Abstract

This quantitative pre-experimental research was undertaken to investigate the pedagogical efficacy of the CEFR-aligned Inquiry Complexity Reading Strategy (ICRS) model in enhancing the reading proficiency of second-year students (N=26) at SMP Budi Dharma Dumai. Rooted in the principles of Inquiry-Based Learning and Connectivism, the ICRS model was implemented to actively foster critical and creative reading ability through collaboration. Data collected via a One Group Pretest-Posttest design were analyzed using a paired-samples t-test. The empirical results demonstrated a statistically significant enhancement in reading ability, evidenced by the substantial increase in the mean score from 58.85 (Fair) to 82.88 (Excellent). The t-test confirmed this significant difference (p < 0.05), further supported by a very large effect magnitude (Cohen’s d = -2.061). These findings lead to the conclusion that the CEFR-based ICRS model is highly effective in improving overall reading proficiency, successfully reducing the achievement gap, and supporting the differentiated learning goals of the Merdeka Curriculum in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between students’ reading motivation and their reading ability at SMK IT Al-Izhar Pekanbaru. A quantitative correlational research design was employed. The study involved a population of 41 first-year vocational high schools students, selected through a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a validate 30-item motivation questionnaire (α = .894) and a 20-item reading test on narrative and descriptive texts (KR-20 = .860). The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis in IBM SPSS Statistics 26. The results revealed a moderate, positive, and statistically significant relationship between the two variables (r = 0.363, p < 0.05), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. Moreover, motivation accounted for 40.45% of the variance in reading scores. The study provides empirical evidence for a substantive link between motivational factors and reading ability, supporting the principles of Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and highlighting the importance of fostering motivational strategies in English language teaching at vocational high schools.
