Abstract

Students struggle to read English texts due to lack of motivation, difficulties in understanding complex language structures, and challenges with unfamiliar vocabulary, especially in narrative texts. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between students' reading motivation and their reading comprehension in narrative texts. This study used a correlational design. The sample consisted of 63 students of eighth grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Pekanbaru, selected using a simple random sampling technique. To collect data, the researcher used a questionnaire to assess students' reading motivation and an objective test to evaluate their reading comprehension in narrative texts. A Pearson correlation analysis showed a correlation coefficient (rxy) of 0.514, indicating a moderate positive relationship between the two variables. With a significance value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05, this correlation was found to be statistically significant. Furthermore, because the r-value (0.514) is greater than the r-table value (0.252) for 63 students at the 5% significance level, the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. These results indicate that increased students' reading motivation is related to improved reading comprehension in narrative texts.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the relationship between intrinsic motivation and reading comprehension skills of Information Systems Study Program students at Muhammadiyah Riau University. The research used a quantitative approach with a sample of 62 randomly selected students. The instruments used included an intrinsic motivation questionnaire based on the Motivation Reading Questionnaire (MRQ) and a reading ability test based on TOEFL standards. Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test and Pearson Product Moment correlation. The results showed a weak but statistically significant positive relationship (r = 0.367, p < 0.05) between intrinsic motivation and reading comprehension ability. The findings confirmed the importance of intrinsic motivation in supporting the engagement and development of reading ability, but also showed that other factors such as language skills and reading strategies play a role in comprehending technical texts. The implication of this research is the importance of developing learning strategies that integrate motivation with technical elements to improve students' reading ability holistically.
