Abstract

       This study was conducted to address the low reading comprehension skills of junior high school students, which highlight the need for more interactive and collaborative learning strategies. The purpose of this study was to describe the application of the Listen-Read-Discuss (LRD) strategy in reading instruction and to examine how this strategy can enhance students' reading comprehension skills. This study employed a qualitative approach with a classroom action research design, implemented across three learning cycles involving 32 seventh-grade students at SMPN 03 Cibarusah, Bekasi Regency. Data were collected through observation and interviews, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results revealed that the implementation of the LRD strategy improved students' focus, participation, and ability to comprehend descriptive texts. Each stage of this strategy played a complementary role—the listening stage helped students understand the context, the reading stage reinforced their comprehension of the text content, and the discussion stage promoted meaning clarification and collaboration among students. Challenges such as distractions and limited vocabulary were minimized through active and collaborative discussion activities. Overall, the LRD strategy proved effective in fostering more interactive and participatory reading instruction and can serve as an alternative approach for teachers to enhance students' reading comprehension at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the extent to which the tasks in Bright: An English textbook for Grade 8 align with the principles of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT). This study employed a qualitative research design using content analysis. The data were taken from three selected chapters representing the beginning, middle, and end of the textbook. The tasks were analyzed using criteria adapted from TBLT principles, including meaning focus, communicative gap, learner language use, communicative outcome, and interaction. The findings reveal that the tasks are only partially aligned with TBLT principles. While some activities promote meaningful communication and interaction, the majority of tasks are dominated by form-focused exercises such as fill in the blank, matching, and sentence completion. These activities limit students’ opportunities to engage in real life communication. It can be concluded that the textbook does not fully support the implementation of TBLT. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to adapt the tasks to make them more communicative, and textbook developers should incorporate more task-based activities to better support communicative language learning.
