Abstract

This study aimed to determine the strategies used by English teachers at SMK Insan Tazakka, Cikampek to teach reading comprehension. This study uses two English teacher participants at different grade levels. This study employed a qualitative method of data collection. Data were collected through semi-structured interview sessions and author-administered questionnaires. Interviews were conducted with 14 questions to obtain detailed data. And a 25-item questionnaire consisting of three categories. Metacognitive strategy guidance (planning, monitoring, evaluation), cognitive strategy guidance (visualization, summarization), and social strategy guidance (collaborative learning, questioning) are performed to complete the data obtained. According to interview findings, the first English teacher used the K-W-L (Know, Want to Know, and Learned) reading strategy and SQ3R (Surveying, Questioning, Reading, Reciting, and Reviewing) strategy. This was deemed sufficient to cover all aspects of the learning process, and the K-W-L strategy allows students to practice concentration during the learning process. It is even said that the K-W-L strategy can support and help students' reading skills. At the same time, the second English teacher uses her CIRC (Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition) teaching strategy. This is because teachers find the process easy to implement and use. The obtained questionnaire data then corroborated the previous data in writing. It can be concluded that two English teachers at SMK Insan Tazakka use different strategies in teaching reading comprehension in class.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how different genders are represented in Indonesia's grade eight English textbooks. The primary goal of this research is to ascertain the various gender representations and how language and images are used in the English textbook "Think Globally Act Locally." The study employs Fairclough's (1989) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) frameworks, specifically the description, interpretation, and explanation. Analyses are divided into five categories: Authors' genders, character genders, issues centered on men or women pictures and visibility, and linguistic traits. Additionally, the images have been subjected to a critical image analysis using the Critical Image Analysis program. The investigation's findings reveal that gender prejudice or stereotypes persist in the English textbooks used in Indonesian schools, despite the government's efforts to promote equality and fairness in education through the country's educational policy. Lastly, the study offers some pedagogical implications and recommendations for resolving gender inequality in the educational materials used in English classrooms.
