A true experimental design and random sampling technique were used. As the result, Class X D and X E were selected as the sample of this study. Class X D of 32 students was chosen as the control group while the experimental group was class X E of 36 students. The data were collected through observation and tests; pre and post test. Observation was conducted to get information about the teaching-learning process. When doing the observation, the researcher found that the English teacher did not use Schema Activation Strategy in teaching reading skill.
