Teacher Strategies in Teaching Reading Skills: A Case Study at SMP Negeri 1 Blitar
Keywords:
Collaborative learning, Qualitative case study , SMP Negeri 1 BlitarAbstract
Reading is a process of pronouncing written symbols, a complex receptive skill, and a profound interaction between the reader and the text. The reading ability of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Blitar is still low, as evidenced by limited vocabulary, understanding of sentence structure, and suboptimal pronunciation. This condition results in weak comprehension of English reading content and low active participation in learning activities. This study aims to describe reading lesson planning, the strategies implemented, the forms of interaction developed, and the teacher's approach to improving students' reading skills. The study used a qualitative approach with a single case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and analysis of learning documents, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The results showed that teachers routinely design teaching materials in the form of ATP, modules, LKPD, and visual media. Strategies such as Think-Pair-Share, Jigsaw, Roundtable, and Read-Aloud have been proven effective in improving vocabulary mastery, pronunciation, text comprehension, and student confidence. This study concluded that interactive and structured strategies can improve reading skills and contribute positively to the quality of English language learning.
