The samples were taught by using skimming in reading Republika articles in the learning process. Pretest and posttest were conducted to collect the data. It was aimed at finding the significant improvement of learners’ ability in reading Republika articles before and after using skimming technique. The result of data analysis for students’ vocabulary improvement could be seen from average score. The mean score of posttest 81, 60 is higher than the pretest 56, 07.
