Abstract

This study aims to examine students' perceptions of reading activities in the English Club at SMA N 1 Waway Karya. Reading is an essential skill in English language learning, yet many students still struggle to develop adequate reading comprehension within classroom settings. To address this, extracurricular activities such as English Clubs are seen as potential avenues to enhance reading skills in a more engaging environment.

A quantitative method was used in this study. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to students who actively participated in the English Club. The questionnaire consisted of closed-ended items designed to measure students' perceptions across several aspects, including motivation, interest, material relevance, and perceived improvement in reading skills. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the overall perception trend.

The findings show that students have a generally positive perception of reading activities conducted through the English Club. Most students agreed that the club increased their interest in reading English texts, improved their vocabulary, and helped them understand reading materials more easily. These results suggest that well-managed extracurricular programs can significantly contribute to improving students’ English reading competence outside the classroom.
