This article is an abstract of research conducted at French Language Department of Semarang State University. This research itself was intended to discover how far schemata (oneââ¬â¢s prior knowledge) influence ability in understanding a passage. Reading comprehension requires not only linguistic competence but also non-linguistic competence. It happens that one does not understand a passage notwithstanding his grammatical mastery. In this research, two groups of students were used as control and experiment classes respectively. With the help of t-test, pre-test score average and post-test average were compared and analyzed to find out whether or not schematic-based model gives rise to studentsââ¬â¢ reading performance.
