Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to improve the reading comprehension skills of eighth-grade EFL students by implementing the Read-Ask-Put-Question (RAPQ) technique at SMP NW Gelanggang during the 2024–2025 academic year. The research followed the standard planning, acting, observing, and reflecting cycle. Seventeen students participated in a one-cycle intervention that integrated the RAPQ technique into regular reading instruction. The technique involved four structured stages: reading the text, identifying and asking about the main idea, paraphrasing the idea using the students’ words, and generating and answering comprehension questions. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test assessments, supported by classroom observations and field notes. Quantitative results showed a significant improvement in students’ reading performance, with the mean score increasing from 8.18 to 17.29. A paired-sample t-test confirmed that this improvement was statistically significant (t (16) = -9.877, p < .001). The results indicate that the RAPQ technique fosters more active, strategic reading by encouraging comprehension monitoring and textual engagement. The study concludes that RAPQ is a practical, student-centered strategy for enhancing reading comprehension in lower secondary EFL contexts, particularly where students have previously relied on teacher-dominated instruction.

Abstract

This study aims at identifying the grammar difficulties encountered by students in the Intermediate English Grammar course at Hamzanwadi University, investigate the contributing factors, and explore possible solutions proposed by students to address these challenges. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involved 20 purposively selected students. The data were collected through questionnaire, interviews to obtain students’ perspectives and document analysis of their final examination papers to examine their actual grammar performance. To ensure the trustworthiness, methodological triangulation was applied. The data analysis in this study was carried out through three systematic stages, namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, which were integrated within the framework of triangulation. The results revealed that the most frequent grammatical difficulties were related to tenses and clauses, while additional challenges were observed in subject–verb agreement, modals, articles, and prepositions. These difficulties were largely attributed to limited practice opportunities, difficulty in memorizing grammar rules, restricted vocabulary, and less engaging teaching methods. To overcome these issues, it is suggested that students engage in more contextual grammar practice using authentic materials, while lecturers adopt more communicative and interactive teaching strategies supported by targeted remedial sessions and constructive feedback, in order to enhance students’ grammar mastery.
