Therefore, the teacher should be able to attract the students’ interest in learning
reading comprehension by using herringbone in the teaching and learning process. From the data gained through observation, the researcher assumed that the
teaching and learning process especially reading comprehension by using herringbone was not well. Even more there were many obstacles faced by teacher
and her students that made the teaching learning process by using herringbone was still less effective and not maximal. But, it did not give the big influence for the
teaching and learning process.
2. Problem Faced by the Teacher in Teaching Reading Comprehension by
Using Herringbone
Having conducted the research, the researcher found the teacher’s problems during
applying of herringbone in teaching reading comprehension at MAN 1 Krui Pesisir Barat. Based on the result of observation see appendix 2 and interview report
see appendix 3, the researcher took some conclusion about teacher’s problem in teaching reading comprehension though herringbone.
The problem that was found teacher had problem to understand the reading materials that were taught to the students. Based
on the researcher’s interview to
the English teacher, the researcher found that the teacher has difficulty in understanding the material because she does not have many references
or teacher’s books see appendix 3, interview result. It was supported by Baradja that said one
the problems of teaching reading is text selection.
Next problem was teacher had difficulties if the students cannot achieve mastery of the basics, the students read very slowly, and the students cannot figure out
inferences, implication and main idea. Then, teacher had problem to design or modify the question and the exercise to engage students’ interest in teaching
reading comprehension, teacher had problem to choose the teaching material in teaching reading comprehension, teacher had problem to give a meaningful
feedback for the students in the process of teaching reading comprehension see appendix 3, the result of interview with English teacher. It was in line with
Baradja, he said the problems in teaching reading are as follows: the students’ lack mastery of the basic, the habit of slow reading, and inability of the students to
figure out inferences, implication and main ideas. In addition, the researcher found some problems of English teacher in supporting,
stimulating and engaging the students to listen the presentation from the teacher, read the text and discuss the text, teacher had problem in time management
manage the times see appendix 2, result of observation. Moreover the English
teacher made the lesson plan that was different with the material that she taught to the students even though the lesson was the teacher guidance in teaching.
Based on the finding in the research above, it can be concluded that theory of Baradja was appropriate with the real condition. Moreover, an English teacher has
to choose the interest material, stimulate, engage manages the class and the time as well, give a good feedback, etc.

Problem Faced by Students in Learning Reading Comprehension by Using Herringbone
The researcher employed observation, interview and questionnaire to know the students’ problems in learning reading comprehension by using herringbone.
Having conducted the research, the researcher found the problems of students in learning reading comprehension through herringbone at MAN 1 Krui Pesisir
Barat.
Some problems which the researcher found during conducting the research were appropriate to theory of Tankersley such as the students have no good vocabulary
mastery, the students have problem to decode words and sentences, students have problem to get main idea of the text and to figure out the inference of the text,
students have problem in speed of reading, students have problem in working memory to remember the text. See appendix 4 for the questionnaire report.
In addition, during the research the researcher found that the students had problems with finding motivation and interest in learning reading comprehension.
Then, they were being passive during learning process and they did not have confidence, they felt afraid to make a mistake in learning reading.
Based on the result of problems above, it can be inferred that the problems explained in the theory were happened to the students, even there were more
problems that happened in the learning reading comprehension by using herringbone. The researcher concluded that the English teacher still cannot do the
steps of herringbone in teaching and learning reading comprehension well, even more there were some weaknesses in several sides and there were many obstacles
faced by the teacher and the students. .
