Abstract
This study investigated the impact of reading motivation, dictation, vocabulary, and socioeconomic position on students’ reading comprehension. The study employed quantitative research methodology and conducted reflective measurements during four sessions with tenth-grade students from SMA Yadika Bandar Lampung. To assess these variables, data were gathered via multiple-choice examinations, questionnaires, and dictation tests. For reading comprehension, the study found a robust, affirmative correlation between decoding and vocabulary. Significant p-values of 0.000 were observed for relationships between decoding and English reading comprehension (DEC->ERC ), decoding and vocabulary (DEC -> VOC), vocabulary and reading comprehension (VOC->ERC), and the combined effects of dictation and vocabulary on English reading comprehension (DEC->VOC ->ERC). Both dictation abilities and vocabulary growth are crucial for enhancing reading comprehension. In contrast, the study revealed no notable connection between reading motivation or socioeconomic level and reading comprehension. Correlations between extrinsic motivation and English reading comprehension (EM->ERC), intrinsic motivation and English reading comprehension (IM->ERC), and family income and English reading comprehension (INC->ERC) were not statistically significant. This study’s findings indicated that high skills in dictation and vocabulary are crucial for reading comprehension. However, factors like reading motivation and family economic status did not have significant influence in the study. These findings underscore the importance of prioritizing vocabulary and dictation abilities to boost students’ reading comprehension.
