CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEW
In chapter II we present literature review related to the topic of discussion in this report. There are five main topics, they are the definition of teaching, learning,
reading and descriptive text.
A. Teaching
According to Brown teaching means showing or helping someone to learn how to do something, giving instruction, guiding in the study of something,
providing with knowledge, causing to know or understand Brown, 1990:7. “Teaching is guiding and facilitating learning, enabling the learner to learn, setting
the condition for learning” Brown, 1990:7. According to Oxford Advanced learner’s dictionary teaching is to give
somebody information about a particular subject, to help somebody learn something Hornby, 1995: 1225.
From the definition of teaching above, we can conclude that teaching is giving information or knowledge to someone before people knows about material
until people knows and understand.
B. Learning
According to Hamilton and Gathala 1994:9 learning and instruction learning is relatively permanent change in an individual’s knowledge or behavior
that result from previous experience.

A more specialized definition by Kimble and Garmezy learning is a relatively permanent change in a behavioral tendency and is the result of
reinforced practice Kimble and Garmezy, 1963:133. Brown stated “Learning is acquiring or getting of knowledge of a subject or a skill by study, experience, or
instruction”.Brown,1990:7 It means that learning is a chance in knowledge or behavior. This part of
the definition reflects the fact that theorist differ in their view of what is learned from previous experience. Behavioral theorist focus on changes in knowledge. It
means that learning is process to get information or knowledge resulting someone know or understand something and make a permanent change in behavior.
According to brown, it is the component of the definition of learning: 1.
