Improving English Reading Digital Text Skills for Multimedia Students through the Scaffolding Method

The reading process, especially in reading English texts, is a matter of extracting information from the text and a knowledge-sharing dialogue activity between readers and writers. Students admit that it is not easy to distinguish different texts that they must understand. In many cases, students o...

Students admit that it is not easy to distinguish different texts that they must understand. In many cases, students often have difficulty understanding the content of the text and the context due to a lack of vocabulary and grammar.

The study carried out six types of scaffolding at three reading steps using the scaffolding method to improve students' digital text reading skills, especially students of the Multimedia Engineering Technology Study Program, which mainly use the digital text. The study results show that study result scaffolding techniques highly contribute to enhance students’ reading skills. By applying the scaffolding technique, students are able to overcome the difficulties experienced by students and get scores above the passing grade, in an average of 85, which is 20 points higher before applying such scaffolding methods in the reading activity.
