Abstract

This study aims to analyse the relationship between reading self-concept and reading comprehension, the relationship between reading motivation and reading comprehension, and the contribution of reading self-concept and reading motivation to students’ reading comprehension. This study employs a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research subjects consisted of 264 students from MTs Negeri Palembang who were selected as the research sample. Data were collected through a reading self-concept questionnaire, a reading motivation questionnaire, and a reading comprehension test. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson’s Product Moment correlation and regression analysis. The results of the study indicate that reading self-concept has a positive and significant correlation of moderate strength with students’ reading comprehension. Reading motivation also shows a positive and significant correlation of moderate strength with reading comprehension. Furthermore, the results of the regression analysis indicate that reading self-concept and reading motivation together account for 7.9% of the variance in students’ reading comprehension. These findings suggest that although the direction of the relationship between the two independent variables is positive, the strength of the correlation is relatively low, meaning their influence on reading comprehension remains limited. Therefore, other, more dominant factors influencing students’ reading comprehension should be considered.

Abstract

This study critically examines how overtourism is discursively constructed in English-language travel journalism. Grounded in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the research investigates the linguistic and rhetorical strategies used to represent overtourism, tourism actors, and affected communities. Specifically, it analyzes discursive features such as lexical choices, representations of agency, evaluative language, modality, and ideological positioning that shape readers’ perceptions of overtourism. Employing a qualitative descriptive methodology, the study draws on a corpus of travel journalism articles addressing overtourism published in international media outlets. The findings reveal that overtourism is predominantly framed as a global and systemic phenomenon through neutralized agency, passive constructions, and expert-oriented voices. Tourists are discursively positioned in ambiguous roles, portrayed simultaneously as contributors to and victims of overtourism. These strategies produce a balanced yet depersonalized narrative that foregrounds sustainability, responsibility, and policy-oriented solutions. The study contributes theoretically to discourse studies and offers practical implications for tourism communication and English language pedagogy, particularly in the areas of critical reading and media literacy.
