FRAME OF THEORY, FRAME OF THINKING AND HYPOTHESIS
A. Frame of Theory
1. Concept of Reading
In teaching learning process, reading is one of basic skill that students must
be mastered, in the classroom, reading subject is used as anpportunity
to teach pronunciation. Setiyadi said hat reading will be given as soon
language learners have good ability of listening and speaking, reading can
be introduced. Reading lesson may be give in a single class or it may be
added assupplementary work. It means taht, reading is very important in the
classroom and anility for language learner.
Read in the name of your lord who created. he created man from a clot.
read and your lord is most honorable, who taught (to write) with the
penaught man what he knew not.(Q.S Al-alaq :1-5).

2. Types of Reading
According to Harmer, there are to types of reading process: intensive
and extensive reading.
a. Intensive Reading
The term intensive reading, on the other hand, refers to the detiled focus
on the contruction of reading texts which takes place usually in
classroom. Intensive reading means shorters texts to extract specific
information this activity is likely more to emphasize the accuracy activity
involving reading for detail. The process of scanning takes a more
prominent role here than skimming. Reader is trying to absorb all the
information given. Example: Reading dosage intruction for medicine.
b. Extensive Reading
Extensive reading refers to reading which students do often away from
the classroom. Reader deals with a longer as a whole, which requires the
ability to understand the component part and their contribution the
overall meaning, usually for ones‟ own pleasure. This is a fluency
activity, mainly involving understanding. Example: Reading a newspaper
article, short story or novel. The main ways are:
1) Scanning, we only try to located specific information and often we
do not even follow the lincarity of the passage to do so. We simply
let our eyes wander over the text until we find what we are looking
for, whether it is a name, a date, or a less specific piece of
information.

Comprehension means that the reader gets new information and understand
what they have not understood yet, after they read. In addition, brown
states that reading comprehension primarilly a matter of developing
appropriate, efficient comprehension strategies. It means comprehension is
the process to construct meaning to understand about something and make
the students are able to answere and understand a descriptive reading
question form. There are some criteria are commonly used in measuring
students reading comprehension abillity, they are as follows:
a. Main idea (topic)
b. Expression/ idiom/ pharases in context.
c. Infrence (implied detail).
d. Gramatical features.
e. Detail (scanning for a specifically stated detail).
f. Excluding facts not written (unstated detail).
g. Supporting idea.
h. Vocabulary in context.
Based on the theories, it can be concluded that reading comprehension is a
process done by reader to get information contained in the text namely by
understanding an existing text reading.
5. Concept of Teaching Reading Comprehension
Classroom reading activities are generally seen as the main part of
language teaching and learning. The success of second language abilities is
influenced and depends pon reading. The teacher must be able to motivate
students by selecting material and choosing appropriate technique. In
English language teaching, the teacher of reading should be the main
priority for the teacher to be considered when the students begin their
schooling.
Murcia states that the learner will achieve learning goal when the act of
learning reading is the main of learning and the main of reading instruction
is the set of task. It means that teaching reading, requires reading tasks
11
Based on the explanations above, it can be concluded there are many kinds
of texts in teaching writing for students of junior high school and each
students must be able to understand the generic structure and language
feature of the texts.
8. Concept of Narrative Text
According to Siahaan, narrative text is any written English text in which the
writer wants to amuse, entertain people, and to deal with actual or vicarious
experience in different ways. It means that narrative text is kind of the text
tell the reader about story, as if the readers take part in the story that is
purposed to amuse the readers. According to Knapp, narrative text is a piece
of the text which tells a story to entertain and inform the reader and listener.
The generic structures of narrative text are orientation, complication,
evaluation, and resolution. While the language feature as follows focuses on
specific participant, uses past tense, uses time connective and conjunction
uses saying verb.
According to Pardiyono Narrative is story that talk about past actions or
events that cause problems and give reason to the reader. It means that
narrative text is a story of the past to invite readers to know about past
events or events.
Based on the those theories, it can be concluded that narrative is a text that
retell the actual or vocarious experience that is done in the past to entertain
and to give the moral lesson for the reader.
a. Social Function of Narrative Text
The social function of narrative text is to amuse entertain and to deal with
actual or vicarious experience indifferent ways, narrative deals with
problematic events which lead to a crisis or turning point of some kind,
which in turn finds a resolution. It means that the purpose of narrative is
to give to entertain and deal with actual or vicarious experience
indifferent ways, which is the evaluation shows now the problem starts.
Then, there will be complication which the problem aries. The resolution
comes to solve the problem in story narrative.

5) Unlike liner text, Mind Map show not just the facts but the
relationship between fact, thus giving the students a deeper
understanding subject.
6) He physical volume of lecture notes is dramatically reduced.38
b. Disadvantages of Using Mind Map
Eppler says in Devies that there are some disadvantages of Mind Map
in teaching reading, they are as follows:
1) A disadvantages of Mind Map is that types of links being made
are limited to simple associations.
2) Absance of clear links between ideas is a constrains. Mind Map
have been said to be idiosyneratic in terms of their design, often
hard for others to read, representing only hierarchical relationship
(in radial form), inconsistent in trems of level of detail, often to
complex and missing the „big picture‟.
16. Teaching Reading Comprehension on Narrative Text by Using Mind
Map Technique.
The procedure of teaching reading by using mind map technique are as
follows:
1) Teaching vocabularies in pre- reading stage
2) Represent understanding in reading comprehension in post- reading
stage
3) Brain storming to activate vocabularies schema in pre-reading stage
4) Working in groups to answer comprehension questions during
while reading stage
5) Constructing mind maps and present it to class.
Start in the center of a blank turned sideways.
Use a image or picture for your central idea.
Use colours throughout.
Connect you main branches to the central image and connect your
second and third-level branches to the first and second levels, etc.
Make your branches curved rather than straight-lined.

3) Only bright and intelligent students learn to read aloud very well
because they get chance frequently while avarage/students hardly
get the chanced of reading, so they become the passive learners.
Reading Aloud Technique takes more time so it is time
consuming. All students cannot read at a time so manging
classroom become impossible.
B. Frame of Thinking
Reading is one of the important thing to get any information. The teacher uses
reading aloud technique. Reading Aloud Technique is a useful activity to
practice accurate decocting and it is a useful activity in its own right people
gain pleasure from listening to stories and talks and from reading stories to
others. School case, reading is an essential skill because the students face
written text in their texts books almost every day. In fact, the students face
difficulties in learning process, especially in learning English. It is a serious
problem because the difficulties influence other teaching and learning
component. The students are not able to comprehend a passage well, so they
cannot understand information of the passage comprehensively. There should
be a solution to solve this problem.
From the previous theoritical review, the research will solve this problem by
using Mind Map Technique. There were several advantages of the use of the
Mind Map in the learning process. The Mind Map Technique helps the
students to simplify a concept and description, to balance human brain activity,
to guide them reading a text in a joyful way, to invite them to make innovation,
and to help them to recall any information they have read easily. The Mind
Map Technique of reading a written text is one of effective ways to
comprehend the text.
This technique is considered appropriate with the condition of the students
there. It can make the students feel comfortable and get high score if learn text
narrative, with the learning activities and achieve the aims of the reading skill.
26
There force, the Mind Map Technique is an appropriate technique to solve the
problem identified by the researcher in the class IX at SMP PGRI Gumelar.
C. Hypothesis
Based on the theories and statements above, the researcher state the hypothesis
as follows:
Hₐ : There is a significant influence of using Mind Map Technique
towards students‟ reading comprehension.
Hₒ : There is no a significant influence of using Mind Map Technique
towards students‟ reading comprehension.
