Goals of Pre-Reading Activity
The
pre-reading activity is established to help students make schemata or prior
knowledge about the text that they want to face. This activity makes students
have background knowledge about the text.
Wilson
and Chase (1985: 326) states “The goals of pre-reading stage are to activate or
build, if necessary) the students‟ knowledge of the subject, to provide any
language preparation that might be needed for coping with the passage, and,
finally, to motivate the learners want to read the text.” The motivation of
reading is built before they read. The aims are to attract students‟ interest
in reading text. When they are attracted to the text, the students will
comprehend the text easily.
Based
on Willis, “The goals of pre-reading is to give students an overview of the
topic, book, or story to be read so they can develop mental templates upon
which to pattern the new information.”(Willis 2008: 131) Therefore, pre-reading
activity is needed in reading class. Giving the students such a predicting cues
to warm up their brains will give many benefits. This activities purpose is to
shape background knowledge to make a base to new information.
In
conclusion, pre-reading activities have beneficial goals in giving students’
preparation before reading. There are some strategies that can be used to make
connection in the readers‟ thought. The most important one is to set reading
purposes before someone begins to read.
