Abstract

The selection of reading texts used in critical reading learning is one of the important factors in achieving learning to read critically. This is one of the guidelines carried out by researchers in identifying the right text to be used as a support for the learning process. By using a qualitative approach and in-depth interview techniques and documentation, the data are obtained. There are two main findings in this study, namely the dominant type of text used in teaching critical reading and the dominant text theme used in critical reading text. Based on the results of the analysis, the examples of selected texts that can be presented as part of strengthening critical reading are (1) news text, (2) editorial text, (3) advertorial text, (4) opinion text, and (5) hoax text. The second finding of the results of the analysis is the selected themes as part of strengthening critical reading, namely (1) technology, (2) environment, (3) education, (3) social, and (5) health. Based on these findings it is showed that students have a tendency to like or be interested in things that are being updated on social media.
