B.     INTRODUCTION

English is very important to be learnt because for getting science, technology and information we should master English first. Then to get a good job and position in company the people have to master English. It can happen because good companies usually take the people who have good skills in English both written and orally.

There are four skills in English. These skills must be included: listening, speaking, reading, and writing skill. These skills can not be separated and always related each other. Then, in learning English the students should master English components such as tenses. Nowadays, the students feel difficultly in master tenses. It is because they should learn all about the rules of tenses and   they will forget it. The students think that learning tenses is a boring subject and they cannot remember one by one on the structure of tense. So, in learning tenses the student need to have an enjoyable situation for making them interest with the subject.

Based  on the identification of problem above, the writer focused on applying reading the text towards students’ tenses mastery of the tenth class at SMK PERSADA Bandar Lampung 2015/2016.

 Based  on the identification and limitation of problem above the writer formulated the problem as follow:

1.      is there any significant influence of using reading text towards students’ tenses mastery?

2.      Is the average score of students tenses mastery which is taught using reading text higher than which is taught through conventional technique?

The writer proposed the use of this research as follow:

1.      To motivate the student in learning English especially in learning tenses.

2.      To give information to the English teacher about the influence of using reading text towards students tenses mastery.

C.    LITERATURE REVIEWS

Language is a tool for communication that used by human being in whole world. Language is used for giving information, feelings, ideas opinions and soon. In interaction role, we need a language to interact each other. So language is the important thing to be learnt.

It is support by burner in Cameroon (2001:8) state that language is the most important tool for cognitive growth and he has investigated how adults use language to medicate the world from children and help them to solve the problems. According to brown (2007:6) state that the language into some number:

1.      Language is systematic

2.      Language is a set of arbitrary symbols.

3.      Those symbols are primarily vocal, but may also be visual.

4.      The symbol have conventionalized meaning to which they refer.

5.      Language is used for communication.

6.      Language operates in a speech community or culture.

7.      Language is essentially human, although possibly not limited to humans.

8.      Language is achquired by ali people in much to same way; language and language learning both have universal characteristic.

According to setiyadi (2006:10) state to common assumptions about the nature of language;

1.      Language is group of sounds with specific meanings and organized by grammatical rules.

2.      Language is everyday spoken utterance of the everage person at normal speed.

3.      Language is system for the expression meaning.

4.      Language is a set of grammatical rules and language consist of language chunks.

From the statement above, it can be assumed that language is very complex and systematic. Language can be visual and group of sounds, it can be speech and symbols too. Language also has grammatical rules and meaning.

According to William in freeman (2003:5) states that  “a definition of language is always, implicitly of expictly a definition of human beings in the world”. It means that language is always used by human beings implicitly or explicitly. Because of hat language is so important for our life.

All people using language for their daily communication and as heir identity and power, because without language thay have not a power to interact each other. It is appropriated with harmer’s statement (2001:4) language is an intensely political issued since it is bound up with identity and power. It is supported by mark and Kathy state that language , therefore, therefore, is a system of sounds (for speaking) and symbols (for writing) which can arranged in patterns to communicate meaning between those who know the system (mark and Kathy, 1998;1)

Regarding on the statement above, we know that language is very important think to be learn. Language is not a small problem but it is very widely influense for human being life. Becase of that, in whole countries language is learnt since early stge.

Teaching English is a Foreign Language

English become one thing that has big influence for human life. All people use English when they communicate to other, but not all countries using English as a native language. It can be as second of foreign language.

We know that, English in Indonesia is a foreign language. It means that Indonesian people do not use English in daily communication.

According to brown (2007:205) states that learning EFL, that is English in one’s native culture with few immediate opportunities to use the language within the environment of that culture, may at first also appear to be easy to define. Meanwhile that Cameroon state that  English is a complicated alphabetic written language to develop new skill and knowledge, in addition to what can be transferred. (Cameron, 2001:136). It seems like English should be learnt with is culture. So that we learnt with is culture method

The Concept Of Grammar

Grammar has many definitions, in its role, grammar is the most important role in English. Every skill is always using grammar because without grammar we can not make a correct sentence in language. So, grammar is the rules of language where the languages sentences are formed.

The Concept Of Tenses

tenses is the most important in grammar. Tenses is the one of the important rules in grammar. It is always related by the time. According to Bhatia (1995:95) states that the world TENSE is derived from the latin world tempus which means time (also continuance or completeness) of the action etc. as the statement above, the meaning of tenses in latin world is time because of that tenses is related with the time.

D.    RESEARCH METHOD

The research the writer used experimental method. It means that the research use two classes for the investigation. The first class was experimental class was control classes which is taught by using reading text and the second class was control classes which is taught by conventional technique. In this research, the writer focused on students tenses mastery. The result of the test from both of these classes.

In this research there are two variables of the research as follow:

1.      The independent variable of this research is reading text (X)

2.      The dependent variable is students’ tenses mastery (Y)

No	semester	GENDER		TOTAL
		MALE	FEMALE
1	X AK	13	15	28
2	X TKJ	24	-	24

2.      Enlisting the data of odd items and iven items into the table.

3.      Analyzing the test result by using Product Moment Formula.

4.       Using spearman-Brown formula, as follows:

(Arikunto, 2010: 226)

5.      Consult of the result with the criterials of reliability as follow:

1)      Reliability coefficient 0.800-1.00 is very high

2)      Reliability coefficient 0.600-0.800 is high

3)      Reliability coefficient 0.400-0.600 is fair

4)      Reliability coefficient 0.200-0.400 is how

5)      Reliability coefficient 0.00-0.200 is very low

E.     DISCUSSION

After doing the research, the writer found some problems such as the students tenses mastery need to be improve, the student found diffcultes in learning and mastering tenses, they got difficulties in making sentence by using correct tenses and the writer also found that the teacher had never using correct tenses and the writer also found that the teacher had never used reading text in teaching tenses. Meanwhile tenses is the important part in English for communication both written and spoken. It is supported by tony peston (2005:17) state that by use of a tenses we mean that it is use for communication. the use in our general tables are restricted for simplicity more use are shown later. It means that written and spoken English  used the pattern of tenses to make English sentence.

So, for increasing the students’ tenses mastery, the writer interested in using reading text as the teaching material in learning tenses. Reading text is any texts that can be used as teaching material for teaching material for teaching and learning process. The writer used reading text in teaching tenses because reading text are formed by sentence that arranged with systematic tenses. It is supported by brown (2001:373) says that at the very simple, mechanical level, a text might be used to get a certain verb tenses. In applying  reading text in teaching tenses, the writer found that reading text as a teaching materials can increase students’ motivation in learning tenses. It can be seen by the students who felt enjoy and understand in teaching learning process.

The writer also found that by using reading text as teaching material in teaching and learning process especially in tenses the everage score of students was higher than that of those who learn tenses through conventional technique. It was found that the average score of experimental class was 72.25 and control class was 63.25

In this research the writer found that there is significant influence of using reading text towards students’ tenses mastery of the tenth class at SMK PERSADA Bandar Lampung 2015/2016

The explanation is supported by the calculation of hypothesis test by using t test formula. The result of t test was 3.21 which were showed that there is an influence of using reading text towards students’ tenses mastery. The result above then consulted by t table with significant level 5% and 1% showed 2.02 and 2.07. because the t test was higher than t table it means that there is a significant influence of using reading text towards students’ tenses mastery of the tenth class at SMK PERSADA Bandar Lampung in 2015/2016
