2. The difference between Students having high Interest and Students
having low Interest.
Interest refers to motivating force which causes individual to give attention to a person, a thing or an activity that strive for particular goal, a condition of
wanting or learns about something, and it refers to attention, satisfaction, motivation, and pleasure. Based on these ideas the students are called having high
interest when they have high willingness or desire to do something. Then, the students who have high interest also usually have better attitudes in joining the
teaching and learning process. They have high desire to pay much attention to the teacher and all the activities which are done in the class. They are more active
than those who have low level of interest. Otherwise, the students who have low interest usually have low willingness, motivation, and desire to do something
especially in reading competence. Furthermore, they also have low desire to pay much attention to the teacher and all the activities which are done in the classroom
activity. Based on the above elaboration, it can be stated that the students who have
high interest will be easier to understand the text being read because they are more interested in solving the problems when they are faced by the difficulties in
reading competence. Otherwise, the students who have low interest will have difficulty in understanding the text being read because they are less willingness or
desire in overcoming their problems. This is caused by their desire to do something, specifically in understanding the text itself.

43 Thus, it is supposed that the students who have high interest have better
reading competence than those who have low interest.
3. The Interaction between teaching model and Students Interest
Teachers have to be more selective on how the students have to be taught. Selecting and using the appropriate models are believed able to teach the students
to have high interest. In contrary, choosing improper models will bring them to have low willingness in learning, especially in understanding the reading texts.
Based on the above elaboration, the students’ reading competence can be influenced by the models used by the teacher. Therefore, the teacher should be
more selective in selecting the teaching models used in the teaching and learning process.
In accordance with the above elaboration, test taking team is supposed suitable for the students who have high interest, because based on the
characteristic of this model, the group studies for the exam together, individual
take the exam, and the group takes the exam. By working together to prepare for the exam, students will help each other to deepen their understanding of the text
content. So it can be stated that this model can only be done by the students who have high interest.
Meanwhile, direct instruction model is supposed as an appropriate teaching model to teach the students who have low interest, because
this teaching model cannot motivate the students well as it is only focused on the academic content. The students tend to be listeners and also depend on the
teachers’ instruction. They wait for the teacher’s help to understand the reading text in order to understand the content of the text.

and students’ interest for teaching reading.
