This mixed-method study investigates the challenges encountered by eleventh-grade students in reading English texts and the strategies they employ to overcome them at SMA Negeri 1 Indralaya Utara. A total of 71 students from classes XI.1 and XI.4 participated in a reading comprehension test, a 27-item Likert-scale questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews with three students of varying proficiency levels. The test results revealed that students struggled most with sentence structure (28) and vocabulary (26), followed by discourse interpretation and text comprehension (23 each). Similarly, questionnaire data confirmed these findings, with the highest reported difficulty in vocabulary (73.94) and sentence complexity (70.99). Moreover, interview analysis further emphasized these difficulties and highlighted emotional factors such as anxiety and lack of confidence. In response to these challenges, students employed a variety of individual strategies-including using dictionaries (85.92), guessing meaning from context (82.25), and summarizing paragraphs (75.21)-as well as external supports such as group discussions and teacher feedback. Furthermore, thematic analysis of interview data reinforced the role of both personal and contextual strategies in enhancing reading comprehension. Overall, these findings suggest that integrating cognitive, metacognitive, and affective strategies into classroom instruction, along with strong teacher and peer support, can significantly help students improve their English reading skills.
