Review of related literature
1. Theory of Think aloud
In this research, it was decided to implement the think-aloud strategy
because it was used as an instructional approach, and also because this
strategy helped readers to comprehend more easily what was being read by
them. Afflerbach and Johnston cited by McKeown and Gentilucci (2007),
claim that think-aloud serves firstly as a method of measuring the cognitive
reading process, then as metacognitive tool to monitor comprehension. In
that sense, the think aloud is appropriate for this study because through
this strategy the students can monitor their comprehension process.
2. The Related of Study
As the comparison of this research, here are some researches of The Effect Think
Aloud Strategy Toward Students Reading Skill. The first researcher is Alexander
Moreno cardenas ( 2009 ) with title “The Impact Of The Think-Aloud Strategy In The
English Reading Comprehension Of Efl 10th Graders, he found that the students
increased their engagement in the activities because of the think-aloud strategy.
Through the use this strategy they could interact and construct meaning from the texts
at once when they developed the reading tasks. Second, it is important to highlight that
the role of the teacher as a guide was crucial in think-alouds because he could assist
and foster students to use reading strategies such as predicting, visualizing, and prior
knowledge in order to comprehend the reading texts. Third, another positive impact of
the think-aloud strategy, is that students constantly mentioned that they had an
enhancement in some specific aspects of English language such as: pronunciation,
vocabulary, and listening skill.
Based n the theoretical description and result of the relevant studies,
the writer arrives at theoretical framework of this study. In teaching and
learning process, especially in English, many problems and activities
face by the students and also the teachers. But, mostly the success of
the students in learning the English should be determined by
themselves. In English language teaching in Indonesian, reading is
placed in high priority, we can see it from the curriculums. Senior high
school curriculums, junior high school curriculum, even at elementary
school emphasize the English language teaching on the reading
comprehension ability. Therefore, reading is the most important
language skills for students t study hard, by reading the knowledge of
the pupils will gradually increase, beside developing their ability in
other language skills.
