E. Conceptual Thinking
Reading is one of four skills that students have to master it. But sometimes, students feel confused in finding the meaning of the text and the
teachers find several difficulties in selecting the appropriate media to attract the students.
Media which is used to present procedure texts in the students’ book are not interesting. There, the book just gives the printed sentences so that the
procedure text just contains the sentences from beginning to the end. There is no picture that contained the detail information about the procedural text of making
something. Motivation to read is very important in reading activity. To make the
students motivated, we can make the interesting media. Good teachers also make many activities interesting to make students get more motivation which can give
great importance when reading. So, in case of teaching procedure text, the writer assumes that it is
important to use picture. Using picture can make a text becomes more interesting. Pictures also can help the students to understand the text by illustrating the main
idea of the text. Even, it can give the explanation to an object in a particular culture. In short, it will help students to comprehend the procedure text better by
using picture series as the media in teaching and learning process.
F. Research Hypothesis Based on the theory and the objective of the study, it can be formulated
hypothesis as below:
H : There is no effect of using picture series in teaching reading of procedure
text.
Ha: There is effect of using picture series in teaching reading of procedure text.
