Abstract

This study aims to improve students’ ability to identify the main idea in reading comprehension for the TOEFL test at SMK Sasmita Jaya 2 through guided learning using strategic reading techniques. Many students struggle to find the main idea in English texts, necessitating targeted instructional support. The intervention lasted four weeks, applying a collaborative approach that emphasized skimming, scanning, and inference strategies. Seven students who had difficulty with main idea comprehension participated. Data were collected via pre- and post-tests, observational analysis, and in-depth interviews focusing on competence and attitude changes. Results showed significant progress, with average scores increasing from 55 to 72. The intervention also enhanced student motivation and self-confidence in preparation for the TOEFL exam. The study is based on Vygotsky’s Social Constructivist Theory (1978), which highlights the role of social interaction and scaffolding in learning. Guided reading strategies acted as scaffolding to connect students' current skills to desired competencies, facilitating reading comprehension development. The findings suggest that guided strategy-based reading instruction effectively improves comprehension and positively affects learners’ psychological aspects. This research supports creating English learning models for vocational schools, particularly to prepare for international standardized tests, and offers potential for adapting this model to other educational contexts aiming to improve reading skills. Overall, the study contributes to initiatives aimed at enhancing English proficiency among vocational students in Indonesia.

Abstract

This research focuses on analyzing grammatical errors in comparison and contrast paragraphs written by second-semester students of the English Department at Universitas Pamulang. Grammatical errors often occur in students' writing when the grammatical arrangement does not follow grammar rules. The main purposes of the research were to identify the types of grammatical errors and to describe the most frequent types of grammatical errors found in students' writing of comparison and contrast paragraphs. This research was carried out from October 2023 to June 2024 and used a qualitative descriptive research design. The subjects of the research were the twenty comparison and contrast paragraphs written by the students as a writing assignment. The data were collected from the original students' writing products, and the data were observed to find grammatical errors and classify the types of errors. Furthermore, the most frequent type of grammatical error was also calculated. The researcher analyzed the types of grammatical errors in students' writing based on Dulay, Burt, and Krashen's theory. The results showed that there were 127 grammatical errors, which were classified into 47 omission errors, 35 addition errors, 30 misformation errors, and 15 misordering errors. Additionally, the most frequent type of grammatical error was omission errors, which accounted for 37% of the total errors and had the highest percentage. The results of this research have implications for understanding strategies to address students' grammatical problems when they are producing text.
