There were 35 students as a sample and the research employed Experimental research with pre-test and post-test used to take the data. The description of statistics and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data, and the SPSS program also was used in the process of data analysis. The results show that the maximum pre-test score is 2.000, while the maximum post-test score is 4.000. Furthermore, the mean score of the pre-test is 1.890 with a deviation standard is 0,323, whereas the mean score of the post-test is 3,030 with a deviation standard is 0,453. After doing the requirement test of normality and homogeneity, the mean difference test is done by using the Mann-Whitney Test (assumption that data is not normal) with the SPSS program. The result of the Mann-Whitney Test shows that the significance value is smaller than 0,05 means that H1 is accepted. To sum up, this indicates that there are significant changes between the data in the pre-test and post-test after getting treatment using summary writing to improve students’ reading comprehension.

Abstract

This study aims to find out the students’ strategies in reading academic articles, explain the student’s problems in reading academic articles and describe the ways the students used to solve the problems of students at the English Study Program of Pattimura University. The survey design and the quantitative method were used as the method in this study. The data was collected using a questionnaire and an In-depth Interview. The results showed that the students of the English Department mostly used the use of reading strategies when reading academic articles. The three categories of reading strategies GLOB, PROB and SUPP Strategies help the students when they are challenged to read academic articles. Furthermore, the students can improve their critical thinking when they use those strategies. The problems that the students faced when reading academic articles were they found unfamiliar words or phrases, and difficulty in covering the related ideas in the text and the content of the text. Poor vocabulary is the most problematic in reading academic articles. The way the students solved their problems was by guessing the meaning from context, using dictionaries, highlighting, scanning and skimming and mind mapping. Respondents agreed that using a dictionary or Google Translator as the alternative provided in these strategies can solve or handle the difficulties in the articles. They also said that without using these strategies when reading academic articles, can make them lose their concentration to understand the texts. Therefore, the results of this study provide insight for English students to make the correlation between their reading strategies and writing ability to make their critical review paper when reading academic articles.

Abstract

The use of Problem-Learning (PBL) has become increasingly important in language education as it encourages student engagement, collaboration, and the development of critical thinking skills. However, there remains a gap between the theoretical benefits of PBL and the practical challenges teachers face in its implementation, particularly in teaching English contexts. This study aims to explore English teachers’ perceptions of the implementation of PBL in teaching English at SMP 15 Ambon. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining questionnaires and interviews with two English teachers to gather both quantitative and qualitative data. The findings indicate that teachers hold a generally positive perception of PBL, acknowledging its potential to enhance student motivation, participation, and critical thinking. Despite these benefits, the study also revealed notable challenges, such as students’ limited vocabulary and difficulty in understanding the lesson material, which hinder the full effectiveness of PBL. In conclusion, while PBL is perceived as a beneficial and effective teaching approach, its implementation requires additional support and strategies to overcome existing obstacles in the classroom, particularly in terms of language proficiency and student readiness.
