Abstract

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill essential for academic success. However, many international students, particularly those from non-English-speaking backgrounds, face significant challenges in understanding academic texts. This study explored the reading comprehension challenges encountered by four Asian international students from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Vietnam at an American university in New York during the Fall Semester of 2023. It explored the Problem-Solving Strategies they used to overcome these challenges. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and open-ended questionnaires. The findings revealed that linguistic factors, such as limited academic vocabulary, and non-linguistic factors, such as background knowledge, significantly affect students' reading comprehension. Despite these challenges, students frequently utilized Problem-Solving Strategies, including rereading, adjusting reading speed, and inferring meanings from context, to enhance their understanding. The study highlighted the crucial role of these strategies and suggested that targeted instruction in Problem-Solving Strategies could further support international students' academic success.

Abstract

Learning English is often challenging for junior high school students due to the limited usage of English in daily life, which can hinder their understanding of the subject matter. Learning activities are tasks undertaken by students in the learning process. Factors that can enhance learning activities include motivation provided by teachers to engage students actively in learning and the selection of appropriate and enjoyable teaching methods, one of which is the Grammar Translation Method (GTM). The challenge lies in creating effective and enjoyable learning environments, especially in teaching the simple past tense to eighth-grade students. The community service activity involving eighth-grade students was conducted on April 25, 2024, at Hidayatul Insan School. The activity aimed to strengthen simple past tense proficiency through the Grammar Target Method (GTM), covering three stages: preparation, implementation, and reporting. Implementing simple past tense using the Grammar Translation Method (GTM) for eighth-grade students at MTs Hidayatul Insan has proceeded smoothly and successfully. This is reflected in the high level of student enthusiasm during the learning process. With the implementation of this learning activity, it is hoped that the English language skills, particularly in the simple past tense topic, of eighth-grade students at MTs Hidayatul Insan will significantly improve in writing, reading, listening, and communication.
