Abstract

Reading plays an essential role in higher education, particularly in EFL contexts where students are required to comprehend complex academic texts. However, many students experience difficulties due to limited vocabulary, complex sentence structures, and insufficient background knowledge, which often hinder their reading comprehension. To address this issue, the Reading Matrix has been introduced to support students in organizing and processing information. Therefore, this study aims to explore students’ perceptions of using the Reading Matrix in supporting academic reading and to identify the challenges they encounter when completing it. This study employed a descriptive qualitative design, involving university students in an Extensive Reading class. Data were collected through close-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that the Reading Matrix helps students organize information, compare ideas, identify relationships, focus on key information, connect ideas, and support overall understanding. However, challenges related to vocabulary, sentence complexity, and background knowledge remain. These results suggest that the Reading Matrix is useful, but its effectiveness depends on additional instructional support.

Abstract

Reading academic journal articles often poses problems for EFL university students due to shopisticate language, unfamiliar vocabulary, and dense information. Therefore, the current study aims to explore the reading strategies utilized by English Education students when interacting with academic journal articles and to ascertain how these tactics help their comprehension. A total of 35 students from Universitas Negeri Semarang majoring in English Education Study Program participated in a descriptive qualitative study. The data was gathered by the SORS questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Mean scores were calculated from questionnaire data, followed by thematic analysis used on interview data to achieve a greater insight into students' strategy utilization. The data demonstrated that students employed three categories of reading strategies: global reading strategies, problem solving strategies, support reading strategies. Overall, students’ strategy use fell into the moderate to high categories, with no strategies categorized as low. Within the three types of strategies, PROB were used most often (M= 3,95), indicating that students tend to focus on dealing directly with difficulties encountered during reading. Overall, the results indicate that English Education students actively utilize diverse reading strategies to support students in comprehending academic journal articles.

Abstract

Many learners face difficulties in improving their listening comprehension due to various factors; unfamiliar pronunciation, fast speaking speed, such as when involving authentic materials like movies. One way to get better listening experience is to provide a written form of the spoken language (i.e., subtitles), which can aid comprehension and support vocabulary acquisition. This study aims to describes EFL learners’ experiences and perceptions regarding the influence of English subtitles in English movies on their listening skills. By focusing on learners' experiences and perceptions, this study attempts to provide insight into how movie-based learning can enhance the development of listening comprehension. This descriptive qualitative study involved 24 EFL learners, who are currently studying at undergraduate degree level. Data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire and analyzed thematically. The results showed that English captions had a positive impact on learners' listening comprehension, vocabulary acquisition and self-confidence. The study also found some challenges faced by EFL learners such as distraction, cognitive overload and over-reliance on subtitles. These results suggest that although subtitles are a useful tool to support listening development, their use needs to be aware of their use and gradually build independence in listening without textual assistance. Learners should be encouraged to gradually reduce reliance on subtitles in order to strengthen independent listening skills. This study furthers the making of effective language teaching methods, notably the listening comprehension area. Multimedia tools, for example, movies, may improve learning outcomes and can motivate students through much more interactive and entertaining learning experiences.

Abstract

The vocabulary self-collection strategy, considered effective in enriching students' vocabulary and motivating them to continue learning, is a topic worthy of research. Most previous research findings on the effectiveness of this strategy were obtained through pre-tests and post-tests administered by researchers to respondents. The primary focus of the current research was on the experiences of the teacher and students regarding the use of the Vocabulary Self-Collection Strategy, which is considered a practical approach for improving students' vocabulary and motivation. This also creates a research gap between this study and several other studies. Narrative inquiry is the approach used by the researchers in this study to obtain more in-depth information from respondents. Interviews conducted by the researchers with an English teacher and several fourth-grade students at an elementary school in Ungaran Timur, as well as narratives written by respondents, served as the two main instruments in this study. Both instruments presented experiences in the form of positive impacts and obstacles experienced by students in using this strategy. Thus, the implementation of this strategy not only has a positive effect but also gives rise to several obstacles encountered by teachers and students.
