Abstract

This study portrayed the English teachers' perceptions of using rewards in teaching English at the elementary school level. It aimed to investigate why English teachers use rewards in their teaching. The study employed a qualitative research approach, with data collected through interviews. It was conducted at a public elementary school in Jambi, where three English teachers from the school were selected as participants, and the data was gathered through interviews. The findings illustrated a gap between teachers' theoretical understanding and their practice in implementing rewards as a way to motivate students to learn. The results showed that teachers do partially understand the concept of 'reward' in theory. In line with these findings, the study revealed that rewards can help improve several aspects of student learning, such as self-confidence, motivation, and enthusiasm for learning. The study also includes several recommendations for stakeholders and other teachers.

Abstract

This paper presents a systematic literature review examining the effectiveness of various reading strategies tailored for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students with limited proficiency in Indonesian senior high schools. Despite reading being a foundational skill in EFL contexts, numerous national assessments continue to reveal widespread difficulties in reading comprehension among these learners. The review aims to identify practical, research-supported approaches that enhance reading engagement and achievement. Utilizing the PRISMA framework, a total of peer-reviewed articles published from 2014 to 2024 were analyzed, sourced from Scopus, ERIC, and Google Scholar. The quality of each article was assessed using a simplified CASP (Critical Appraisal Skills Programme) framework to ensure methodological rigor and relevance. The review identifies five primary strategies: repeated reading, reciprocal teaching, partner reading, the use of graphic organizers, and digital-based reading tools. These approaches were found to contribute significantly to learner comprehension, motivation, and confidence, particularly in low-proficiency EFL classroom settings.
