CONCLUSION As I mentioned above, the purpose of this study is to find a way to teach grammar more communicatively. Besides, language skill must be improved among students so as to meet the increasingly high demand of studying duty. “Promoting grade 10 students’ reading comprehension competence through guided-cloze theme based reading texts” basically gained significant results shown in the attitude towards learning English lessons. Students are clearly motivated because they are not under pressure of sitting and reading the whole text with so many confusing options, but they really participating in online games, competitions . Apparently, students forget the strain on them when English lessons come. In order to make this application better, greater effort must be made in both sides teacher and students. Experimental teaching periods have been conducted in a number of grade 10 students at Upper Secondary School then the figures have been collected to analyze. The figures reveal that the using digital platform in teaching reading brings about new atmosphere in language classroom. Also, I see that my colleagues approve this application. Once the learners have identified different contexts they will understand the importance of sentence patterns which convey meaning of the speech. However, due to the lack of technical tools and mixed levels of students, the success in applying techniques has been limited. It should be admitted the fact that teaching and learning Reading skill effectively is still a hard work especially for those who are in rural area without Internet access or unstable connection, but I think that If we try to renovate, teaching and learning language will be improved. For a long term plan I hope to make every lesson become active, interactive and co- operative. So I will continue to apply in the following school years. IV.

As the increasing demand of society on the young work force, the need to improve vital competence at work is needed than ever, thus, educators must equip students with cooperate skill, adaptable ability, and the ability to estimate. Teaching and learning English on digital platform require necessary facilities such as The Internet, Television, Mobile phone, Laptop. Therefore, Board of executive should create good conditions for each class to have one TV screen, and also allow students to use cell phones at the time. Besides, the size of each class is a problem that needs to be considered at an English lesson. Normally, the oversized class causes certain difficulties and consequently affects the quality. V.
