Abstract

The purpose of this research is to present a comprehensive analysis of the literature on developmental reading. The Google Scopus database and Publish or Perish tools were utilized to identify relevant articles. A total of 111 articles, spanning from 2019 to 2024, were reviewed. The references were organized and summarized using Mendeley software. Using the VOSviewer program, the authors analyzed this database and categorized the articles into five groups. Cluster 1 consists of seven items (developmental study, developmental trajectory, difference, fluency, relationship), Cluster 2 includes five items (developmental perspective, developmental trajectory, difference, fluency, relationship), Cluster 3 comprises four items (Chinese child, dyslexia, training, word), Cluster 4 contains three items (adult, developmental disability, intellectual), and Cluster 5 encompasses three items (developmental relation, evidence, reading comprehension).

Abstract

Despite a wealth of research on the acquisition of English reading skills, few studies have focused on the process from the perspective of learners’ experiences and cognitive strategies, especially within an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. A significant portion of existing research relies on established models rather than extracting insights directly from students, which creates a gap in understanding the development of reading proficiency in actual academic environments. This study seeks to create a grounded theory of English reading skill acquisition by exploring the experiences, challenges, and strategies of EFL learners. Utilizing a constructivist grounded theory methodology, data was gathered via semi-structured interviews with thirty undergraduate students across various proficiency levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) and ten English language instructors. The analysis employed the constant comparative method, which included open coding to identify themes, axial coding to recognize relationships, and selective coding to construct a theoretical framework. Results indicate that students face obstacles such as limited vocabulary, complicated sentence structures, cultural unfamiliarity, and reading anxiety, while utilizing strategies like skimming, scanning, predicting meanings, summarizing, and applying translation tools. Instructors highlight the necessity of explicit instruction in reading strategies and scaffolding techniques to aid learners. The study concludes that effective reading instruction should combine strategy-based learning with techniques to alleviate anxiety, ensuring that teaching methods are in tune with students’ cognitive processes to improve reading proficiency in higher education EFL settings

Abstract

The aim of the research is to offer a thorough analysis of the literature on intensive reading. The Publish or Perish software and the Scopus database were two of the sophisticated research methods used to find and compile a large number of pertinent academic publications and studies. In order to guarantee that the analysis is based on the most up-to-date and reliable research available, these resources were chosen for their effectiveness in locating high-quality, peer-reviewed papers. In this study, 37 publications published between 2019 and 2023 were thoroughly examined. Mendeley software was used to methodically organize and condense references, ensuring effective administration and simple access to relevant sources. Afterward, researchers used VOSviewer software to thoroughly examine the database in an effort to find trends and patterns among the articles. To provide a more organized summary of the existing literature on this topic, the researcher also attempted to classify the papers based on important themes, approaches, and conclusions. There are three clusters found. three components in Cluster 1: reading, the intensive care unit (ICU), and the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Staff and families must read and understand updates, directions, and charts for both units. The terms "grade" and "intensive," which are different but closely connected, made up Cluster 2. Due to their frequent co-occurrence in the examined articles, which suggested a significant relationship in the context of the study, these two words were grouped together. The two essential terms in Cluster 3 were "effect" and "learning disability." These terms' matching in Cluster 3 suggests that the studies in question frequently examined the influence or consequences (i.e., "effect") on people with learning difficulties, underscoring the topic's applicability in the most recent literature. A better grasp of the main ideas and issues covered in the articles was made possible by the discovery and arrangement of these clusters.

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine EFL students' skills in writing a thesis introduction. Five student dipilih berdasarkan level keterampilan menulis di mana kelima mahasiswa ini merupakan mahasiswa terbaik. The analysis method used is thematic progression. The student texts were analyzed for each paragraph, then counted how many sentences applied the Constant Theme Pattern, Linear Theme Pattern, Split Theme Pattern, and Derived Theme Pattern. The findings indicated that from the total 194 sentences being analysed, seventy-six employed this pattern to connect ideas. Another aspect of connecting ideas is the cohesive devices used. The higher application of definite articles, pronouns and word repetition is evident. Students majorly drew definite articles and demonstrative pronouns (e.g. this, that) which then makes it adaptable for readers to follow their idea development in a paragraph. Regarding the coherence, students in this study significantly relied on the theme of sentences to be the source of their idea development. Despite the clarity and coherence being well managed in students’ writing, the link between ideas can still be diversed by employing other patterns. Moreover, some rhemes contain new information that need further elaboration as the text grows. Students have applied the rules of thematic progression, although there are several sentences that do not comply with the principles of cohesion and coherence. Guidance and feedback from the lecturer is really needed so that writing skills are maintained, especially in writing the introduction to the thesis.

Abstract

Academic reading is an active process that requires engagement with the text. It is a complex skill that demands effort and plays a crucial role in building knowledge and understanding. However, many students struggle with academic reading due to complex sentence structures, abstract concepts, and the need for critical analysis. This study investigates students’ needs for a STEM-based digital learning model to enhance academic English reading in the 21st century. Using a quantitative survey approach, data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of 33 statements distributed to students in the English Education Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Mataram. Descriptive statistics, including frequency and percentage, were used to analyze the data. The findings reveal that most students recognize the importance of STEM in improving academic reading comprehension and motivation. Digital applications, particularly interactive tools and gamification, were perceived as effective in supporting learning. However, challenges such as technical difficulties, low motivation, and the need for training in digital tools were identified. The study highlights the necessity of structured academic reading support and digital learning resources that align with the curriculum. These findings provide valuable insights into the integration of STEM-based approaches in English language education, emphasizing the need for effective instructional strategies to maximize their benefits.
