Abstract

Reading is one of the important basic skills in English. Personality types also have a relationship with students' reading comprehension. There are many ways of classifying one’s personality. One of these is categorizing them into extrovert or introverted types. This research was conducted through quantitative non-experimental research. The population of this research was all IX class students at SMPN 2 Lirik. The study used Eysenck’s Personality Questionnaire to measure students’ personality types and examined their correlation with reading comprehension. While no significant overall correlation was found, extrovert and introvert characteristics influenced specific comprehension processes differently. Based on the data that has been collected, the level of students' extrovert personality, the results showed that the overall average score is 38.38. This places most students in the medium extrovert personality category. Meanwhile, regarding the level of students' introverted personality, the results showed that most students were in the medium category, with an average overall score of 42.17 from a total of 65 respondents. Both extroverts and introverts have a significant role in their reading comprehension abilities. Although overall there was no significant correlation between personality type (X) and reading comprehension based on the t-count value of 0.227 which is lower than the t-table of 1.998 and a significance value of 0.821 (greater than α = 0.05), the findings from the analysis of each indicator indicate that extrovert and introvert personality characteristics have different influences on the process of understanding texts.

Abstract: For the past four years, English teachers in Indonesia have been required to adopt Differentiated Instruction in their lessons to make their learning more adaptable for students' needs as a result of modifications to a new curriculum known as Merdeka Curriculum. However, there were limited studies conducted to investigate English teachers’ understanding and implementation of Differentiated Instruction at vocational high schools’ level. The purpose of this research is to fill this gap through qualitative research. This study is intended: (1) to investigate English teachers’ understanding of Differentiated Instruction , (2) to explore how English teachers use Differentiated Instruction as a teaching approach in the classroom. Five English teachers from SMK 1 and SMK 2 Pariaman participated in this research. The data were gathered from observation checklists and interviews.
