Abstract

In an era where literacy serves as a gateway to global participation, many Muslim EFL learners continue to encounter significant challenges in mastering academic reading skills. This study investigate the effectiveness of Online Reciprocal Teaching (ORT) versus Online Reading Strategy Instruction (ORSI) in enhancing reading comprehension among Muslim learners in standardized English proficiency tests. The participants consisted of 74 fourth-semester students enrolled in a fully online English course at UIN Siber Syekh Nurjati Cirebon. A pre-test post-test control group design was employed, with Class A (n = 37) receiving ORT intervention, which focused on predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing, while Class B (n = 37) received ORSI instruction emphasizing skimming, scanning, and making inferences. The intervention spanned 16 sessions, delivered through a blend of live and recorded formats. Reading comprehension was assessed using a validated test adapted from the Longman Preparation Course for the TOEFL. Pre-test scores were treated as covariates in the ANCOVA analysis. The results revealed a statistically significant improvement in the post-test scores of ORT group compared to the ORSI group. These findings suggest that reciprocal teaching fosters deeper cognitive and metacognitive engagement in online reading instruction. The study recommends the integration of ORT into EFL curricula at Islamic higher education institutions to support more inclusive, strategic, and effective learning practices.

Abstract

The integration of technology into language education has become essential, especially for pre-service English teachers who must develop innovative teaching strategies. Technology-Enhanced Language Learning (TELL) offers opportunities to foster creativity and student engagement, particularly when guided by a structured pedagogical model such as the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework. This study explored how pre-service English teachers implemented Technology-Enhanced Language Learning (TELL) using the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework during their teaching practicum. Using a qualitative design with interviews and teaching module analysis, the findings showed that participants applied cognitive, social, and teaching presence to create engaging learning experiences. Despite facing challenges such as limited access, low digital literacy, and difficulty sustaining CoI elements, they employed adaptive strategies such as device sharing, collaboration, and structured guidance. This study concludes that while the implementation of TELL through the CoI framework is promising, it requires ongoing support and training to address contextual constraints. The findings contribute to the development of teacher education programs and inform institutional efforts to enhance digital readiness in English language teaching.
