ABSTRACT This research deals with the using pre-questioning on reading comprehension achievement of the second grade students at MAN 1 Peureulak. The purpose this research is to know the way to teach reading by using pre-questioning and to know whether by using pre-questioning is significant on the studentsAo reading comprehension achievement. The population of this research is students of MAN 1 Peureulak. It is consists of 5 classes and 140 students. The sample for this research is the students at the eleventh grade. It is XI IPA 1 and XI IPA 2 class, which consists of 60 students. In order to get the answer for this problem of the research, the researchers used some ways and steps in collecting the data . ield research and the library research methodolog. In addition, for the field research, the researchers conducted the test. The result of the research showed that the means of studentsAo score of experimental group was . and control group was . It can be concluded that pre-questioning significantly given effect on the studentsAo reading comprehension achievement. Keywords: Pre-questioning. Reading Comprehension. MAN 1 Peureulak INTRODUCTION Reading is also something crucial and indispensable for the students because the success of their study depends on the greater part of their ability to read. If their reading skill is poor, they are very likely to fail in their study or at least they will have difficulty in making On the other hand, if they have a good ability in reading, they will have a better chance to succeed in their study. In facts the researcher find the students at MAN 1 Peureulak in Academic year 2017/2018 faced serious problem in comprehend reading text and make their interesting and motivation down. Stated comprehension is a process in which the reader may construct meaning by interacting with the text. In reading comprehension, a reader should have knowledge about understanding the reading passage. The common questions on the passages are primarily about the main ideas, details, and an inference that can be drawn from the passages. Explains that reading comprehension has been defined as an interpretation of written symbols, the apprehending of meaning, the assimilation of ideas presented by the written, and the process of thinking while deciphering symbols. Further, reading comprehension is closely related to the cognitive competence of the readers, because this will produce comprehension. The most important key to create an interactive learning is the initiation of interaction from the teacher by using question. In order to build the studentsAo interest and motivation, also their cognitive factors and pre-questioning is very useful to activate the schemata, thus the students can predict what will be faced by them in the reading text. There are some kinds of prequestioning namely Pre-questioning before reading to confirm expectations, pre-questioning before reading to extract specific information, pre-questioning before reading for general comprehension, and pre-questioning before reading for detail comprehensionAy. Theoretically, pre-questioning itself can build the studentsAo interest and motivation before students read the whole text. Moreover, the students can predict what will be discussed on the text. In line with this study, students may improve their reading comprehension if they know about prequestioning and it is very important to understand about pre-questioning in order to get good comprehension in reading. In comprehending a topic, the readers interacts with the text relates to the pre-questioning of the text to prior experiences of construct meaning which can be Lentera ISSN: 2548-835X, e ISSN: 2548-7663 Jurnal Ilmiah Sains.

Skimming and scanning are two very useful techniques that will help the reader become a better reader. The reason why the researchers chose pre-questioning was a method in my research title that this method was something for the advanced learner of English. The researchers applied prequestioning, to improve studentsAo achievement in learning reading. The most important key to create an interactive learning is the initiation of interaction from the teacher by using question. So, pre-questioning was a suitable technique that can be used to overcome the existing By considering the explanation above, this study described the effect of prequestioning method on students. achievement in learning reading. So, this research entitled Aythe effect of using pre-questioning on reading comprehension achievement to class XI at MAN 1 Peureulak academic years 2017/2018Ay. RESEARCH METHODS In order to know the effect of using pre-questioning for the students, the researcher deciced to use the sample divided into two groups: experimental group and control group. The experimental group is the group that receives treatment by applying Interactive Approach, while the control group is the group that receives a different treatment or is treated as usual. The design can be figured out as follows: Group Pre-test Experimental Control Treatment Post-test Pre-questioning on reading Conventional approach The experimental group and control group are taught by using the same materials but different In the experimental group, students is taught by using pre-questioning and in control group, the students is taught by not using pre-questioning . re-tes. Both groups are given post-test after the treatment has been completed. RESULT AND DISCUSSION The researcher had conducted a research in order to get the data needed in reading In collecting the data, the researcher gave some test such as objective test which consist of 20 items, and it was essay test which consist of 10 items. The essay test presented at the pre-test and in the experimental group. The result score of test acquired by students individually, it can be known that the lowest score in the post-test 55 and the highest score is 85. In this case, the students' means score in the test is 73. The studentsAo score in the post-test in the control group, it can be known that the lowest score in the post-test 40 and the highest score is 75. In this case, the students' means score in the test Discussion Based on the computation of the t-test, the result of analysis was 13. It meant that tcalculation was higher than t- table at the level of significant of 0. or it can be said 08 > 2. Based on the data, the result of the data analysis, it was found out that there was a significant effect of the students' reading comprehension achievement taught by using pre-questioning is higher than taught without opening using pre-questioning on reading Based on the data of reliability of analysis of instrumentation is considered Based on the computation of the t- test, it was found that t- observed was higher than t- table at the level of significant of 0. at df = 58 for two tailed test. Therefore. Lentera ISSN: 2548-835X, e ISSN: 2548-7663 Jurnal Ilmiah Sains. Teknologi. Ekonomi.

CLOSING Conclusion The use of pre-questioning as a tool for placing great emphasis on the lead-in stage . here students are encouraged to become interested in the subject matter of the tex. , encourages students to predict the content of the text, and gives them an interesting and motivating purpose for reading.

They are as follows: It is important for the teacher to improve the studentsAo comprehension in reading text by giving any assignment, especially the question in form of main idea and supporting detail, which is regarded more difficult for the students. It hoped that the teacher teach the reading comprehension from the easiest to the most difficult one. The teacher should build a favorable atmosphere at times of teaching-learning process conducted, because a conductive condition in teaching would become one access to carry the success of material to be taught. It is necessary to another researcher conduct a further research, in order to validate the result of this study. REFERENCE
