Abstract

Limited facilities require teachers to adopt adaptive teaching strategies. This research describes students’ perceptions of English teachers’ strategies and examines their relationship with reading skills at Madrasah Aliyah Muhammadiyah Toaya, a school without a library or adequate reading materials. This quantitative correlational study involved all 25 eleventh-grade students and used a 15-item perception questionnaire, a 10-item reading test, and Spearman Rank correlation. Perceptions were moderate (M = 2.69), and reading skills were low (M = 32.00).  Perceptions were not significantly associated with reading achievement (rs = −0.171; p = 0.414; 95% CI [−0.53, 0.24]). Teacher strategies may need to be accompanied by adequate reading materials and sustained reading practice.
