It is undeniable that English is an international language, which plays an important part in social life. It links people all over the world in many fields: science, technology, business, communication, education, ect. It also helps people to approach the endless knowledge of the human being. Therefore, teaching and learning English have become the necessity in every country. | What happens in the communication process is the writer or the speaker (the encoder has message in his mind, which he wants somebody else to share. It may be an idea, a fact, a feeling, an agreement To make this possible, he must put it into words: he must encodes it. Then, it is available outside his mind as a text. The text is accessible to the mind of another person who hears it or reads it: who decodes the message it contains. When it is decoded, the message enters the mind of the decoder and communication is achieved. Therefore, reading plays the role as a half of the communication process. It is said that reading is a process through which the reader draws out the full amount of information and understands what the writer wants to say through the message. William, E (1990) (qtd. in Grellet, F, 1990).stated that reading “is a process whereby one looks at and understand what has been written”. “Reading and reading comprehension or understanding a written text means extracting the required information from it as efficiently as possible”. While reading, readers do not only bring their knowledge about the language but also the knowledge about the text, which is considered to be specifically important. Readers build up expectations, make predictions about what is to come and the extent to which their predictions are accurate is one of the factors that influence their reading. This process, therefore, has three elements involved: the text that is read, the background knowledge of the reader and the contextual aspect relevant to interpret the text.
