Abstract

Reading comprehension remains a crucial skill for EFL students, yet many junior high school learners still experience difficulties in understanding texts. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the Listen-Read-Discuss (LRD) strategy and reading interest on students’ reading comprehension achievement, as well as the interaction between both variables. A factorial design was employed involving eighth-grade students of MTsN 4 Musi Banyuasin in the 2025/2026 academic year. The sample comprised control and experimental classes, and the data were collected using a reading interest questionnaire and a reading comprehension test. Both instruments were considered valid and reliable. The data were analyzed using Two-Way ANOVA in IBM SPSS Statistics version 27. The results revealed that the teaching strategy significantly affected students’ reading comprehension, with students taught using the LRD strategy achieving higher scores than those taught using the conventional strategy. Reading interest also showed a significant effect on reading comprehension achievement. However, no significant interaction was found between teaching strategy and reading interest. These findings indicate that the LRD strategy improves students’ reading comprehension regardless of their reading interest levels and can be considered an effective alternative in EFL reading instruction.

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the translation of cultural terms in the Indonesian series Gadis Kretek, which portrays various cultural elements related to social life, traditions, and the kretek industry. Translating cultural terms in audiovisual media presents significant challenges due to cultural differences and the lack of direct equivalence between the source and target languages. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types of cultural terms and analyze the translation strategies used in the English subtitles of the series. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method. The data were collected from dialogues and their corresponding English subtitles. The analysis is based on Newmark’s (1988) cultural categories and Baker’s (2011) translation strategies. The findings reveal that several categories of cultural terms are present, including material culture, social organization, customs, activities, and cultural concepts. The results also show that various translation strategies are applied, such as translation by using a more general word, neutral/less expressive word, cultural substitution, loan word, paraphrase (related and unrelated), omission, and illustration. Notably, among the 152 cultural words found, paraphrasing using related words is the dominant strategy applied (34.21 %). Furthermore, the selection of translation strategies is contextually driven, depending on the characteristics of the cultural terms and the communicative needs of the target audience. This balanced use of strategies demonstrates the translator’s effort to preserve cultural meaning while ensuring clarity and accessibility for international viewers.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a crucial skill that supports academic achievement, yet it remains a significant challenge for many Indonesian students, particularly when engaging with complex expository texts. Prior studies have shown the effectiveness of the Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI) strategy in enhancing reading comprehension at various educational levels. However, research focusing on its application among twelfth-grade students is still limited. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of implementing the CORI strategy to improve reading comprehension among twelfth-grade students in Sumatera. This research employed a quantitative method with a true experimental design. The population was all of the twelfth-grade students. The sample was selected using convenience sampling. Two groups were involved: the experimental group taught using the CORI strategy and the control group taught using the skimming technique. The data were collected using pre-test and post-test reading comprehension assessments consisting of expository texts. The results were analyzed using paired-sample and independent-sample t-tests through SPSS 27. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in the reading comprehension scores of students taught using the CORI strategy. Moreover, there was a significant difference in post-test scores between the experimental and control groups, indicating the effectiveness of CORI compared to the skimming technique. The study concludes that the CORI strategy is effective in enhancing students’ expository reading comprehension and recommends its implementation for senior high school instruction.

Abstract

This study identifies the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represented in textbooks and analyzes how these goals are implemented in learning activities and task instructions. This study fills a gap in previous research by presenting an analysis that focuses on SDGs integrated through learning activities and task instructions in the English for Nusantara textbook for eighth grade. By shifting the focus from simply analyzing the existence of content to its pedagogical practice, this study makes a new contribution to the study of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Therefore, the results of this study are expected to enrich theoretical studies and provide practical implications as part of efforts to align English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4.7. Through this analysis, this study aims to evaluate the role of textbooks in providing a means for meaningful Sustainable Education at the secondary education level in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative research design to analyze the representation and pedagogical integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) using a qualitative content analysis approach in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks.
