CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter presents the general account of the present study. It covers background of study, limitation and formulation of the problem, objective of the study, the use of research, and contribution of the research.
A. Background of Study Language cannot be separated from our life. We use language as an intrument of communication in our daily life. Language is a means of communication to express a massage of the speaker’s idea to listener; there are many languages in the world but English remains the important language. In Indonesia the government has considered English as the important foreign language and the compulsory foreign language subject must be learnt by students at school in Indonesia. English is given to the students from elementary school up to university level or the other educational places of informal institutions. In learning English, there are four major language skills. Those are listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Listening and reading skills are regarded as receptive skills while speaking and writing skills are considered to be productive skills.1 As one of the basic skills, reading is very useful and important for our life. With this skill, people are able to broaden their knowledge by reading kinds of English text. Reading is also essential for the students, they can develop their knowledge and get more information that is related to their studies through reading book; newspaper; magazine; advertisement although many kinds of written language from article or internet. Reading is one of the diffficult activity for some students, because it involves combination of abilities, such as a linguistic and cognitive abilities. Besides, the students’ motivation is also a mean factor for reading. In second language learning as in every other field it human learning, motivation is the 1

crucial force which determines wether a learner embakrs on a task at all, how much energy he/she devotes to it, and how long he/she perseveres. Regarding those explaination above, reading comprehension is one of the important skills that should be taught firts for students here especially for first grade of SMP Islam Al-Fajar Kedaung. Based on the interview of the teacher, she got difficulties in teaching reading in the classroom. There were some difficulties faced by students in reading activity such as: first, most of students had difficulty of reading a text. Second, they are lowest motivation in learning English actually reading text. In this oppurtunity the writer will observe how the teacher teaches reading text, how the ways she is strategy in teaching reading to improve students’ motivation and how to solve it, because it can be influence their score. Therefore, they cannot pass the examination if their reading comprehension is under-average and not improve. Besides, motivation is important to increase reading comprehension. Motivation is the process whereby goal-directed activity is instigated and sustained.2 Each people are different and requiree a different motivation. Tasks for students may be able to do or not at them to rest time in the class. Finding what motivates each student will help increase student achievement. Sometimes the students does not has motivate or bore to read some text in English language, they assumption that reading a text is too much and difficult to understand. Besides that, they do not reading motivation to read it. Reading motivation is the motivational drive to read, an area of interest in the field of education. Studying and implementing the conditions under which students are motivated to read is important in the process of teaching and fostering learning. To improve their reading motivation, the writer try to make the life situation, the using of tool, colorfull, funny, could increase the students motivation and short story is one of the media to increase thier motivation.

CHAPTER II THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
A. Motivation 1. Definitions of Motivation According Harmer, motivation is some kind of internal drive, which pushes someone to do or think in order to achievement.1 This definition shows that motivation comes from inside of the person who functions to encourage him or her to conduct an activity to achieve her or his purpose. David define motivation is from the base word motive, and motive is the force that impels a person to move toward a certain goal.2 According to David’s definition of motivation as described above that motivation is a power that urges human on a moving his self toward what becomes his object. We can also interpret the word “motive” that David mentioned as something within a person such as as need, ides, organic state, or emotion incities him to actio in orther to realize his imagination. A need, idea organic state, and emotion in certain time can be power of human to move his self to a course of action. The word “motivation” is familiar for us that are commonly used in our society. But definitely what the word actually refers to is not as simple as its utterance. The abstract term motivation on its own rather difficult to define is easier and more useful to think in terms of “motivated” learner: one who willing or even eager to invest effort in learning activities and the progress. Learner motivation makes teaching and learning immeasurably easier and

more pleasant, as well as more productive: hence the importance or the topic for the teacher.3 Motivation is essential of learning to achieve something. Based on the definition illustrated above we can take conclusion that motivation is a power coming from inside and outside of the individual to do an action.
2. Kinds of Motivation Motivation can divided into two kinds, intrinsic motivation (the urgue to engage in the earning activity for its own sake) and extrinsic (motivation that is derived from external incentives). Both or these have an important part to play in classroom motivation, and both at least partially accessible to teacher influence.4 a. Intrinsic Motivation Intrinsic motivation, on the other hand, comes from within, and is generally considered more durable and self-enhancing (Kohn 1996:274). Still, although intrinsic motivation gets much better press, it, too, has its weakness. As Kohn argues, because intrinsic motivation “is a concept that exists only in the context of the individual,” the prescriptions its proponents offer teachers, are often too radically individualized, or too bland and abstract, to be applied in classroom settings. Perhaps it is the tradition of separating extrinsic and intrinsic motivation that flawed. Robert Stemberg and Todd Lubart recently addressed this possibility in Defying the Crowd (1996). The assert that any in-depth examination of the work of high creative people reveals a blend of both types of motivation.

