Abstract

This article addresses the profiles of metacognitive reading strategies used by less proficient EFL learners in one public university in the east of Indonesia. Data were collected from 54 undergraduate students using MARSI (Metacognitive Awareness Reading Strategy Inventory) questionnaire. The questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics which revealed the level of metacognitive reading strategies used by the less proficient EFL students. The analysis found that there is a high level of using Support Strategy (M=3.92, SD=1.22) and followed by Problem Solving Strategy (M=3.91, SD=1.1) and a medium level of using Global Strategy (M=3.39, SD=1.05). The finding revealed the lack of reading strategy instruction that concern the global analysis of the text. The results suggest that the less proficient EFL students need to generate their metacognitive level on global analysis strategies to improve their reading comprehension.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk mengatasi learning loss yang diakibatkan oleh pandemi Covid-19 yang terjadi di Indonesia. Selama masa pandemi, siswa-siswa belajar dengan sistem pembelajaran daring. Resiko learning loss terjadi selama pembelajaran daring karena kurangnya pengawasan dari orang- tua dan tidak ada interaksi dengan teman sejawat yang dapat mengurangi motivasi siswa dalam belajar. Oleh karena itu, program English Intensive Course dibuat untuk mendampingi jemaat GMIT Sion Sasi usia sekolah di Kefamenanu, NTT, untuk memberikan pengetahuan dan latihan lebih dalam penggunaaan Bahasa Inggris sehari-hari yang selama ini tidak bisa dipraktekkan di pembelajaran daring. Metode yang dilaksanakan adalah pelatihan Bahasa Inggris dalam kegiatan sehari-hari seperti supermarket shopping, giving directions, describing cities, dan describing people. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kemampuan siswa dalam penggunaan Bahasa Inggris dari hasil rata-rata pre-test 5.05 naik menjadi 6.5 pada hasil rata-rata post-test. Siswa juga memberikan kesan positif dan merasakan manfaat dari kegiatan ini, tidak hanya dari segi peningkatan nilai namun juga dalam hal motivasi belajar. Siswa dapat melakukan interaksi dan praktek percakapan Bahasa Inggris dengan rekan sejawat sehingga siswa bisa tampil percaya diri dan dapat menyelesaikan latihan dengan baik.

Abstract

Reading is one of the four essential language skills in language learning. Its role is not only to support language competence but also to broaden knowledge. However, students’ reading comprehension ability remains unsatisfactory. This research aims to improve the reading comprehension of seventh-grade students at SMPN I Miomaffo Timur through the use of mind mapping technique. Specifically, it investigates: (1) the extent to which mind mapping improves students’ reading comprehension, and (2) the common mistakes made by students in comprehending texts. A pre-experimental design with pre-test and post-test was employed. The pre-test results showed that 60% of students performed very poorly, 30% poorly, 10% fairly, and none performed well. In contrast, the post-test indicated significant progress, with 15% of students achieving very good scores, 75% good, and 10% fair. These findings demonstrate that mind mapping is effective in enhancing students’ reading comprehension, particularly in understanding recount texts. The common difficulties identified in the pre-test were related to stated detail questions, identifying the main idea, determining the purpose of the text, and recognizing text type. In the post-test, the remaining challenges were mainly in identifying the main idea, understanding details, and determining the purpose of the text. Overall, the study concludes that mind mapping positively impacts students’ reading comprehension and helps minimize common reading difficulties.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the high-order thinking skills (HOTS) of second-grade students at SMAN Noemuti in understanding expository texts. This study investigated students' abilities in evaluating, analyzing, making connections, drawing conclusions, and synthesizing information using HOTS-oriented assessments. This study used a quantitative method with a total of 25 students as samples. The results showed various levels of student competence: high, medium, and low. Evaluation and drawing conclusions were identified as the easiest skills, with synthesis as the most challenging. Students with high ability demonstrated critical thinking and creativity in applying HOTS, achieving excellent results in all categories. Students with medium ability demonstrated moderate proficiency, especially in connecting and summarizing ideas, while students with low ability experienced significant difficulties, especially in synthesizing information. Challenges faced by students included understanding complex vocabulary, handling application-based questions, and interpreting text structures. This study emphasizes the importance of tailored teaching strategies to improve HOTS, such as providing various levels of questions and engaging learning activities. This study offers insights for educators and future researchers to improve HOTS-based learning, fostering critical thinking and comprehensive reading skills that are essential for academic success.
