The State of the Art of Teaching Reading of the Pre-Service Teachers’ Education

Siti Kholija Sitompul, Amira Wahyu Anditasari

Abstract


Along with pre-service education, which always intends to develop student-teacher skills, language teaching has grown into a concern of development among practitioners. Pertinent to its development, a number of research studies in the context of English Foreign Language (EFL) were conducted to determine reading pedagogy and reading ability, as reading has been a component of learners' proficiency, which is associated with other language skills. However, the actual practice of teaching reading narrowed its activity to reading aloud and vocabulary as the linguistics aspect, which questionably contributes to students’ reading comprehension development. Given that linguistics is influential in fully comprehending a text's context, the focus on linguistic aspects of reading should be regarded in more than one component. Bearing this condition, the teaching reading urges to include learners' mastery in various linguistics aspects and meaning-making to flourish their reading comprehension. This study, therefore, presents the state of teaching reading in Indonesian pre-service education, referring to teaching approaches and the development of learners' reading ability.
