Abstract

This study explores the driving factors behind EFL students' reading difficulties and the coping strategies employed by teachers. Previous studies about similar research mostly conducted overseas. This indicated a lack of attention to students’ English reading skills in Indonesia. Several consequences can occur if English teachers in Indonesia are unaware of the importance of students English reading skills learning. These include inadequate preparation, limited vocabulary growth, poor comprehension skills, reduced motivation, and missed opportunities (Nanda, 2020). This research conducted at an Islamic senior high school in Jember, East Java, Indonesia, the research utilizes a qualitative case study design to delve into teachers' perceptions. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with a female EFL teacher. The findings identify key obstacles, including limited vocabulary, restricted exposure to the target language, and insufficient practice opportunities. To address these issues, teachers use strategies such as teaching the alphabetic principle, phonemic awareness exercises, vocabulary-building activities, and providing additional reading materials. The study highlights the importance of targeted interventions focusing on vocabulary and practice to enhance reading proficiency. However, limitations include the small sample size and reliance on self-reported data. Future research should involve larger, more diverse samples to validate these findings. This research offers valuable insights into EFL challenges and suggests practical solutions for improving reading instruction, thereby supporting students' academic and personal success.

Abstract

Research has presented different results on students’ reading habits concerning their socioeconomic status. The present study focuses on reading habits regarding the socioeconomic status of Indonesian EFL students to examine whether socioeconomic status represents students’ reading habits. An online survey was conducted to observe the EFL students, followed by descriptive analysis to examine the data. This study categorizes students’ socioeconomic status and reading habits level into three categories, namely high, middle, and low, to enable the researcher to determine whether there is a correlation between the two aspects. Based on the data gathered from the survey, it is found that students’ reading habits are not always inferred by their socioeconomic status. Among 230 participants, 27% were from high socioeconomic status families, 59% of the students were from middle socioeconomic status, and the remaining 14% were from low socioeconomic status. Besides categorizing students’ socioeconomic status, this research found that even students with the same socioeconomic status have various reading habits. Further research on reading habits among siblings is suggested to gain more detailed information on whether socioeconomic status represents students’ reading habits.

Abstract

The study was conducted to elaborate the gender stereotypes in a national senior high school English textbook in Indonesia. The qualitative study is applied and Critical Discourse Analysis is used as the preferable approach. This research provides the development of Mullet’s (2018) CDA generic framework analysis which based on Fairclough’s (2001) model. The result of the study divulged various gender stereotypes portrayed such as gender firstness, equality, dominance and bias. Many biased stereotypes are found on how the female character being portrayed in leadership matter, social relation, and family. In contrast, in the matter of physical traits, male characters are portrayed to have more and various interests in sports. The gender stereotypes portrayed in both textual and visual contents within the textbook. Many illustrations portrayed women stereotypically biased so do the textual materials such as narrative text, recount text/biography, transactional text, and descriptive text. Somehow, it is suggested that the authors should consider the position and the portrayal of gender stereotypes as problematic as proven by many previous studies.
