Abstract

This research aimed to explore (1) the implementation of the interactive reading model in teaching reading, (2) the supports and hindrances in implementing the interactive reading model, and (3) the students’ perceptions of this implementation. A qualitative method was employed, with participants selected through purposive sampling. The study involved one English teacher from the academic year 2023/2024 and nineteen students from SMAN 2 Sinjai, categorized by reading proficiency: six proficient readers, seven with moderate skills, and six struggling readers. Data were gathered via classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student questionnaires. Findings indicated that during pre-reading, the teacher introduced the text topic, explained text structure, and encouraged active student participation. During while-reading, emphasis was placed on pronunciation, intonation, understanding, and grammatical explanations, with students encouraged to predict and transfer information. Post-reading activities involved varied tasks. Supports included available technology (projectors and printers) and teacher experience, while challenges involved preparing engaging materials and managing afternoon classes. Hinders were large class sizes and low student participation, addressed through small group discussions, positive motivation, and suitable materials. The interactive reading model significantly boosted student enthusiasm, critical thinking, and active participation, with students showing high interest and positive attitudes towards the learning material. Overall, the implementation of the interactive reading model was found to be effective in enhancing students’ motivation, reading skills, and classroom engagement. In conclusion, the interactive reading model is a viable approach to teaching reading, demonstrating considerable benefits in terms of student engagement and skill development. However, it requires substantial preparation and adaptation to specific classroom contexts. Recommendations include further training for teachers in interactive reading techniques, the integration of more diverse and engaging materials, and continued research into the long-term impacts of interactive reading models on student learning outcomes.

This research employed a mixed method with convergent parallel design. The population of this research was the students of Madrasah Aliyah (MA) Madani Alauddin in the eleventh grade of science consist of 115 students, 53 male and 62 female. Quantitative data were analyzed using Heaton’s rating score for accuracy and fluency, descriptive statistics, and paired samples t-test via SPSS while qualitative data were analyzed through miles & Huberman’s’ qualitative analysis to identify patterns and themes related to the obstacles faced by students. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students' speaking scores, with the mean score increasing from 46.25 in the pre-test to 70.625 in the post-test. Key obstacles identified included nervousness, fear of making mistakes, lack of vocabulary, and lack of confidence. Despite cognitive improvements, persistent nervousness highlighted the need for additional emotional and psychological support. A major implication is the recommendation to shift from static to dynamic assessment methods, which focus on continuous evaluation and can reduce anxiety, fostering a more supportive learning environment. This study addresses a critical gap in the literature by providing empirical evidence of the effectiveness of the critical method and suggests future research directions, including the exploration of long-term impacts and the application of dynamic assessments across diverse educational contexts. The study concludes that integrating cognitive and emotional support strategies in language education can significantly enhance students' speaking performance and overall well-being.

Abstract

Technology-mediated language acquisition presently has several intricate issues surrounding the role of digital technologies in enhancing language learning possibilities. The present research investigated the correlation between students’ attitudes toward technology-mediated English Learning and their English achievement. The students' attitudes were assessed in terms of three components: affection, cognitive, and behavioral. Data were collected using two standards: questionnaire and document, as the students’ grade in English learning was considered their achievement. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 26 using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation. The results indicated no statistically significant correlation between students' attitudes towards technology-mediated English learning and their English achievement (p=.858). However, the results indicated that students generally have a positive attitude toward the use of technology in the English learning process in the classroom. The students' English Achievement was very good. Given the students' positive attitude with technology-mediated, it could use the capacities and strengths of technology-mediated to ensure the quality of English learning. Furthermore, Teachers could grant students the independence to utilize technology during their learning process or incorporate technology into the curriculum to enhance student engagement and motivation and foster an interactive classroom environment.
