In Papua, Indonesia, English education is situated within a unique policy context in which the Special Autonomy Law mandates English as a second language, yet it is often taught as a foreign language in practice. This discrepancy has contributed to challenges in developing students’ speaking proficiency. This study aimed to explore the mismatch between 7th-grade students’ learning styles and teachers’ instructional strategies in a junior high school in Sorong, Indonesia with the goal of proposing more adaptive teaching approaches. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining the VARK learning style questionnaire with qualitative interviews to gather data on students' preferences and classroom practices. The results showed that aligning teaching strategies with students’ diverse learning styles significantly improved their speaking skills. These findings underscored the importance of implementing adaptive instructional methods to meet varied learning needs and enhance English language proficiency among junior high school learners in Indonesia. This research contributes to the growing evidence supporting learning style-based instruction, particularly in the context of English language education in Indonesian junior high schools.

This study aims to identify the obstacles faced by grade 11 students at MAN Sorong SP 4 in comprehending English reading texts. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through a 4-point Likert scale questionnaire completed by 20 students and semi-structured interviews with 5 students and 1 English teacher. The instrument covered four key areas: vocabulary mastery, motivation, media preferences, and teacher support. Results revealed that 76% of students struggled with vocabulary, 71% lacked effective reading strategies such as skimming and inference, and 64% had difficulties understanding text structures. Additionally, 60% of students demonstrated low motivation toward academic reading, although they showed interest in English content through social media. Interview findings supported the quantitative data, indicating students' reliance on dictionaries, absence of explicit reading strategy instruction, and low confidence in dealing with complex texts. The study recommends an instructional approach that integrates reading strategies, vocabulary development, and educational digital media to enhance students’ holistic reading comprehension skills.
