Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the forms and levels of reading comprehension questions found in the “Bahasa Inggris Tingkat Lanjut” textbook for eleventh-grade students. This textbook is used in elective English classes under the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia. The study used a descriptive quantitative method to classify the forms of questions using Day and Park’s (2005) framework and to identify their comprehension levels based on Barrett’s Taxonomy. This textbook contained 68 reading comprehension questions in total. The findings show that WH-questions are dominant in this textbook (56%), followed by multiple-choice (20%), true/false (15%), yes/no (6%), and alternative questions (3%). In terms of comprehension levels, 47% of the questions are at literal comprehension, 28% inferential, 13% evaluation, and 12% appreciation. No questions are found in the reorganization level. Reeves’ ideal percentage of 40% lower-level, 40% medium-level, and 20% higher-level is not achieved by the distribution of these questions. Students may face difficulty because this textbook contains more lower-level questions, lack of medium-level questions, but a little above higher-level questions. This textbook needs to provide a more evenly distributed variety of questions to help students improve their reading comprehension skills.

Abstract

This study investigates the teaching strategies used by an English teacher in an inclusive classroom and the problems encountered during their implementation at SMP Pembangunan Laboratorium UNP. Inclusive education ensures equal learning opportunities for all students regardless of abilities or backgrounds. This was a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study method. This study focused on one English teacher teaching class 8B, the most diverse class in the school. Data were collected through three classroom observations, a semi-structured interview, and supporting documentation such as field notes and photographs. The findings revealed that the teacher employed various strategies, including direct instruction, expository learning, differentiated instruction, peer tutoring, and discovery learning with mind mapping.      The choice of strategies depended on classroom conditions and student engagement levels. Despite the teacher’s adaptability, several problems emerged, such as difficulty preparing suitable materials, students’ limited comprehension of instructions, lack of inclusive education training, unexpected behaviors from students with autism, and insufficient parental support. To address these challenges, the teacher utilized self-learning, discussions with colleagues and the principal, and creative problem-solving. This study underscores the importance of teacher adaptability and institutional support in inclusive classrooms, offering insights for improving inclusive English teaching practices in junior high schools in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates the collocational errors made by English Department students at Universitas Negeri Padang in their Indonesian–English translations. Collocational competence is essential for producing natural and fluent language, especially in EFL contexts. Using a corpus-based method and descriptive quantitative design, 21 student translations were analyzed for lexical and grammatical collocation errors using AntConc, COCA, BNC, OZDIC, and the Oxford Collocations Dictionary. A total of 45 errors were identified: 22 lexical and 23 grammatical. The most frequent error type was verb + preposition, suggesting significant L1 interference and insufficient collocational instruction. Pedagogical implications include the need for explicit teaching of collocations, integration of corpus tools, and contrastive analysis between English and Indonesian. The findings support the integration of collocational awareness into translation pedagogy for improved learner fluency and accuracy.
