40 the result will not satisfy him. So, the interest can make the goals of something

1. The difference between Test Taking Teams and Direct Instruction Model
Test taking teams is supposed more effective than the direct instruction model where the students will be more active. The teacher centrality no longer
happens in this model. Student centrality is more considered in this model. The cooperation among the students while they are doing subsection of certain topic
and understanding the material in the text given to them are also important thing in test taking teams. Test taking teams will automatically force the student to be
more active in acquiring the academic content without neglecting their social and human relation with other students unconsciously. The teacher’s goal in holding

high level on interest they will have high interest in reading many texts that the teacher gives to them. They like to read anything that the teacher gives to them.
They like to read anything that the teacher gives to them which is used interesting topic. They will be active in joining the teaching learning process especially in
reading because they have high level of interest. Test taking teams and student’s interest are supposed to have interaction toward student’s reading competence.
Meanwhile, direct instruction model seems can satisfy the students in joining the reading class. They depend on the teacher’s explanation and
translation almost all the times in reading class. They wait and wait until all the words are translated by the teacher to get the message of the text given to them.
This does not promote achievement in interest, thinking and problem solving. In this model the students also have low level of interest to nearly all the activities,
texts, tasks, and test given to them. That’s why direct instruction model is supposed more effective for students who have low level of interest toward
students reading competence. Thus, it can be assumed that test taking teams is more effective than direct
instruction model in teaching reading.
