N2  - The problems of this research are: whether there is any interaction
(shared effect) of students? learning styles and reading tasks with
students? reading ability; whether there is any effect of students? learning
styles on their reading ability; and finally whether there is any effect of
reading tasks on students? reading ability.

The design of this research is ex post facto design. The population
consists of 240 Social Science students at SMAN 7 Bandar Lampung,
whereas the sample was selected randomly by means of toast coin
comprising of 38 students. There are two data collecting techniquesquestionnaire

and reading test- to gather the data, where the research
instruments were tried out before being used. The data were analyzed
using one way ANOVA for pre-test and two-ways ANOVA for post test.
The research has found that the students are classified into three learning
styles based on the questionnaire (authority oriented, communicative and
concrete). This findings was similar to but not the same as the findings of
Willing?s (1998) and Skehan?s (1998) as Yufrizal (2007) quoted, where
based on their findings, there are four classification of learning styles
(authority oriented, communicative, concrete, and analytic). Besides, it
was also found that the data gathered from three groups of learning styles
classification are normally distributed and homogeneous. Based on the
data analysis conclusions are drawn: there is a positive interaction of
students? learning styles and reading tasks with students? reading ability;
there is no effect of students learning styles on their reading ability; and
finally there is no effect of reading tasks on students? reading ability. 

Several suggestions are put forward: teachers of English should be
concerned with differences of students? learning styles and should use
different types of text. Secondly students should learn various types of
reading text based tasks, so that they have real experience on solving 
problems; furthermore future researchers should carried out similar
research using other language skills (listening, speaking and writing) and
should involved more samples. Finally curriculum designers should
prepare various types of text genres accompanied with various tasks.  

Key words: students? learning tasks, reading tasks, reading ability
