Abstract

This research investigates the correlation between recognition memory of vocabulary (RMV) and reading comprehension among eighth-grade English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners at MTs Favorit Darut Taqwa Dlanggu, Indonesia. Utilizing a mixed-methods research design combining quantitative correlational analysis and qualitative descriptive inquiry, the study engaged 28 participants selected through purposive sampling based on their educational level and prior learning experiences. Data collection was executed through two distinct instruments: a vocabulary recognition memory assessment comprising multiple-choice questions and a reading comprehension evaluation. The findings indicated a statistically significant and exceptionally strong positive correlation between vocabulary recognition memory and reading comprehension (r = 0.976, p < 0.01), thereby illustrating a robust connection between learners’ capacity to recognize previously acquired vocabulary and their performance in comprehension tasks. Nonetheless, the results also imply that vocabulary recognition in isolation does not comprehensively account for reading comprehension, as various reading strategies, including skimming, scanning, and inference-making, were also integral to the students’ comprehension processes. This study underscores the pedagogical significance of amalgamating contextualized vocabulary instruction with explicit training in reading strategies and differentiated instructional methods. The implications of these findings offer valuable pedagogical insights aimed at enhancing English literacy instruction within EFL environments, particularly in Pesantren-based educational institutions.

There are many challenges occur according to the implementation of  remote teaching. It is necessary to comprehend the reflection of teachers‘ performance in online teaching as the contribution for school policy makers to develop teachers’ quality through enhancing technology-based learning.

Furthermore, throughout the pandemic, online learning has an impact on students' English learning achievement, particularly in listening and speaking skills. Teachers also expressed some reflections as a means of improving future learning, such as the need for collaborative efforts between teachers and guidance counselor in motivating and guiding students, the formation of study groups and teacher visits, and the improvement of technology-based learning skills by teachers.  It also found that the barriers of teaching in the new normal is students’ low selfdiscipline and the limited time allocation of learning. Moreover, off-line is more effective than online learning. Offline learning encourages students to comprehend learning context better and offers accessibility to the teachers for monitoring the students ‘ learning performance.

Abstract

This study describes the teaching strategies used by the English teacher and the students’ perception of English learning in the Tahfidz class at MIN 2 Mojokerto. The research used a qualitative descriptive method with one English teacher and 28 students as participants. Data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation. The results show that the teacher used group discussion, repetition, direct explanation, translation, and question–answer strategies. These methods were chosen to make learning easier for students whose main focus is Qur’an memorization. Students’ perception was both positive and negative. Most students liked interactive activities such as group work and learning new words, but some felt English was still difficult and sometimes hard to focus on. In conclusion, interactive and group-based strategies are effective for Tahfidz students, but more help is needed when lessons rely on direct explanation.