b. Extrinsic Motivation Extrinsic motivation is caused by any number or outside factors, for example, the need to pass exam, the hope or financial reward, or the possibility of future travel.5 Penny Ur stated that: extrinsic motivation is that which derives from the influence of some kind of external incentive, as distinct from the wish to learn for it is own case or interest in task.6 Extrinsic motivated behaviors, are carried out in anticipation or a reward from outside and beyond the self. Extrinsic motivation is important in teaching learning process, to improve or to support their student in learning English, especially reading competence. Intrinsic motivation, however, is more important for the student rather extrinsic.
3. Purpose of Motivation Motivation begins with an understanding of human physiology and emotions including the need for safety, respect, thirst, movement, stimulation, etc. To be sure, teachers cannot satisfy all student needs; they cannot provide a snack for every class. Students generally feel safe from major physical harm in class, but small issues can be distracting. There may be students in class who others find threatening due to some past conflict. Teachers should monitor the class or use surveys to identify special issues like fear.

B. Reading Comprehension 1. Definitions of Reading Reading is one of the basic skills in learning a language. In this sense, John J. De Boer assumed that reading is viewed as an active process where the reader employs visual symbols of printed written language to search for and to reach out meaning.7 Its mean that reading is not only get the information from the text passively but also to process it on mind to understand the meaning. That assumption is in line with a linguist expect, Arthur W. Heilam assumpt that reading is a process of getting meaning from printed word symbols; it is no merely a process of making conventionalize noise associated with these symbols.8 Regarding those definition above, when a reader to get the meaning of the printed written selection, it is obviously needed agreat number of mechanical skills and comprehension skills as process. During that process, many things are happening, like the reader is looking at print material, deciphering the marks on the page in some sense, deciding what they mean and how they related to each other. The reader also is thinking about what he/she is reading. The reading process related to the language form, while comprehension relates to the language content as the end product. Most of readers reading as a simple, as speak passive process that involves reading words in a linear fashion and internalizing their meaning one at a time. Nevertheless, reading is not only translating each word but also involves a cognitive process of understanding a printed message. Based on the definition above, reading is not only getting meaning from word to word or line to line to understand what we read. But also reading is a process of thinking. So for each definition has its own activity, it depends on the reading purpose of the reader.

2. Purpose of Reading There are many purposes in reading activity. The purpose for reading will help the readers focus on information, consequently such purpose are most effective when establish by the reader. Obviously, the purpose for reading should be established before a selection is read. Afterward, the stated purpose can be used as a basic for discussion to determine whether the reader has achieved his goal. As McDonough and Shaw quoted from William that usefully classified reading into: a. “Getting general information from the text b. Getting specific information from a text, and c. For pleasure or interest”9 From the statement above it can be concluded there are two kinds purpose of reading activity. Reading for information usually used in reading task, it is probably seen an as a type of reading ability. Readers read because they have to read. It included the materials which are classified as nonfiction, sciences, social studies, articles, newspaper, etc. Weather reading for pleasure, the reader may read either quickly or slowly based on the way he/she likes, associated largely with novel, short stories, and poems. In addition, Rivers and Temperedly (1993:38) list the following examples of some the reason that L2 student may need or want to read:10 a. To obtain information for some purpose or because we are curious about some topic b. To obtain instruction how to perform some task for our work or daily life (e.g knowing how appliance works) c. To keep in touch with friends by correspondence or to understand business letters d. To know when or where something will take place or what is available e. To know what happening or has happened (as reported in newspapers to magazines, reporters) 9

