Abstract

Reading comprehension is considered a challenging part of learning English for many Indonesian secondary school students. This study aims to explore the causes, impacts, and possible solutions for poor reading comprehension issues. The study scrutinizes the issue by reviewing previous studies, in which a number of articles and books were critically analyzed. The results indicate that poor reading comprehension occurs due to three remarkable factors, which are students’ lack of motivation, low prior knowledge, and poor English vocabulary. Moreover, this issue also leads to three main adverse impacts, such as reducing students’ learning achievement, hindering students’ problem-solving skills, and inhibiting students’ future studies and careers. Therefore, in responding to the problem above, this study proposes two learning approaches, which are the Cooperative Integrated and Reading Composition (CIRC) Technique and Metacognitive Strategy.

Abstract

Task-based language teaching (TBLT is a recently developed approach that has received significant attention from researchers in recent years. In this paper, TBLT refers to an approach that defines the use of tasks in various classroom activities in order to develop students' language skills. It is believed that TBLT offers different advantages in improving English skills, particularly by involving students in speaking activities in the classroom and enhancing their communication abilities. Given the considerable amount of research focused on applying TBLT in speaking activities, it prompts the question of whether it can also improve other skills, such as writing and reading. Therefore, the article examines its usefulness and explores the use of TBLT for improving and enhancing language skills in three separate areas: speaking, writing, and reading. The results show that, with proper and thorough task development settings, it can be suggested that TBLT can effectively be implemented to increase students' ability to communicate, reinforce their writing performance, and develop their reading comprehension skills. In this essence, TBLT emphasizes activities that focus on the learner and enables teachers to provide guidance as facilitators and supervisors. During the exercise and activities, students also have a chance to participate in tasks organically as authentic learning experiences. While there are criticisms and concerns about using TBLT, researchers have recognized these challenges and contend they can be effectively resolved. Ultimately, the findings of this paper have provided novel viewpoints on the implementation of TBLT in various aspects of language learning, which can be a valuable approach for improving students' English proficiency.

Abstract

This study critically examined the use of English-language proficiency tests, such as the TOEFL and IELTS, as gatekeeping tools for university admissions in Indonesia. While these tests serve as standardised indicators of academic readiness, their widespread application raises concerns about fairness, accessibility, and sociocultural implications, especially for students in rural areas. Grounded in sociocultural theories of language, identity, and power, and informed by contemporary research on language assessment and educational equity, this qualitative inquiry used critical autoethnography, reflective narratives, and critical analysis to explore two main focuses of the issue: why English proficiency tests are used as entrance requirements in a country where English is not the medium of daily communication, and how these tests affect students’ identities and opportunities. Findings showed that these tests often function beyond linguistic evaluation—symbolising institutional prestige, perpetuating social inequalities, and constructing identity hierarchies among students. The investigation is further enriched by contemporary research on language assessment and educational equity, which provides a framework for understanding how these tests may inadvertently perpetuate social inequalities and limit opportunities for certain student groups. The paper concludes by recommending inclusive language policies and enhanced access to language learning in rural Indonesia.
