This study was designed to improve the students’ reading comprehension by using “Questioning Strategy”. It was conducted in order to find a model of teaching and learning English, especially in reading class.

The problem in teaching and learning process is that the students feel that English as one difficult subject. The majority of the students had low motivation and interest. When the students were asked by the teacher to answer questions from the text, many students in a class found difficulties to answer the questions. Consequently, the students did not understand the message of the text and they became bored. The researcher gave questioning to make up their mind to understand in their reading material. Thus, this study was directed to solve practical problem in the process of teaching and learning. The research problem was formulated as: “How can the students’ reading ability of X (tenth) grade at SMA Terpadu Abul Faidl in academic year 2010/2011 be improved by using the developed of questioning strategy?

The researcher found that the students’ mean score was 65.23. By the fact the researcher arranged the research to improve the students’ reading comprehension through giving questioning. In cycle 1 the researcher found that the mean score of the students who passed in the test was increasing. The mean score of the students was 73.17. However, it is not achieving the criteria of success. So, the researcher did the second cycle. In cycle 2 the researcher found that the mean score of the students was 80.82. From this data the minimum target of the students’ success was achieved and with the result the researcher could stop the research.
Finally some suggestions that can be given to improve the quality of teaching and learning process related to the students’ reading ability are avoiding the students’ boredom by giving some leading questions activities. Teacher must be creative in teaching and learning process by giving various methods. Teacher must always support the students and motivate them.
