A. Introduction

As has been mentioned in the chapter I, the purposes of the research are to bring to light whether the use of KWL technique improves students’ ability in comprehending English text especially expository ones and to apprehend the strengths and weaknesses when the KWL technique is applied in teaching reading. According to the result of the preliminary study, the tenth graders of SMA Negeri 4 Kendari, especially the class of X I, had difficulties in: a understanding word meaning based on the text; b getting the main idea both the main idea of the text and certain paragraph; c understanding the sentence meaning of simple past and present perfect tense; d identifying detail information from the text, and e understanding the text organization. Observing the class when the teaching and learning process was done by the teacher and the students, the researcher found out that the problems arose because of three aspects. The first one came from the students. They considered reading expository texts as a boring activity especially the long ones with uncommon topics. The students’ vocabulary was also limited that made them difficult to understand the text. As a result, they depended on their dictionary too much. The second aspect was from the teacher. The teaching techniques that the teacher applied in teaching reading were dull and could not help the students to commit to user comprehend the expository texts. As a matter of fact, the teacher applied the same technique in teaching different kind of texts. This condition made the students passive and unmotivated to participate in the process of teaching and learning. The last aspect was the classroom situation. There were 36 students in the class and this is quite large. It made the teacher difficult to control and give attention to each student. As a result, instead of paying attention to the teacher, the students were busy with their own activities such as playing with their note books. Other students would talk to their friends that made the class noisy. Therefore, a new technique is needed to work out those problems. The researcher decided to use KWL technique in conducting this action research. KWL is a technique that fosters students’ prior knowledge. KWL makes the students more active since they are engaged from the very beginning of the step to the end.
