mastery on reading
comprehension through online learning to the eight grade students’ of SMP
Muhammadiyah 7 Special Program Bayat in the academic year of 2020/2021”.
The limitation is focused to describe on the six reading aspects namely;

materials.
G. Definition of Key Term
The definitions of the key terms are intended to avoid misunderstanding of
the concepts used in this research. The terms used in this research are
operationally defined as follows:
1. Descriptive Study
Hadi (in Dilarasati 2017: 6) stated that descriptive study is a study
which only describe the condition of an objector its event without taking
general conclusions. Based on the statement above, what is meant by
descriptive study is a study which describes the students’ mastery of reading
comprehension of the eight grade students of SMP Muhammadiyah 7 Special
Program Bayat in academic year 2020/2021.
10
2. Mastery
Hornby (in Indriarti, 2014) stated that mastery is great knowledge about
or understanding of a particular thing. In this study, “mastery” means great
knowledge about or understanding of the 8 Grade students’of SMP
Muhammadiyah 7 Bayat in academic year 2020/2021 on reading
comprehension.
3. Reading comprehension
Reading comrehension is a interaction activity in extracting and
constructing meaning process that simultaneously that involvement to written

learning that takes place partially or entirely over the Internet. This definition
excludes purely print-based correspondence education, broadcast television or
radio, video conferencing, video cassettes, and stand-alone educational
software programs which do not have a significant Internet-based instructional
component. In this online learning process the learner / students can acess the
internet and the learning ang teaching process with the lecturer / teacher at
anytime and anywhere. They can manage the activity schedule flexibility.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION, IMPLICATION AND SUGGESTION
After doing a research and analyzed the data, the researcher presents the
conclusion, implication and suggestion to the reader :
A. Conclusion
Based on the analysis above:
1. The researcher has concluded in general that the students’ mastery of reading
comprehension ability to the eight grade students of SMP Muhammadiyah 7
Bayat was good, it showed to the total mean of the students’ is 75. Acording
to the Arikunto 75 is on the good level category and above the school
minimum mastery criteria (above 67).
2. The aspect of reading comprehension that the students’master the most in
grade VIII of SMP Muhammadiyah 7 Special Program School’students are
recognizing reference aspect with the class mean score 93.6 as the highest
class mean score aspect, there are 92% students achieved very good score
category. The second is finding detail information aspect with the class mean
score 92, and 92% students achieved very good score . The third place taken
by vocabulary knowledge aspect with the 83.6 class mean score achievement,
there are 74 students achieved very good score, followed by the making
inference aspect with the class mean score 75.2 and there are 60% students
achieved very good score, indentifying the main idea of the text with the class
75
mean score 60.8 with 22% students achieved very good acore and the last is
finding the generic structure of the text aspect with the class mean score 46
with very good score achieved by the 8% students.
The students’motivation to learn did not decrease although they stay at home
and studied by online learning. The alternative methods and tools that the
teacher used in teaching and learning activity made the students feel
enthusiast and interested. Their activities, attention and participation in doing
their learning and excercises was good.
B. Implication
The fact that nowadays students is familiar with the IT platform, make the
online learning is easy to be done and acceptable.
The different lesson form that the teacher gave to the students, such as
offline / online video from internet, reading text taken from social medias, and the
flexibility time and place of online class made the students feel different
excitement.
When the students feel excited to learn something interesting, the need and
effort to comprehend is rising when there are some parts that they do not
understand, the interest motivate them to enhance their knowledges and skill. For
example when they are interested in the story of short video they watched in
social medias or youtube, so they would like to make themselves understand in
every part of the story content such as the vocabulary / words they do not
understand. They watched or learning using mobile or computer that provide
76
online search engine that “knows everything” that they can not do in the face-to-
face class they usualy attend. In normal learning and teaching process usualy
using text book, LED or LCD video, being in the boring classroom, limited time,
passive and less two-way interaction between teacher and students.
The new various sources of materials, unlimited time and place and learning
and teaching method that their teachers had provided made them improved their
interest, even their opportunities to gain their creativities, idea and finally their
achievements.
For the teacher, requirement of online teaching and learning process leads
them to be able to provide and operating any online platform. For some oldschool
and traditional teacher it is a brand new method or even they do not have any
sufficient experiences with the online platform and electronic media and they
forced to learn it, the good part is this can be a good opportunity to raise their
ability and skill in teaching using a new modern techniques, explore and enhance
their knowledge and human resources.
C. Suggestion
