Abstract

This paper attempts to find out whether or not Reading Guide designed by the writers can enhance the reading ability of non-English lecturers at Higher Education in Central Java, Indonesia. Besides, it also tries to reveal the extent to which the lecturers could understand the language components found in the text. The method used in this research was experimental research with the population of non-English lecturers at Kopertis Wilayah VI, Central Java. Sixty three (63) lecturers from several universities were taken randomly as the sample. Two kinds of instrument for collecting the data, namely reading test and interview were used. It was found out that the mean score of the pre-test was 55,61 which is considered to be poor; meanwhile the mean score of the post-test was 75,68 and considered to be fair. When these two means were compared using t-test, it was gained the t-value of 9,119. Since the t-value is higher than the t-table 2.00 (9.119>2.00), it can be concluded that there is significant difference of the lecturers’ reading competence before and after using Reading Guide. It implies the meaning that Reading Guide is quite effective for enhancing the reading ability of non-English lecturers. Besides, it was also revealed that most of the lecturers had low motivation and negative attitudes towards reading activity, particularly reading English text. It could be possible to be a part of the reasons why their reading ability so far is poor
