Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' reading comprehension ability at MAS Al-Hakimiyah Paringgonan, specifically in understanding explanation texts. Reading comprehension is a crucial skill in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) as it helps students interpret and critically analyze texts. However, many students struggle with understanding explanation texts due to linguistic complexity, limited vocabulary, and ineffective reading strategies.This research employed a quantitative method with a survey design. The population of this study consisted of all grade XI IPA students at MAS Al-Hakimiyah Paringgonan, with a total sample of 36 students selected through cluster random sampling. The research instrument was a multiple-choice reading comprehension test consisting of 20 questions. The findings revealed that students' reading comprehension ability was in the moderate category, with an average score of 61.45. Most students faced difficulties in identifying main ideas, interpreting implicit information, and understanding vocabulary in the context of explanation texts. After analyzing the data, it was found that students' reading comprehension can be improved through vocabulary enhancement, the implementation of explicit reading strategies, and the use of more engaging and contextual reading materials. Additionally, motivation and metacognitive awareness play a crucial role in enhancing students’ reading skills. Thus, this study provides insights for educators in designing more effective teaching strategies to improve students' reading comprehension in EFL learning.
