THEORITICAL REVIEW

Indonesia is one of the developing countries that has not escaped the age of
globalization. In the face of this era, aspects of Human Resources (HR), especially
students, are required to be able to master one of the basic capital of the competition
in the form of mastery of English. Mastery of English is not only used as a means of
communication and interaction in the everyday environment. However, English is
used for learning media, including in the form of books, ebooks or international
journals that we often meet around us, for example in the campus (library) and the
internet. Mastery of English in principle is not only mastery of speaking skills, but
also reading, understanding and listening skills which are skills that should be
mastered by students in learn something. From these language skills, students are
directed to be able to improve the mastery of student English students to can
understand a learning material well. As one of the language skills, reading in terms of
listening or understanding is a skill that is quite difficult for students to master.
Reading in principle does not only recite symbols or letters that are in writing but also
reads the purpose of understanding the meaning contained in the reading or
understanding the intent that the author wrote in his writing. Or in other words, the
purpose of reading is to try to get the intent and purpose and the meaning contained in
the writing that can be in the form of facts, ideas, and feelings from books or writing.

In addition, the purpose of reading is trying to get the message to be conveyed

by the author. Therefore reading activities not only require concentration on what is
to be read but also requires an understanding of the meaning of words, sentences, and
discourse read. Concentration and understanding of reading will make students
effective in reading. In connection with that, so students are able to understand
reading required various methods or techniques effective that can attract students in
understanding. lecture or material learning or lectures such as Accounting courses.

Where we know, today around us there are textbooks, e-books and articles / journals
in English.

For example, instructors (lecturers) need various appropriate methods or

techniques in teaching reading so that students can understand the meaning contained
in books, ebooks or English-language articles / journals. During this time, lecturers
have not been able to use the right techniques in understanding English books, ebooks
or journals, so many students find it difficult to listen to / understand the contents of
the reading they have read. To overcome the difficulties faced by students in reading
comprehension (reading comprehension) in textbooks, ebooks and articles / journals
in accounting courses, instructors (lecturers) need media, techniques or ways that are
appropriate in teaching lecture material to students. In each step of the activity it is
expected to attract the interest of students because the steps implemented have been
carried out systematically making it easier for students to understand.
