obtain knowledge from text. In reading class, the students do not only read all 
passages of the text with good pronounce, understand the meaning, but also answer 
the question based on the text. Those cannot improve students?critical thinking 
without determining the main idea and supporting idea, message, or structure of the 
text, the writer?s expression about the text, even predict what will happen next in a 
story of the text. For that reason, the teacher needs an appropriate materials that can 
attract the students?interest in reading. One of teaching reading materials is 
authentic materials. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of authentic 
materials on students?critical thinking in the teaching reading. The population of 
this research is the first grade of SMAN 1 Cibinong. The total number of samples is 
10 students of class MIPA 4. The sample is chosen by a simple random sampling 
technique. In conducting the research, the writer applies the pre-experimental 
method and uses one-group pretest-posttest design. The data is analyzed by using 
the t-test formula. Based on the calculation of the data, the mean of the difference 
is 27. Then, the t-test value is 6.54. The t-table value at a significant level of 0.05 is
2.26. Thus, the t-test value is higher than the t-table value (2.26 < 6.54). It means 
that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) is 
rejected. In conclusion, the final result shows that authentic materials have an effect
