Abstract

This research aims to reveal the barriers and solutions that occur to students when using the Question Answer Relationship (QAR) strategy in improving students' reading comprehension skills through recount text. The students involved in this research were students at SMK Negeri 5 Malang class X majoring in fashion design. The method used in this research is a qualitative research method with a case study design. In this research, data was collected through observations that occurred in class and interviews with English subject teachers. The QAR strategy is one of the lessons in Active Learning and this learning strategy is also known as Student-Centered. The application of the QAR strategy can build and create students' critical thinking and high order thinking. Apart from that, students can also recognize or group questions according to the answers and improve reading comprehension. The findings in this research revealed that some students experienced barriers when the teacher implemented the QAR strategy through recount text. Some students experience barriers because they lack skills in think and search question, grouping questions and finding the main idea in a text. In this research, teachers applied QAR strategy based on the Raphael Model. This research is expected to provide benefits to English teachers as one of the strategies implemented to improve students' reading comprehension.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the obstacles faced when presenting ESP procedure text through oral presentations in business and marketing majors and how to overcome those obstacles. This study used a case study design to understand the whole case in the totality of the environment. The subject of this study was an English teacher in a private Vocational High School (VHS) majoring in business and marketing in West Java, Indonesia. This study used two data collection techniques: observation and interview. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis. This study reported that there were several obstacles faced, such as the lack of students' readiness in presenting ESP procedure text through oral presentation (lack of confidence and lack of language mastery), lack of teacher's readiness in handling ESP teaching, and the mismatch between the given curriculum and the business and marketing students' need. Further, there were also several alternative solutions to overcome those obstacles, such as modifying the material and instructional model based on student's needs, using additional educational tools, and watching students' progress in preparing their oral presentations.
