What to read after READING COMPREHENSION FOR INTERMEDIATE LEVEL?

Teaching English reading comprehension in classroom generally is conducted through giving a reading text and doing some exercises in written form. Actually, it is less effective in the era of oral language. For learners, without knowing the theory of Reading, and strategy make them have to spend much time to read and comprehend a reading text. Comprehending a reading text is not as easy as we thought. Still, some problems occur, for example vocabulary and grammar.

Knowing the weakness of learners’ ability in English language skills, this reading book is designed integrated to other subjects, they are; speaking, pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary which can be seen in its exercises and implementation. This book also can be used as self study learning because it provides theory, and evaluation in reading. Besides that, there is answer key at the back of the book which gives answer or possible answers to some exercises. Glossary is also included with its phonetics description for improving learners’ pronunciation and finding an explanation of certain words used in this book. So, it is really useful for all learners, included college students, teachers and lecturers who want to deepen their knowledge in Reading.

I do believe that this book will give some beneficial impacts to college students, teachers and lecturers or anyone who interested in reading matters. For college students, it can broaden their knowledge about some text types or genre and strategy or techniques in comprehending a reading text faster. Besides that, it can make college students be independents, effective, and efficient learners as self regulated learner. For English teachers, and lecturers, it will make them realize that teaching reading can be implemented integrated to other subjects and have stronger impacts in improving learners’ language skills.
