Main Article Content
Abstract
This study intends to identify and particularly explain the reading comprehension difficulties faced by students in MPK English classrooms. This study employs a qualitative descriptive design in order to achieve its objectives. This study’s subjects, a total of 63 students, were chosen by using probability sampling from multiple classes of MPK English classes using simple random sampling. Interviews and survey (questionnaire) methods are used to obtain the data. Unstructured interviews were conducted with 10 students who were chosen from a total of 63 participants. Questionnaires were distributed online in the form of a Google form and completed by all subjects. The collected data were analyzed using the Interactive Analysis model which consisted of several stages, namely data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusions. Based on the data analysis, it was found that of the five components of reading difficulties in reading comprehension of English texts, students found difficulties in terms of: a) finding the main idea, b) understanding vocabulary, and c) making inferences. Whereas in the other two components, namely finding references and finding specific information, there were no significant challenges.
