A. Background
In globalization and era information English was one of the
foreign languages taught in school considered as the important one in grasping
knowledge, science, and technology. Most of the books, mass media and articles
use English. Therefore, the student read books in English to increase their
knowledge and to be more aware of technology development. The English language
