Abstract

Reading comprehension is a critical skill for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, especially in Indonesia, where English is a compulsory subject in junior high schools. However, many students struggle with understanding texts due to limited vocabulary, lack of exposure to authentic English, and conventional teaching methods that rely heavily on textbooks. This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating BBC Learning English videos, combined with the PQ4R (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review) strategy, to enhance reading comprehension among seventh-grade students at SMPN 1 Sukahaji, Majalengka. Employing a quasi-experimental design, 30 students were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received video-based instruction, while the control group used conventional text-based methods. Data were collected using a 30-item multiple-choice reading comprehension test and analyzed with descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk test, Levene’s test, and Independent samples t-test. The results show a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group’s reading comprehension scores (p = 0.001), indicating that BBC Learning English videos, when systematically integrated with reading strategies, can enhance students’ understanding, motivation, and engagement. This research contributes to the growing evidence supporting the use of multimedia in EFL classrooms and offers practical recommendations for educators and policymakers.

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the factors affecting the low use of English in the internal communication forum of the English Education Student Association of Universitas Majalengka members. This research has the problem of the lack of use of English in internal communication among English Education Student Association of Universitas Majalengka members as its background. Although they are the leading pioneers in the organization of language study programs, their communication still needs to improve in English, and Indonesian is more dominant in their use. This research uses qualitative methods, a case study approach with observation instruments, and semi-structured interviews. The researcher found that members of the English language association still do not use English in communication and discussion forums due to several factors, such as lack of vocabulary, confidence, worry about being wrong, and more comfortable discussing in Indonesian. Even so, the researcher suggested that association members use English more in their discussion forums to become the first step towards being good role models in their study program environment.
