respondents of this research were one English teacher and nineteen students of XI IPS 2 class in

questionnaire dissemination. The teacher was observed and recorded when applied teaching
strategies in reading comprehension of analytical exposition text. Meanwhile, the students had to
fill the questionnaire to state their problems towards the teacher™s strategies in teaching reading
comprehension of analytical exposition text. The result indicated that the teacher implied general
methods such as introducing text, setting the reading purpose, skimming the text, translating the
text, answering question and identifying answer. Meanwhile, the most difficult strategy
according to the students was skimming text. There were 11 of 19 students who stated that
skimming text was difficult since they did not possess good vocabulary mastery. The least
