Abstract
Young adult literature is authentic material that can be used with junior high school students. Nonetheless, students may find it difficult to read young adult literature as a source of information. The purpose of this research was to find out students' difficulties in reading young adult literature. The method of this study was descriptive qualitative. The sample consisted of 40 students of SMP N 1 Inderalaya Selatan. In this study, a reading test in the form of a multiple choice with 30 questions was used as an instrument. Based on data analysis, students struggled to answer questions on the main idea, supporting details, inference, cause/effect, and vocabulary. As a result, the findings of this study may be helpful to policymakers in improving the reading experience of learners.
青少年文学是适合初中生使用的真实材料。然而,学生们可能会发现很难将青少年文学作品作为信息来源来阅读。本研究的目的是找出学生阅读青少年文学的困难。本研究采用描述定性方法。样本由Inderalaya Selatan SMP N 1的40名学生组成。本研究以30道选择题形式的阅读测试为工具。在数据分析的基础上,学生们努力回答关于主要思想、支持细节、推理、因果关系和词汇的问题。因此,本研究的结果可能有助于决策者改善学习者的阅读体验。
