Abstract

This study aims to analyze and synthesize empirical research on students' reading comprehension challenges within English language teaching. A systematic review method selected 20 peer-reviewed articles published within the last five years. The selected studies were analyzed based on their research topics, designs, and theoretical frameworks. The findings reveal that most studies adopt a descriptive qualitative approach, with a strong focus on the Indonesian context. Four key challenges in reading comprehension were identified: (1) limitations of textbooks in supporting effective reading, (2) low student motivation and engagement, (3) inadequate vocabulary knowledge, and (4) slow reading pace. Based on these findings, it is recommended that future research explore the effectiveness of specific interventions and instructional strategies to address these challenges, ultimately improving students' reading comprehension skills. Such strategies could include the use of more engaging and relevant reading materials, vocabulary enhancement techniques, and methods to improve reading speed, with the goal of enhancing students' overall reading comprehension skills.
