Background
Reading is a process of recognition
or interpretation of written materials. Sheng (2001:12) stated
that reading is a process of communication from the writer to the reader. It
involves letters, words, phrases, and clauses. Through reading,
we can get many knowledge and information.
In reading
comprehension, the message to be imposed in the written form and it is the most
important element so the students must recognize it because the primary purpose
of reading is to know the thoughts expressed in the printed material. Therefore, reading with comprehension is very
important way to get contact with the natives and to know how they use their
language in written form to understand the content of the text. It will be
important to make reading activity as effective as possible.
Based on the
result interview of English teacher at X1.IPS
of SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Bontoala Makassar he said that the mean score of the
students’ achievement in reading English at 2010-2011 academic year is very low,
it is about 5,00
and the target score is about 7,00. In this case, the students have to
read critically, and the teacher must select the suitable material to teach it.
Based on the students’
problem above, the researcher will apply Mind Mapping technique in her research
because it is a suitable technique in learning reading. Mind Mapping is one
technique to develop reading comprehension of students because this technique
is more focused on the students’ ability in their group.
