Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the use of effective questioning types on students’ critical reading skills. Motivated by the lack of student engagement in reading tasks and the difficulty students face in higher-order comprehension, this study implemented a framework of structured questions—analytical, evaluative, interpretive, inferential, and synthetic—to enhance critical reading. A pre-experimental design was employed using a one-group pre-test and post-test format. Thirty-two tenth-grade students from SMK Negeri 10 Makassar participated in the study. The findings showed a statistically significant improvement in students’ performance following the treatment. The mean score increased from 57.06 in the pre-test to 64.22 in the post-test. Score distribution also shifted notably, with 41% of students reaching the “Very Good” category and only 9% remaining in the “Requiring Guidance” classification, compared to 66% before the treatment. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test yielded a Z-value of -4.795 and a significance level of p < .001, confirming that the improvement was not due to chance. These findings suggest that effective questioning types promoted students’ higher-order thinking and engagement with texts. This study contributes to the growing body of research on reading pedagogy by addressing the gap in literature concerning the use of targeted questioning types in critical reading instruction. Future research may explore the comparative effectiveness of each questioning type and incorporate qualitative data to gain deeper insights into student responses. The implications of this study suggest that structured questioning can be a powerful tool in helping students think more deeply and critically. It shows that when students are guided with the right types of questions, they are more likely to reflect, analyze, and make meaningful connections with the texts they read. This approach could help improve the way reading is taught, especially in EFL classrooms, by encouraging more active and thoughtful learning.Keywords: effective questioning types, critical reading, higher-order thinking, EFL, reading comprehension

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis proses pengembangan bisnis, bentuk inovasi layanan, serta strategi adaptasi yang diterapkan oleh EYSA Language Center dalam menghadapi disrupsi teknologi dan persaingan pasar pendidikan non-formal di Makassar. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan desain studi kasus, data dikumpulkan pada Agustus 2026 melalui observasi langsung, wawancara semi-terstruktur bersama pihak manajemen, serta analisis dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan verifikasi dengan triangulasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa EYSA bertransformasi dari komunitas belajar informal, Ezpz, menjadi entitas bisnis formal berbasis direct consumer-funded model. Konflik hak kekayaan intelektual atas nama merek memaksa dilakukannya rebranding total, yang oleh manajemen diubah menjadi peluang melalui pembentukan South Sulawesi English Community (SSEC) sebagai saluran pemasaran organik. Transformasi ini didorong oleh empat inovasi berpusat pada pelanggan, yaitu garansi gratis mengulang kelas selama dua bulan, portal siswa berbasis situs web untuk fleksibilitas jadwal mandiri, layanan konsultasi beasiswa gratis bersama alumni luar negeri, serta metode pembelajaran berbasis gamification. Selain itu, EYSA mengatasi ancaman disrupsi Artificial Intelligence (AI) dan kejenuhan pasar melalui pendekatan ikatan emosional (emotional bonding) dengan peserta didik serta fokus pada kualitas layanan, bukan persaingan harga. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa keunggulan bersaing lembaga kursus berbasis komunitas tidak hanya bergantung pada kurikulum, tetapi juga pada pengintegrasian inovasi nilai, fleksibilitas layanan digital, kesadaran terhadap perlindungan kekayaan intelektual, dan keterlibatan komunitas secara berkelanjutan. Temuan ini memberi panduan praktis bagi wirausahawan pemula di bidang jasa pendidikan non-formal.
