Abstract

English teachers who teach English as second language within a foreign language context such as in Indonesia should realize that the goal of the English teaching is not only 'knowing' the language but the acquisition of that language. In order to allow the acquisition lake place in the classroom learning setting, comprehensible input should be provided. As suggested by Krashen, L2 learners gain the comprehensible input through what they read and what they listen. Have English teachers in Indonesia provided their students such comprehensible input? This paper is inviting EIlglish teachers to have a self-reflection towards this question.

Abstract

Reading is one of the fundamental aspects underlying students’ achievement yet becomes an activity abstained by students. In fact, EFL learners demand more enjoyable and diverse reading activities. Most EFL students perceive that they are continuously exposed to prevalent reading activities. This qualitative study aims to scrutinize the implementation of KWL strategy in EFL reading comprehension. To answer the research question, twelve higher students of the English department were invited as the participants to be interviewed. The findings reflected that EFL learners encountered reading challenges related to vocabulary, reading comprehension, and attention span. However, KWL strategy assisted them, particularly in setting goal, monitoring reading process, and evaluating reading activity.
