Abstract

English reading instruction in elementary schools often emphasizes mechanical decoding and pronunciation accuracy, while reading comprehension and reading purposes receive limited attention. This condition leads third-grade students to experience difficulties in understanding texts due to limited vocabulary knowledge and unclear reading objectives. This study aimed to develop English reading strategies that emphasize vocabulary comprehension and purposeful reading for third-grade elementary school students. The study employed a Research and Development method using the ADDIE model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. A needs analysis was conducted through classroom observations and teacher interviews to identify students’ reading difficulties. The results indicated that students’ limited vocabulary knowledge caused them to read English texts mechanically without clear reading purposes. Based on these findings, an English reading strategy module was developed with a structured instructional syntax consisting of setting explicit reading objectives, introducing vocabulary contextually, guided reading practice, comprehension checking, and gradual scaffolding toward independent reading. Expert validation results confirmed that the developed module was valid, practical, and appropriate for classroom use. A limited try-out also showed positive teacher responses and increased student engagement during reading activities. In conclusion, the developed English reading strategies effectively support vocabulary development and purposeful reading in elementary school English instruction.

Abstract

English plays a crucial role as a global language; however, students’ perceptions of its importance are shaped by their sociocultural environment. In addition to cultural habits reflected in daily community practices, students are also influenced by hearsay exposure, defined as repeated informal messages or opinions about English transmitted through family, peers, and community discourse. Previous studies have largely examined cultural or social belief factors separately, leaving limited understanding of their combined influence. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between students’ cultural habits, hearsay exposure, and their perceived importance of English at SMA Negeri 1 Lahewa. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 96 eleventh-grade students through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression. The findings revealed that both cultural habits and hearsay exposure significantly correlated with students’ perceived importance of English, both individually and simultaneously. These variables collectively explained a substantial proportion of variance in students’ perceptions. The study highlights that students’ evaluations of English are socially constructed and underscores the need for culturally responsive English teaching that addresses prevailing community narratives.
