Language is a form of human communication tool in the form of a symbol of a speech sound through headphones, where every sound that came from a sense. Language is a key staple for human life in this world, because the language is able to interact with a neighbor and language resources for the community. As for the language to be used when a mutual understanding or mutual understanding close  relationship  with  the  use  of  language  resources  that  we  have.  We  can understand the meaning and purpose of speaking or talking when we listen well to what is said.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF STUDENTS’ READING ACHIEVEMENT BETWEEN THOSE TAUGHT THROUGH PREDICTIVE
BAB I
INTRODUCTION
Reading  was  strongly  recommended  for  all  students  who  learn  English  subject.  By  reading,  the  students  can  get  information  and  knowledge  from  the  text.    The students are expected to be good at reading.  Good at reading means the students used  their  prior  knowledge  for  connecting  words  to  their  thoughts.    In  line  with the  concept  of  reading  as  an  active  process  which  was  important  when  reading process, the readers have to involve the interaction between thought and language.  In fact, based on the information from the teacher when the researcher conducted pre  research  in  SMAN  1  Kota,  the  teacher  said  that  some  students  were successful  in  comprehending  the  text  like  narrative  text  but  the  others  still  have some problems in comprehending the texts especially in getting the main idea and find the specific information from the text.  In addition, their problems were also related  to  some  factors  such  as,  identifying  the  main  idea  of  the  passage.  Moreover, the students also tended to be passive and the teacher was the centred, and  they  do  not  focus  during  the  learning  process.    When  the  teachers  give  the students  some  questions  and  asked  them  to  give  the  answer  directly,  they  could not answer or gave the responds quickly. 
Moreover, there  was one important factor that  might also influence the students’ problems  in  reading  that  was  the  reading  technique.    Based  on  the  information from the students, they said that they got bored because the teacher used the same technique  in  every  reading  activity.    Therefore,  the  researcher  assumed  that  the students’ problems were also caused by the same old teaching technique used by???????????

AN ITEM ANALYSIS ON ENGLISH SUMMATIVE TEST FOR SECOND GRADE STUDENTS OF SMP
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This  introduction  chapter  presents  background  of  the    study,  statement  of research    problems,    objectives    of    the    research,    significance    of    the    research,  scope and  limitation  of the  research,  and definition  of  key terms.
A.  Background  of the Research
Evaluation  is  an  important  part  of  every  teaching  and  learning experience.  It  gives  big  contribution  for  the  teaching  and  it  provides information about the students‟ progress which can be used by the teachers to manage  the  learning  task  and  students.  As  stated  by  Dicksin  et  al  (1992:3): “Evaluation  is  important  for  the  teacher  because  it  provides  a  wealth  of information  to  use  for  the  future  direction  of  classroom  practice,  for  the planning  of  courses  and  for  the  management  of  learning  tasks  and  students”. Evaluation  also  can  be  said  as  the  process  to  make  desirable  decision  toward teaching  and  learning  based  on  the  information  that  has  been  collected, synthesized,  and  reflected  on.  Lyle  F.  Bachman  (1990:22)  states,  “Evaluation can  be  defined  as  the  systematic  gathering  of  information  for  the  purpose  of making  decision”.
Depending  on  the  decision  being  made  and  the  information  a  teacher needs  in  order  to  inform  that  decision,  testing  often  contribute  to  the  process as  the  implementation  of  evaluation.  Surely,  a  test  is  one  kind  of  evaluation????
