Abstract

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill that enables students to extract meaning from Reading comprehension is a crucial skill that enables students to extract meaning from texts, supporting their academic success, professional growth, and cognitive development. This qualitative study explores the reading comprehension strategies of eighth-grade students at Al-Khoir Islamic Boarding School in Padang Lawas, with data collected from 22 students through questionnaires and structured interviews. The results reveal that skimming and scanning are the dominant techniques, with skimming being the most frequently used method. About 50% of participants expressed that these strategies were effective due to their simplicity and speed in aiding text comprehension, with skimming receiving the highest score among the four strategies assessed. While these strategies allow for efficient reading, the study suggests that students engage less with more comprehensive techniques like intensive and extensive reading, which are essential for fostering deeper comprehension and critical thinking skills. This preference for skimming and scanning may be influenced by the boarding school’s structured environment, which creates time pressures, as well as the students' language proficiency, which may limit their ability to engage with more complex texts. The findings emphasize the need for instructional strategies that promote a balanced approach, integrating both surface-level and in-depth reading techniques to enhance overall language proficiency.

Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between students' interest in listening to English songs and their listening skills among 5th-semester students at the University of Pasir Pengaraian. Employing a quantitative correlational research design, data were collected from 25 students through questionnaires assessing their interest in English songs and a listening test measuring their comprehension skills. The findings revealed a weak positive correlation (r = 0.131) between students' interest in listening to English songs and their listening skills. This suggests that while students who enjoy listening to English songs may demonstrate slightly better listening abilities, the relationship is not statistically significant. The results indicate that listening skills are influenced by multiple factors beyond interest in songs. While integrating music into learning may create an engaging atmosphere, it should not be solely relied upon for improving listening skills. The study suggests incorporating structured listening exercises and interactive methods alongside music to enhance students’ comprehension.

Abstract

This study investigate the Drama is as an effective pedagogical approach in English Language Teaching (ELT) due to its potential to promote communicative competence, learner engagement, and expressive skills. However, the use of classical English drama, particularly nineteenth-century texts, may pose significant challenges for EFL learners. This study aims to analyze the linguistic and performance-related difficulties experienced by 23 fifth-semester students of the English Education Study Program at Universitas Pasir Pengaraian in performing Under the Gaslight by Augustine Daly. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation during rehearsal and performance sessions. The findings reveal that students encountered major difficulties involving both language and performance demands, including archaic vocabulary, complex sentence structures, pronunciation problems, stage fright, limited voice projection, inadequate body movement, and weak emotional delivery. These challenges were closely interconnected, with language barriers contributing to psychological anxiety and subsequently affecting overall performance quality. The study concludes that while drama remains a valuable instructional tool in ELT, the use of classical drama requires careful pedagogical mediation, including linguistic scaffolding, cultural contextualization, and systematic performance training. The findings are expected to contribute to the improvement of drama instruction, text selection, and teaching strategies in English teacher education programs, particularly in equipping prospective English teachers with the competence to implement drama-based learning effectively in future classrooms Keywords: Students’ Difficulties, Drama, Performance
