Recently, access to information is easier than before, but most of them are written in English. It leads to another new problem for a non-English speaking country. This research proposes an approach to improve English reading comprehension with the help of Kit-build concept map (KB-map) with an additional function named source connection. A university teacher in Indonesia practically used this approach and the other two approaches in several English classes of the second year of undergraduate student to compare the effectiveness of those approaches. The result shows that KB-map with the source-connection function was more effective in English reading comprehension compare to the traditional summarization and the normal Kit-build method. © 2019 International Conference on Computers in Education, Proceedings.All right reserved.
