The results of this research show that the teacher applies five strategies to teach reading comprehension during the pandemic covid-19 namely, strategy of identifying the purpose in reading, skimming the text for main ideas, scanning the text for specific information, analyzing vocabulary, and implementing L-R-D (Listen-Read-Discuss) strategy. The teacher encounters several problems in implementing the strategies because the students fail to identify the purpose of the text, face difficulty to skim the text and analyzing vocabulary. To overcome the problems, the teacher makes several efforts such as giving more exercises and texts and conducting discussions.

The goal of this study was to look at the level of questions in an English course reading for high school seniors' reading comprehension questions. Anderson's taxonomy, which was used to analyze the level of reading comprehension questions, divides thinking skills into two categories: low order thinking skills (remembering, understanding, and applying) and high order thinking skills (remembering, understanding, and applying) (analyzing, evaluating, creating).The data were gathered and then calculated into percentages and frequencies that corresponded to each level of thinking within the questions. It appears that 77% of questions emphasize low-level questions, while 23% emphasize high-level questions (high order thinking skills). Furthermore, one of the low order thinking skills, comprehension, dominates the questions in the English reading material. As a result, the reading comprehension questions in the Bahasa Inggris English reading material for senior high school grade twelfth are generally classified as low level questions. As a result, teachers must devise questions that elicit students' higher order thinking skills.","PeriodicalId":373403,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research on English Teaching and Applied Linguistics","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123244381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
