Abstract

The objectives of this study were to find out (1) whether or not there was a significant improvement in reading comprehension achievement of the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 2 Palembang after they were taught by using online mind mapping, and (2) whether or not there was contribution of each sub-skill of reading comprehension to reading comprehension achievement of the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 2 Palembang.  In this study, Time Series design was applied. The sample of this study was 40 tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 2 Palembang, who belong to the experimental group. To collect the data, the experimental group was given a pretest and a post test. The result showed that (1). the mean difference between pre-test and post-test of the experimental group was 34.70 at the significance level of p value <0.05. Since t obtained was higher than t table (18.2111>2.023), H01 was rejected and there was a significant improvement in reading comprehension achievement after they were taught by using online mind mapping, (2).The highest contribution of reading sub-skill was given by sequence (39.4%) and then it was followed by vocabulary (23.3%), detail (17.3%), main idea (9.1%), inference (5.6%) and cause and effect (5.2%).Keywords: reading comprehension, online mind mapping

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a crucial skill that supports the academic success of junior high school students, particularly in an increasingly globalized world. Understanding students' proficiency in this area is essential for developing effective teaching strategies. This quantitative descriptive study evaluated the English reading comprehension abilities of 80 ninth-grade students at MTs Muqimus Sunnah. The assessment was based on an 18-question reading comprehension test covering four key aspects: contraction, sequence, vocabulary, and inference. The study also analyzed performance differences by gender and grade level. The results revealed that female students scored higher on average (4.43) than male students (3.66), though the difference was not statistically significant. Students demonstrated the strongest performance in contraction (8.68) and sequence (7.73) items. However, they struggled with context understanding and inference, indicating a need for improvement in higher-order reading skills. The findings suggest that while students show proficiency in recognizing structural and sequential elements, they face challenges in deeper analytical reading. This highlights the importance of targeted instructional strategies that emphasize vocabulary development and critical reading skills. This study provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers in enhancing English literacy instruction. Structured interventions focusing on analytical comprehension and vocabulary acquisition are recommended to address observed weaknesses and support overall reading development.

Abstract

Reading proficiency is essential for academic success, particularly among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in higher education. As Information and Communication Technology (ICT) becomes increasingly integrated into educational practices, its potential impact on students’ reading skills warrants closer investigation. This study examines the relationship between ICT utilization, academic performance, and reading proficiency among EFL students. A correlational design was employed to analyze the association among ICT usage, Grade Point Average (GPA), and reading proficiency. Seventy-one students from an English Education postgraduate program at a state university in Palembang participated in the study. Data were collected through an ICT utilization questionnaire, official GPA records, and a standardized TOEFL reading test. Pearson Product Moment correlation and regression analyses were used to interpret the data. Findings revealed a significant positive correlation between ICT utilization and reading proficiency (r = 0.237, p = 0.046), with ICT contributing 5.6% to reading proficiency. In contrast, GPA showed no significant correlation (r = -0.039, p = 0.748) or predictive value for reading outcomes. The overall regression model was not statistically significant (p = 0.075). While ICT use demonstrates a modest but significant influence on students' reading skills, academic performance, as measured by GPA, does not. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating ICT tools into reading instruction and call for enhanced digital literacy initiatives to support reading development in EFL contexts.