11
f. For enjoyment or excitement From the explanation above stated by the expert about some purposes in reading, the writer conclude that every reader has different own purposes based on their goal to achieve something.
3. Kinds of Reading When people read, they read for a different purpose, and it determines how people read a text. There are two types of reading related to the purpose. Those are extensive and intensive reading.11 a. Intensive Reading Intensive reading involves approaching the text under the guidance. It is often refers to the careful reading (or translation). The aim is to arrive at an understanding, not only of what the text means, but also of how the meaning is produce. The how is as important as the what.12 In other words, intensive reading is reading shorter text is extract specific information. This activity is likely more to emphasize the accuracy activity in evolving reading for detail. It is used to gaining a deep understanding of a text, which important for the reader. The process of scanning takes a more prominent role here than skimming. Reader is trying to absorb all the information given. For example, reading dosage, instruction for medicine. b. Extensive Reading Extensive reading means to read widely and in quantity. It is generally associated with reading large amounts with the aim of getting an overall understanding of the material. Readers are more concerned with the meaning of the text than the meaning of individual words or sentences.13 11
Jeremy Harmer, The Practices of English Language Teaching, (New York: Longman, 1983), p. 16. 12 Christine Nuttal, Teaching Reading Skill: New Edition, (Wales: Heineman, 1996), p. 38. 13 Julian, Bamford and Richard R. Day, Extensive Reading, What is it? Why bother?, http://www.jalt-publications.org/tlt/files/97/may/extensive. hmtl.
12
Reader deals with a longer text as a whole, which requires the ability to understand the component part and their contribution the overall meaning usually for one’s own pleasure. This is fluency activity mainly involving global understanding. For example, reading a newspaper, article, short story or novel. Besides that, there are two kinds of reading strategies to get out a certain idea from the text according to the reader’s need. Those are skimming and scanning. Skimming is used to get a general idea or information. According to Haris and Sipay, they state skimming involves very superficial, rapid reading to get a general overall impression.14 Skimming permits people to gain a general idea about material when that is their purpose, rather than to read all material in detail. One of useful skimming technique is to read only the first sentence of each paragraph and read the introduction or summary more carefully. So, when skimming the reader goes through the reading material quickly in order to get the gist of it, and to know how it is recognized, or to get an idea. Scanning is used to find specific information that the reader need. According to Harris and Sipay, the state that scanning involves rapid reading to finds the answer to a very specific question, such as a name, a date, a telephone number and so on.15 In scanning, a reader should have purpose in order to find specific information needed because when scanning the reader only tries to locate specific information and he simply let his eyes over the text until he find what he s looking for. The each kind of the reading has been explained above requiring different approaches and techniques in achieving the goal. Therefore a reader using different kinds of reading depends on their purpose.

C. Media for Teaching 1. Short Story a. Definitions of Short Story In Mochtar Lubis book “Teknik Mengarang” B. Mathews said: “It is not short story if there was not a thing to telling,…..short stories has something to deliver, although……”.16 The writer also found in Henry Guntur Tarigan book, also found that Ellery. S said: “Short story is a presentation of a single circumstances or groups which especially impressing a first sight of readers”.17 Based on the statement above the writer can say that short story is a story that happens in short duration, it hasn’t many characters and conflict in it is not so complicated. Therefore, the writer can serve this story in one of information in the story briefly, and the important thing is the students can understand it easily because the words are simple. Beside for the success of language focus purpose, especially in teaching reading, short story also engages students to improve their motivation in reading because of short story has many stories that are made the students interested in read it.
b. Kinds of Short Story 1) Based on the quality Henry Guntur Tarigan said that, “Partitioning of classifying of short stories could be worked in any point of view”; which the general are: a. Based on words b. Based on value.18

14
In his book, Guntur .T also said that based on amount the words which is contain in short story, they have two differences kinds of short story, there are: 1) Short short story 2) Long short story19 Furthermore, he said that short story is a story that consists of fewer than 5,000 words or approximately 16 pages of quarto with double spaces. It can read perhaps in a quarter. And long short story is a story that consists of between 5,000 words or approximately 33 pages of quarto with double spaces. Perhaps it can be read a half hour.
c. Based on the value of literature Henry Guntur said, “When reading short story become a lot, so we know that there are some literaturely important among them, that meets the norms of the literature art itself and beside that there some not, but as entertainment as further”. That clasification means are: 1) Literature short story. 2) Entertainment short story.20
C. The Characteristics of Short Story According to Henry Guntur Tarigan, the writer can conclude that the characteristics of short story as follows: 21 a) The characteristic of short story is brevity, unity, and intensity. b) The main element of short story is scene, character, and action. c) Language that is used in short story must be incisive, suggestive, and alert.

