Abstract

Reading academic journals is essential for English department students, yet many face challenges comprehending them effectively. While numerous studies emphasize the importance of reading skills in academic success, limited research specifically addresses difficulties in reading journals among university students in rural contexts. This study aims to analyze the difficulties faced by English Department students at Universitas Pasir Pengaraian in reading academic journals. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, involving 36 students as the research population. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The findings reveal that the main difficulties include limited vocabulary, unfamiliarity with academic structures, and lack of background knowledge on the journal topics. These issues contribute to reduced comprehension and motivation. The study concludes that targeted reading strategies and academic support are essential to improve students' journal reading competence.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the internship program within the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy at the English Education Study Program of Universitas Pasir Pengaraian, specifically for eighth-semester students. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with participating students. The findings indicate that the majority of students responded positively towards the planning and execution of the internship program, as well as the support received from academic supervisors and partner institutions. Students felt that the internship tasks were relevant to their academic background and contributed to the development of communication, time management, and teamwork skills. However, some students faced challenges in adapting to workplace culture and balancing academic workload with internship responsibilities. This research recommends enhancements in pre-internship preparation, more consistent supervision, and clearer communication regarding MBKM objectives to improve future internship experiences. Thus, the internship program is expected to be more effective in preparing students to meet the increasingly complex demands of the workforce.
