Abstract

This research is a study on students' reading ability in reading descriptive texts: a case study at MTS NWDI Terara, The research was conducted using a case study approach. The participants were 8th-grade students, consisting of 16 students (5 males and 11 females) selected through purposive sampling. The research method employed was a case study with a qualitative approach, where data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers, and reading ability tests. The results show that students' ability to read descriptive texts varied, with some students being able to comprehend detailed information, while others faced difficulties in understanding vocabulary and sentence structure. Several factors influencing students' reading ability were identified, including learning motivation, teaching methods used by the teacher, and the students' level of English comprehension. The study suggests that more interactive teaching methods and additional guidance should be provided to students who struggle with reading descriptive texts. These findings are expected to provide valuable insights for educators to improve students' reading abilities in schools. Keywords: Reading ability, descriptive text, case study, students, MTS NWDI Terara, teaching methods
