3. Reading
a. The Definition of Reading
Reading is one of the language skills in studying English. Reading is an activity which is associated with written symbol such as sentence, text, articles
and other media in order to understand the idea. There are many definitions of reading. Simanjuntak
1988 defines that “Reading is the process of putting the reader in contact and communication with ideas” p. 3. Kustaryo 1988 also adds
that reading is an activity of recognition of the various written symbols which contains knowledge, information and ideas. In this research, reading means an
activity of interpreting and getting information from various written symbols of hortatory exposition texts in English magazines
to encourage students’ reading motivation and enhance students’ vocabulary in learning English as a foreign
language.
b. Reading Purposes
There are many reading purposes. Reading the written media such as books, magazines, newspapers and others gives the chance to explore a lot of
information. Farrell 2009 also states that reading is the greatest pleasures. It helps in many ways. Reading provides the reader entertaiment, education,
communication and even information about past, present and even future. McNeil,
17 Donant and Alkin 1980 also have the same idea that reading has three main
purposes: reading for entertaiment, reading for understanding and reading for information.
c. Reading Techniques
The new information is produced quickly everyday. In order to make ourselves up to date with the recent information in all aspects in life, we should be
able to accept the information quickly. In order to accept the information quickly, there are many reading techniques. Kustaryo 1988 states that “different types of
reading materials call for different reading techniques” p. 4. The students should be flexible in choosing the reading techniques. It should be fit with the aim of
reading. Moyle 1972 argues that individual needs of the students are as the main factor in choosing teaching method and materials. In this research, the researcher
used skimming as the reading technique. Kustaryo 1988 defines skimming as a reading technique to look for the most important pieces of information of what the
author is saying without a lot of detail information.
