Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze students’ difficulties in comprehending stated and unstated details in reading descriptive texts among tenth graders at SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Metro. The study aims to identify specific challenges students face in understanding both explicit and implicit information within descriptive passages.

This study employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through student assignment documentation, classroom observation, and interviews involving ten participants. The findings indicate that although many students were able to comprehend explicitly stated information, they experienced significant challenges in understanding unstated details. These difficulties were largely caused by limited vocabulary, underdeveloped inferential reading skills, and a tendency to rely on superficial strategies such as keyword matching. As a result, these factors hindered students’ overall reading comprehension, especially in interpreting implied information within descriptive texts.

Keywords: Inferential Reading Skills, Reading Descriptive Texts Students’ Difficulties, Stated and Unstated Details, , Vocabulary Knowledge.
