  • In foreign language teaching, reading comprehension is very important skill to be taught because it can be used to improve reading ability not only text book but also other reading materials. So, as a teacher, he should apply his teaching techniques well, in order that the students were attracted to his teaching and arouse positive attitude toward his teaching reading techniques. Based on Susianti (2002:23), whether children read or not is determined by their attitude toward reading. Based on this fact, the present study tried to investigate the attitude of the students toward teaching techniques used in reading class at SLTP Muhammadiyah 6 Dau Malang, whether the teachers’ techniques can improve the students positive attitude or not.
