Indicators Question items
Reading Competence
The students’ present competence of reading
1. How is the
competence of the students?
1. I am good at
reading The need of
English The needs of reading for
mechanical engineering students
2. The
importance of reading
competence for students in
their study and future
1. To get a good
score in Mechanical
Engineering subject, I need to
be able to read English article or
text.
2. Kinds of jobs
which I am going to apply requires
me to be able to read kinds of text
in English
3. Most books which
I require to improve my
mechanical skills are in English, so
that, I have to read well in English
Learning process
Learning process of reading competence
The benefit of reading practice
1. I will not be able
to read English if I do not practice
2. By doing a lot of
practice in reading, I will be able to
read mechanical books easier.
3. Predicting and
previewing will make me capable
to read standard operational
procedure SOP and mechanical
references.
4. guessing the
meaning of unknown words
make me more quickly in reading
mechanical references.
5. my knowledge in
mechanical skills will enlarge when
I capable to draw a conclusion from
English references quickly
6. learning
mechanical texts is easier if I can find
idea of mechanical texts quickly,
7. Interpreting text
will help me to be able to study
mechanical references.
The use of Technology
The benefit of CALL in learning reading
The way the use of technology to
teach and learn English reading
in class. 1.
I have used technology
electronic dictionary, short
film in YouTube, googling, in
learning English.
2. When I practice
reading by using computer
application, the features which I
expected are able to provide
interactive exercises so that I
can evaluate my reading skills.
3. Practicing reading
with computer application which
has various features will
encourage to study reading.
4. Reading practice
using computer

application will make me control
the learning speed. 5.
By applying easy - used computer
application in reading exercises
make me capable to operate the
application.
In the research, the researcher made interviews to the students as participants. In the pre- research, the researcher made interviews in order to recognize what problems
the students faced especially in reading. The interviews were given at the end of every cycle as the reflection. Its aim was to recognize how far the action influences
the students reading competence. The meaning of interview is the way of the researcher collecting data from the participant point of view about the problems in
reading and also the learning process by using CALL. The researcher and the participants, mechanical engineering students together
discussed about problems and solution in improving reading competence. The researcher tries to discover the most appropriate technique or strategy in this class
action research. The interview was also conducted to reflect what the students have done with CALL in every cycle. The interview was about the learning process by
using CALL. The result of the interview with students was very important for the process of the action research.
The result of the interview was used to improve the learning process and to improve the achievement of reading competence in every cycle. The qualitative data

of the action research were used to collect the data through the participants’ comments who were involved in the process of doing action research.
The interview was about students’ background knowledge, the needs of reading skills, the problems of reading, and the way of solving the problems, the use of
technology.

The problems of reading in conveying meaning
Some problem which faced by students in conveying meaning
of reading text. The way of solving the problems
The reading skills which need to consider in comprehending
the reading text
The use of CALL in reading
The benefit of CALL in learning reading
There several benefit of CALL which used to improve
students’ reading skills.
The interview was also conducted after the cycle, the students were asked to give feedbacks of what they had done using the cycle. The result of interview was
important because the results of the interview were used to reflect the cycle and they were used to decide the next plan of the cycle.
