| dc.description.abstract | The teaching strategy is general preparation before learning activities
carried out, including the learning model's structure to achieve learning targets
and an outline of the objectives for implementing learning strategies (Sarode,
2018). A teaching strategy is a plan prepared to assist students in achieving the
learning target. Teaching strategies identify learning models that allow the
development of appropriate strategies. The strategy of teaching reading is a
teacher's strategy in the teaching and learning process whose goal is that students
have good interests and abilities in reading. Käsper et al., (2018) claimed that
reading is one of the most important factors because understanding the content of
a text will increase students' motivation to learn. The teacher needs to apply
several teaching strategies in the reading class to find the most suitable strategy
for the students being taught. The focus of this study is to find out how the teacher's strategy is to
resolve reading problems in students by using an appropriate strategy. Therefore,
solving reading problems can meet the primary target and increase students'
reading interest. This research was conducted in a senior high school in Jember
using a case study research design. This research design was chosen because the
aim is to intensively understand how English teachers help their students resolve
their reading problems at school. There was one English teacher who participated
in this study and data was collected through observation field notes and a semistructured
interview process. The researchers observed how teachers and students
perform during teaching and learning activities. From the beginning of the
learning session, the main activities to the closing. Then, the researcher
interviewed by preparing nine questions to ask the teacher to complete the required data. The data collected consists of 2 aspects: teachers' teaching
strategies in solving students' and students' reading problems.
To analyze the data, I use thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006). From
the results of the analysis carried out, six themes were found. In determining the
theme, inductive coding has been applied. The first theme is problems
identification. I identified the first theme through the sub-themes of questioning
and dissect students' reading problems. The second theme that I found was
deepening understanding which was identified from the sub-themes of material
emphasis and discussing the material. And the last theme is implementation of
teaching strategies which was identified from the sub-themes of repeated reading,
explaining, providing guidance, and mixing strategies. The results of this study indicate that several strategies teachers applied in
learning through the data collection using observation field notes and semistructured
interview. All strategy applications found in this research significantly
influence the teaching and learning process. Therefore, from the results of this
study, the researcher can conclude that using strategies in teaching reading
comprehension is very important. Teachers can carry out their teaching activities
better and be better organized if they apply strategies in the teaching and learning
process. Additionally, students can also learn how to improve themselves through
the use of appropriate strategies in class. Second, these teachers commonly use
strategies such as vocabulary development, reading aloud, skimming, scanning,
and concluding. Apart from that, these teachers also consider these five strategies
beneficial in the teaching and learning process in reading. Teachers must also use
different strategies to create a comfortable learning environment for students. | en_US |
