Besides employing the questionnaire, an interview was also applied to explore the problem encountered by the English teachers when they administered their instructions. The survey result was analyzed using the relative frequency distribution formula, and the interview data were used to enrich the description in the discussion. Findings: The frequency of language features comprehension of reading text was 57.04 percent and distributed relatively into the Often Category. The mean score and standard deviation of the comprehension frequency were 62.07 and 19.23.
