---

The purpose of this study was to understand students' perceptions about
the potential and benefits of improving the Extending Concept Through Language
Activities (ECOLA) method as a tool for improving students' reading
comprehension skills. This study is limited to understanding the level of reading.
had two objectives. This study used a descriptive-qualitative research design. The
subjects of this study are 19 students of the 10th grade at the Vocational High
School of SMK Islam Gondanglegi. Data collection was carried out through a
questionnaire based on a likert scale and an interview. In collecting data,
questionnaires were made to collect information on respondents‘ perceptions of
the ECOLA method and its impact on their reading comprehension skills, while
interviews were made to obtain further information regarding students perceptions
about using the ECOLA method.
Based on the analysis of the results, the researcher concluded that the
ECOLA method generally has positive acceptance for improving reading
comprehension skills. This is evident from the results of the questionnaire, which
show the high motivation and enthusiasm of the participants. 65% of respondents
agreed that this method had improved their reading comprehension skills.
Additionally, 80% of respondents agreed that ECOLA helped them understand
reading material better. Likewise, in interviews, participants expressed
appreciation and satisfaction with ECOLA's approach, which includes interactive
discussions and enhanced learning experiences. While there are some challenges
mentioned, such as the potential uneven participation within the group, managing
diverse perspectives within a group, and limitation in the volume of the reading
materials used in conjunction with the ECOLA method. Overall, this suggests that
the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
While the ECOLA method offers notable benefits in enhancing students'
reading comprehension skills through collaborative discussions, it is essential to
address the identified limitations. Uneven participation, potential conflicts of
opinion, and challenges related to the complexity of reading are aspects that
educators should carefully consider and address when implementing the ECOLA
method in the classroom. Future research could delve into the specific factors
influencing students' perceptions, such as individual learning styles, prior
academic experiences, or cultural backgrounds. Understanding these factors could
help tailor the implementation of ECOLA to better suit diverse student
populations.
