| description | Reading culture enables people to learn, grow, strive for personal betterment, and pursue innovative goals. The school library has a significant impact on its users' love of reading and serves as a source of inspiration. This study sought to understand how the secondary school section's pupils could develop a reading culture through the use of the school library. The goals were to research how secondary school students use the school library to establish their reading habits and how English language teachers can help students develop their reading habits. The network diagram of the variables' conceptual framework served as the study's compass. The research used a descriptive survey methodology. Conveniently, a school was chosen. In addition, 25 English teachers from the school were identified in order to collect information about how they help pupils develop good reading habits. A total of 80 students from secondary schools were employed in the sample, including 80 students chosen using purposive sampling in the Secondary Section. Both open-ended and closed-ended questionnaires were used to obtain the data. It was determined that students used the library to do their projects, do research, and take notes, but they also visited the library at a distinct time slot once a week when they could read and write reviews. English language teachers had a variety of responsibilities, such as encouraging pupils to read; proposing books to librarians from various genres, and helping students create in-class libraries. The conclusion is that because of their exam-focused curriculum, kids don't have enough time for leisure reading. As a result, schools should add more library time to their class schedules to encourage students to develop a reading habit. |
