Abstract

Reading comprehension is an essesntial component of EFL learning; however, a lot of students in SMP still have difficulty in understanding English texts due to limited vocabulary, ineffective reading strategies, and dependence on word-by-word translation. The current study aimed to explore the implementation of the skimming technique in teaching reading comprehension among seventh-grade students at SMP Shirothol Mustaqim. The study investigated how the skimming technique was implemented, students’ responses toward skimming technique use, and the challenges encountered during its implementation. A qualitative case study design was used in the study. The study involved one English teacher and 20 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and supporting reading assessment results. The data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s (2021) reflexive thematic analysis. The findings revealed three major themes. First, the skimming technique was systematically integrated into pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading activities, enabling students to activate prior knowledge and identify the main ideas before engaging in detailed reading. Second, students responded positively to the strategy, demonstrating increased engagement, confidence, participation, and improved reading performance, as reflected in the increase of the mean assessment score from 75 to 100. Third, the implementation faced several challenges, including limited vocabulary knowledge, differences in reading proficiency, and time constraints during classroom instruction. The study concludes that the skimming technique can facilitate more strategic and interactive reading instruction when supported by explicit teacher guidance and appropriate scaffolding.

Abstract

This qualitative study applies a pragmatic approach that investigates the complaining speech act (CSA) used by male and female music teachers based on the substansion of the Solo Song Competition in WhatsApp Group. Data were collected from the utterances of 13 participants using note-taking. The results indicated several findings. First, male music teachers have the highest preference for using the expression of disapproval with annoyance in the substance of after TM. In contrast, female music teachers have the highest preference for using the hint and the blame with explicit blame for person in the substance of before TM. The reason is not only about a high pressure from the school, parents, and students regarding the competitions, but also about dissatisfaction, dislike, and worry with a situation that is perceived as unfair, unprofessional, or harmful. Third, based on the comparison of the result of this study and previous researches reveals that gender influenced the choice of CSA usage. The results revealed that most of the complaints were related to issues regarding the competition regulations after TM. The competition regulations that were highly complained by both male and female music teachers were the inappropriate music instruments for men and women. The results also indicated that most of the complaints were addressed to the coordinator of the competition committee. The complaints submitted were a result of the untrustworthiness of male and female music teachers to the competition committee