d) Short story must consist of a writer interpretation about his concept about life, either direct or indirect. e) Short story must cause one effect reader opinion. f) Short story must cause a feeling in reading that train of story implicates feeling first, than opinion. g) Short story consist details and incident, which can cause questions in reader opinion. h) Short story consists of an incident that leads to understand the train story. i) Short story must have a main agent of short story. j) Short story must have a main actor. k) Short story must have an interested effect or impression. l) Short story depends on the situation. m) Short story gives a whole effect. n) Short story provides an emotion.
D. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Short Story in Teaching of Reading Advantages There are some advantages if a teacher uses short story in teaching reading. The advantages are as follows: 1) The students can develop their vocabulary. 2) The students are interested in studying the reading subject. 3) The class is more interesting. 4) The student can interest with the stories. 5) The student can motivate and improve their reading ability in reading with read the short story.
16
Besides that, there are at least three good reasons for teaching a short story.22 Disadvantages 1. The students still have a difficult to reading text too much. 2. The students still have a difficult to analysis the story. 3. Have consuming time to teach read.
E. Teaching Reading by Using Short Story Teaching reading by using short story is very interesting to students, because there are at least three good reasons for teaching a short story. It has unity, independent existence, and an embryonic character. When the teacher explained about the material, especially short story the students can give more attention to learn about it. Moreover, short story should not be considered a lower- quality production of an author. In fact, the student can work harder than he would with a novel, as he dedicates more of his time to thinking than to reading new material and thus spends more analyzing. Another advantage lies in the fact that the short stories have an independent existence. Unlike excerpts or chapters in novels, they constitute complete units of meaning. Also, they can be studied as parts of collections and thus provide another dimension.

3) Test Kinds of the test is multiple choice. The test is used to know the students’ motivation before conducting the research and after conducting the result. There are two kinds of test in this research, namely post-test and pre-test. Pre-test is a test was give before the implementation of this research. It is to measure students’ motivation in reading. Post-test is a test which given after the implementation of this research. The result the mean score in post-test of cycle 2 is 78.57. It shows the best achievement, because they had score improvement. They proved the good improvement for the each cycle. The percentage of mean score between pre-test and post-test 2 is 85.71% or 30 students who got the high score. So, it can be concluded that the research is success because the perscentage of students’ mean score of post-test 2 could pass the criterion of research success. 6. Technique of the Data Analysis In this research, the writer uses qualitative data, because the observation during interview and teaching learning process do before and after action research. In analyzing qualitative data, the writer got the average of student’s motivation score per action in one cycle. It used measure how well the student motivation in reading by using short story used this formula:2
X
X n
X = Mean
X = individual score N = number of students

To know the class percentage, the writer used formula as follow:3
P
F 100% N
P = the class percentage F = total percentage score N = number of students After getting the score of students per section, the writer identified whether or not there was improvement of students’ reading skill from pretest to the average of students writing score in cycle 1 and cycle 2. Meanwhile, in analyzing it the writer used the following formula:4 P= y y P 1 100% y
P : percentage of students’ improvement y : pre-test result y1 : post-test 1

B. Research Finding 1. The Description of the Data As mentioned in chapter one, the writer conducted the research field. She got the data from observation, interview, and test; the test is consisting of pre-test and post-test. The pre-test was given before the action research and the post-test was given after action research. Table 4.1 The Students’ Reading Score of Pre-test, Post-test 1, and Post-test 2

