Abstract

This study explores the relationship between students’ metafunction competence and their critical reading. This study uses mixed method approach to discover deep and whole comprehension of the research problem. The five undergraduate students who have attended functional grammar class are purposively involved. This study shows that students’ metafunction competence and their critical reading positively correlate. In the other words, the students’ metafunction competence develops their critical reading ability. It is corresponding with the conclusion which is drawn by Bumela (2011) that the initial formation of meaning is also largely influences by reader’s expectations and background knowledge. Hereby, students’ metafunction competence plays as students’ background knowledge to recognise the features of the texts and identify the metafunctions of the texts which is beneficial as the departure for critical reading.Keywords: students’ metafunction competence, critical reading.

As a result, it was found that students’ inhibitions in speaking skill were influenced by internal (low cognitive aspects, and psychological aspects) and external factors (teacher’s role in speaking classroom, classroom atmosphere, and English as foreign language). In order to reduce the inhibitions, the teacher should speak more slowly, create a friendly atmosphere, improve speaking practices, and give appropriate feedback, while the students can explore vocabulary, and ask to a friend whose speaking is better. It is suggested for further researchers to investigate other inhibitions of students speaking skill and the solutions or conduct similar research with different framework.

According to the findings, the experimental group's average post-test score was 83.29, whereas the control group's was 78.57. The independent sample t-test was shown to have a lower (two-tailed) significance of 0.010 (0.010 0.05). Then, in the control class, 0.010 (0.010 0.05) is shown. As a result, Ho is considered unacceptable but Ha is welcomed.

Abstract

This study, conducted at a private university in Kuningan, West Java, aimed to understand the comprehension of learners based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in Extensive Reading classes as well as to identify the reasons why some students find it challenging to understand reading based on HOTS in these classes. The three steps of the HOTS definition by Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) were analysis (C4), evaluation (C5), and creation (C6). The research is descriptive-qualitative, and the methods for gathering data include interviewing and observation. Second-semester students at a private university in Kuningan, West Java, served as the study's subjects. The observation's findings showed that the majority of second-semester students were capable of analyzing the information (Analyzing, C4), evaluating the text's main ideas (Evaluating, C5), and coming up with new ideas to use in other situations (Creating, C6), whether outside of the classroom or on other occasions. Moreover, based on the results of interviews with 10 students in the classroom, there were 5 main factors that affect the students’ reading comprehension based on HOTS which were: lack of vocabulary, lack of focus, lack of time, not having basic knowledge and not interesting in reading.
