E. Rationale
Based on the reviewed theories above, the writer proposes the basic assumption to develop hypotheses as follows:
1. Internet-based material and textbook material to teach reading
comprehension achievement for university students.
Internet-based material makes the learning and teaching more effective, attractive, meaningful, and successful. Internet-based material becomes especially
important for some reasons. Firstly, using internet-based material for reading comprehension and in theirs capacity as a tool. Nowadays, people know that
internet is interesting. Internet-based material in education is a well-recognized fact.
Internet-based material allows teachers or lecturers and students to keep up with their minds. It lets them try their ideas as soon as they come up with them.

information accessed, to improve efficiency teaching and learning, and to build profound human understanding across cultural boundaries. In the coming century,
teachers or lecturers can and must search for creative ways to bring English and technology together so that the university students have opportunity to learn by
doing. Besides, textbook tends to be general, noncontroversial, and bland so they
do not consider local issues or community problems. They are usually written for a national audience. They might not meet the needs and interests of any particular
group of students. Thus, it can be supposed that internet-based material is more effective than textbook material to teach reading comprehension.