To compare the result between pre-test and post test of each cycle, the writer uses some steps, first she calculated the students mean score of the test and then calculating the students improvement score from pre-test in cycle 1 and cycle 2. In analyzing the data of pre-test, the first is to get the mean score of the class. It is calculated as following: X
X n
26
1720 35
49.14
From that calculation, the mean score of the class in pre-test is 49.14. It means that the students’ motivation in reading score before implementing of research is 49.14. The second step is to know the persentage of students’ score who passed the KKM (70). It is calculated by using as follows:
P
F 100% N
P
2 100% 35
P = 5. 71 % From that computation, the students’ score percentage in the pre-test is 5.71%. it means that there are 2 students who passed the KKM and there are 33 students are still below the KKM.
And then, the writer calculates the result of the post test 1 to know the students’ score improvement from the pre-test to post test 1. There are three steps to get this improvement. Those are calculating the students’ mean score of the class, calculating the students’ improvement score into percentage and calculating the class percentage. The first step is to calculate the mean score of post-test 1. The calculated as follow: X
X n
2140 35
27
61.14
From the calculation, the students’ mean score in post-test cycle 1 is 61.14. It means that the students’ motivation in reading mean score after using short story or after implementation of research showed the improvement, it is 61.14. If we compare with the previous test (pre-test) score 49.14, the differences is 12.00 points by calculation as follows 61.14 – 49.14 = 12.00. So, the writer could say that the improvement students’ reading score is 12.00. The second is to get the percentage of students’ improvement score from pre-test to post-test 1. The writer computers by using as follows:
P
y1 y 100% y
61.14 49.14 100% 49.14
12 .00 100% 49.14
24 .42 %
Based on that computation, the percentage of the students’ improvement score from pre-test to post-test 1 is 24.42 %. It shows that the score in the cycle 1 has improved 24.42 % from the pre-test score. The thrid step is to know the percentage of students who passed the KKM. The calculation by using as follow:
P
F 100% N
P
7 100% 35
P = 20.00 %
28
From the calculation, the class persentage which passed the KKM is 20.00%. it means that in cycle 1 of research, there are 7 students who passed the KKM and there are 28 students’ whose score are below the KKM. Even though it is still needed more improvement because it could not achieve yet 70% as the target of succes research. Furthermore, in the cycle 2 of this study the writer also calculates the result of post-test 2 to know further the score improvement either from the resultof pre-test or post-test 1. There are three steps to know this improvement. Those are to calculate the mean score of the class, to calculate the persentage of the students’ improvement score, and to calculate the class persentage which passed teh KKM (seventy).
Firstly is to calculate the mean score of the class in the post-test 2. The calculating as follows: X
X n
2750 35
78.57
From the calculation, the mean score of the class in post-test 2 showed the valuaby improvement, it is 78.75. It means that some students’ improvement score. Second, to calculate the percentage of students’ improvement score, the writer computers as follows: P
y2 y 100% y
78.57 61.14 100 % 61.14
17 .43 100 % 61 .14
28.50
29
Based on that computation, it could be seen taht the post-test 2 improves 28.50% from the pre-test or 4.08% (28.50-24.42). The last step is the writer tries to get the class persentage whose pass the KKM. It uses the calculation as following:
P
F 100% N
P
30 100% 35
P = 85.71 % From that calculation, the class percentage is 85.71%. It means that in the cycle 2 there are 30 students who passed the KKM and there are only 5 studennts are below the KKM. The class percentage of post-test 2 obviously shows some improvements from the previous test.
2. The Interpretation of Test Result The interpretation of the data results among the pre-test, the post-test of cycle1 and the post-test cycle 2 are as following: In the pre-test, the mean score of students on reading text before research is 49.14. It is the students’ motivation in reading score before they use short story technique. Meanwhile, the class percentage which pass the KKM is 5.71%. it means that there are only two students who are able to passe the KKM 70 (seventy). Afterwards, the mean score in the post-test of cycle 1 is 61.14. It means that as good achievement-mean score that the students got because they could pass the minimal standard score that the teacher declared. This is assumed that the mean score from pre-test to post-test 1 improved. And the improvement score is 61.14 – 49.14 = 12.00 or the improvement is 24.42 %. Meanwhile, the class percentage which pass KKM in post-test 1 is 20.00%. it shows there are 7 students who passe the KKM and there are 28 students whose score still under KKM.
30
However, it is still needed more improvement because it could not achieve the targetyet of success research , that is 70% from the class percentage. That is why the writer and the teacher continue to the second cycle. Next, the mean score in post-test of cycle 2 is 78.57. It shows the best achievement, because they had score improvement. They proved the good improvement for the each cycle. The percentage of mean score between pre-test and post-test 2 is 85.71%. So, it can be concluded that the research is success because the perscentage of students’ mean score of post-test 2 could pass the criterion of research success, 70 %.

The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out.

A donkey looked in at the window and saw the man and the dog."Why does he not make a pet of me?" said the donkey. "It is not fair. I work hard, and the dog only wags its tail, and barks, and jumps on its master's knee. It is not fair."Then the donkey said to himself, "If I do what the dog does, he may make a pet of me." So the donkey ran into the room. It brayed as loudly as it could. It wagged its tail so hard that it knocked over a jar on the table. Then it tried to jump on to its master's knee.
