STUDENTS’ PARAPHRASING STRATEGIES AND CHALLENGES IN A READING CLASS
Sari
Paraphrasing involves integrative skills of reading and writing, which are very
beneficial for students in developing their academic writing skill. This study investigated students strategies and challenges in paraphrasing. Data were gathered from 20 students’ paraphrasing works and a survey, which were then analyzed and described qualitatively.
The finding shows that the most frequently applied strategy in doing the task is using
synonyms, but the survey result shows that the strategy of condensing long sentences into shorter sentences is the most frequently used one. Most of the participants have limited vocabulary and access to dictionaries, besides they experience some challenges in changing the sentence pattern to make the sentences shorter without changing the meaning. The least used strategy is making abstract concepts concrete, as this strategy needs a high level of comprehension, grammar and writing skills. It is suggested that students are provided with more training to apply the strategies, proper and accurate grammar, and to use their own wordings to improve the paraphrase.
