In conclusion, most students have demonstrated good awareness of their reading process and have actively used various strategies to improve their comprehension of English texts. However, there is still room for improvement, especially in the aspects of metacognitive monitoring and the use of more complex strategies.

Research suggests that personality competence not only affects the teacher-student relationship but also contributes to students' academic and personal development. Through observation, interviews, and documentation, this study investigates the personality competence of English teachers at SMK Negeri 1 Botomuzoi. The findings reveal that while the teachers demonstrate several positive traits, there are areas where improvements are needed, particularly in self-discipline, responsibility, and demonstrating pride in the teaching profession. The study underscores the need for continuous professional development to enhance teachers' personality competence, which in turn can positively impact the overall educational experience for students.
