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.
