Teaching techniques employed by the lecturers to teach reading comprehension across the departments / Dadang Zakaria

Abstrak
Reading comprehension is crucial for language acquisition and learning as it enables access to information across all academic subjects. To help students become proficient readers lecturers in reading classrooms employ various techniques. However previous research has primarily focused on how these techniques impact students comprehension rather than how lecturers select and implement them. The study aims to fill the existing literature gap by exploring the methods lecturers employ to choose particular techniques for teaching reading comprehension and to determine the factors that impact their decision-making process. Moreover the study examines how lecturers implement these techniques to enhance students reading abilities in their classrooms. The researcher utilized qualitative research methods such as online surveys semi-structured interviews and observations to collect data. The study involved 10 ESP lecturers of the Language Center at Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang who teach reading comprehension to students from non-English departments. According to the findings lecturers employ a two-stage process when selecting teaching techniques. In the first stage they determine a set of techniques for the entire semester. After implementing these techniques they evaluate their effectiveness. If successful they continue using them otherwise they modify or replace them based on evaluation results and student needs. Student English proficiency is the primary factor when selecting teaching techniques followed by their majors (department). Age behavior attitude classroom setting and course topics also influence technique selection. The study also revealed that time management poses a significant challenge for lecturers particularly in the post-teaching stage. Effective time management during this stage is critical to achieving learning objectives yet half of the participants could not complete post-teaching due to time constraints. The study results hold significance for various stakeholders including curriculum developers lecturers instructing non-English majors and future researchers. Lecturers can utilize the information to select appropriate teaching techniques based on the study s identified factors. Curriculum developers can tailor a curriculum that fulfills the institution s requirements while catering to the student s needs. Moreover future researchers could examine the techniques employed in other language classrooms such as speaking listening or writing and delve into lecturers time management practices in teaching. These outcomes can contribute to refining language teaching practices and curriculum development for better student outcomes facilitating efficient time use and promoting pedagogical growth.
