Abstract

The quality of education is not solely determined by academic aspects, but is also influenced by the social and cultural environment of students' literacy. Low interest in reading and suboptimal positive social interactions among adolescents pose challenges that can hinder the development of critical thinking skills, character, and academic achievement. This community service activity aims to increase students' understanding of the importance of healthy social interactions and literacy as supporting factors for quality education. The activity was carried out at SMP Negeri 31 Medan through socialization, interactive discussions, educational games, and group mentoring for eighth-grade students. A qualitative approach was used, using simple observation and interview techniques to identify students literacy levels prior to the activity. The results showed that students reading interest was still relatively low, especially in grades VIII-2 and VIII-3. Most students also found reading activities uninteresting and did not yet understand literacy concepts comprehensively. After the outreach activities, students demonstrated an increased understanding of the importance of literacy and positive social interactions in supporting academic success. This activity proves that the integration of literacy education and the creation of a healthy social environment can be an effective strategy in supporting the improvement of the quality of education at the secondary school level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) technique in teaching English reading to junior high school students. The research was motivated by students’ low reading comprehension skills, which are influenced by limited vocabulary, low reading interest, and the use of less varied instructional strategies. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving eighth-grade students and an English teacher as research participants. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and documentation and were analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the SQ3R technique can be implemented systematically through its five stages: survey, question, read, recite, and review. The implementation of this technique enhances students’ participation in the learning process, improves their reading comprehension, and encourages more critical and structured thinking. However, several challenges were identified, including limited vocabulary, difficulties in formulating questions in English, and students’ lack of confidence in retelling the content of the text. Overall, the SQ3R technique can serve as an effective instructional strategy to improve English reading comprehension among junior high school students.
