The English language encompasses four essential skills that learners need to master. Among these, reading is crucial, as it involves the ability to comprehend printed words and symbols. Students with strong reading skills are more likely to succeed academically. This study adopted a quantitative approach, emphasizing the outcomes (test results) over the instructional process. The aim was to explore the relationship between students' critical thinking abilities and their reading comprehension. The analysis employs Pearson Correlation because the data types are ordinal and interval. The study sample consisted of 58 students, with a significance level of 5% (0.05). The r-table value for this sample size is 0.4, which is higher than the r-table. This comparison shows that rxy is higher than the r-table, 0.5 > 0.258. Consequently, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, indicating a positive correlation. From these results, it shows that there is a significant correlation between critical thinking skills and reading comprehension among the students of MAN 2 Gresik. Thus, it can be concluded that the higher the students' critical thinking skills, the better their reading comprehension abilities.

This study examines the effectiveness of using WhatsApp as a tool for teaching English idiomatic expressions to pre-intermediate EAP students in the Non-English Department at the University of Muhammadiyah Gresik. From a pool of 250 students, 64 participants were selected based on their English proficiency using the Nelson Quick Check Placement Test and divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received idiom lessons and exercises through a WhatsApp group called Idiom Learning Group. They practiced 60 idioms outside the classroom, interacted with the researcher, and could make WhatsApp video calls for additional clarification. In contrast, the control group received the same lessons through traditional face-to-face instruction. The study was conducted over nine sessions. The first two sessions involved administering the placement test and a pre-test on idiomatic competence. The treatment phase spanned six sessions, during which the experimental group used WhatsApp for instruction and practice while the control group engaged in in-class learning. In the final session, both groups took a post-test to measure their improvement in idiomatic competence. Data analysis using paired samples and independent samples t-tests revealed a significant difference in post-test scores between the two groups, with the experimental group significantly outperforming the control group (p < .05). The findings demonstrate that teaching idioms through mobile technology, specifically WhatsApp, enhances idiomatic competence more effectively than traditional methods. This suggests that integrating mobile technology into language teaching can provide learners with flexible, interactive, and engaging opportunities for language practice, ultimately improving their learning outcomes.

In academic writing, cohesion plays a crucial role in creating clarity and flow. However, students often struggle to use cohesive devices effectively, which can impact the coherence of their writing. This study explores the use of grammatical cohesive devices in pros and cons essays written by students in the Marine Science study program to assess their effectiveness in conveying the writer’s intention. It aims to examine how these devices; references, substitution, ellipsis, and conjunction are employed to convey the writers’ intended meaning. Moreover, this study also identifies the most frequently used types of grammatical cohesive devices. Using qualitative content analysis approach, the researchers analyzed 80 essays to identify the frequency and effectiveness of each cohesive device. The findings reveal that reference (62.50%) was the most frequently used device, followed by conjunction (34.38%), while substitution and ellipsis were rarely employed (1.56% each). These results indicate that students primarily rely on pronouns, pointer words, and conjunctions to link ideas and maintain the flow of their arguments. This study highlights the need for more structured instruction and additional support to help students improve their use of cohesive devices. The results also contribute to the development of cohesion theory, particularly in the context of student writing, and suggest future research directions. Further exploration of underutilized devices like substitution and ellipsis, as well as the use of cohesive devices in other text types, could enhance understanding of student writing and inform teaching strategies to promote stronger cohesion and clarity in student essays.

English language proficiency is an essential competency that students must possess to face global competition. However, various challenges are still encountered by educational institutions, particularly at the junior high school (SMP) level, including limited teaching resources, low student motivation, and suboptimal utilization of extracurricular programs. SMP Islam Manbaul Ulum Gresik faces similar challenges, where students' English proficiency remains relatively low. In response to this issue, this community service program was carried out with the aim of supporting the improvement of students’ English skills through the strengthening of an extracurricular program based on mentoring and training. The program was designed through four systematic stages: needs mapping, activity planning, implementation, and evaluation. The main strategies included training for mentor teachers, developing interactive materials, and conducting workshops for students. The results of the activity showed significant improvement in students’ language skills, active participation, and students’ confidence. These findings indicate that the development of contextual and collaborative extracurricular programs can serve as an effective approach to enhance English proficiency among junior high school students.
