Abstract

According to English language teaching (ELT) practices and implementations, the problem-solving approach that puts students at the center of learning should serve as the foundation for the teaching and learning processes. As a result, it was determined that the principles and methods of communicative language teaching should serve as the foundation for English language instruction in higher education. Additionally, it was asserted that employing communicative language teaching methods will raise students' level of English language competency. Consequently, the goal of this methodically examined literature was to evaluate the methods and applications of English language instruction in the system of higher education. The investigator collected previously published works from the Scopus database. He reviewed articles published between the years 2016 and 2024. The researcher carried out six steps to direct the review: a systematic literature review utilizing the PRISMA approach (Mihret et al., 2024). The researcher kept 24 papers out of 139 that were carefully examined. Key words employed by the researcher were English language teaching and teaching, as well as higher education. The items could be retrieved on May 28, 2024. The final papers were used by the researcher instead of articles that were being considered for publishing in press, and the language used to publish those articles was English. The social sciences and the arts and humanities were the subject areas he employed most frequently. The results showed that in practices and implementations of English language teaching in higher education system, some problems such as, learner-related factors, teacher- related factors, socio-cultural influences, time and physical constraints, and shortage of materials are occurred.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a critical skill that forms the foundation for academic success and lifelong learning. However, many students face difficulties in understanding written texts, which negatively impacts their academic performance and overall literacy development. In Ethiopian secondary schools, poor reading comprehension has become a major concern, yet limited research has investigated the underlying causes and potential solutions within the local context. This study examines the extent and causes of students' reading comprehension difficulties and proposes actionable interventions. Employing a mixed-method research design, the study utilized a stratified random sampling technique to ensure the representation of diverse student subgroups. A total of 105 participants were selected from a population of 145. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire with closed-ended questions, providing quantitative insights into the severity and nature of the problem. The findings reveal that students' reading comprehension challenges stem from inadequate teaching strategies, a lack of reading materials, and low motivation. The study identifies a significant gap in the existing literature regarding localized solutions to reading comprehension difficulties in Ethiopian secondary schools. Based on the findings, targeted recommendations are proposed, including the adoption of interactive teaching methodologies, enhanced access to reading resources, and teacher training programs aimed at improving pedagogical skills. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on reading comprehension and offers practical strategies for educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders to enhance student's literacy skills and overall academic performance
