Abstract
influenced by several factors such as the state of reading, level of reading interest, intelligence or intellectual ability, social background, economic and reader culture, reading abilities and habits and ability to absorb new reading. These factors creates continuity in the important role of building electability literacy, namely to create an objective culture, critical and open mind comprehensively in its application in various realms of activity. Knowing that anything which affects literacy skills also needs to be considered that impedes literacy skills such as no language and code similarity between the writer and reader, communication failure, disruption to speech tools, the system of educational institutions that lack sufficient opportunities for reading traditions and socio-economic factors. And nowadays when the 'borderless world' paradigm globalizes society, there must be language alignment tools in literacy, namely English, so that
the ability of English language literacy should be obeyed, especially students to understand the importance of English electability in positioning Indonesian students to compete with other countries in literacy skills.
