Acknowledging the importance of reading as a core skill, this study explored the development and factors influencing the reading abilities of fifth-semester students in English Language Education Department at the State Islamic University of Antasari Banjarmasin. It emphasizes the crucial role of reading English journals for university students, highlighting how it refines skills necessary for academic and professional success. This includes improving critical thinking, exposing students to diverse perspectives, and establishing a strong foundation for future studies and research careers. This study enlisted fifth-semester students, with 21 participants completing questionnaires and 9 individuals participating in interviews. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the study used questionnaires and interviews. The results demonstrate a significant level of reading development, with 33.3% of students rated as "Very Good" and 66.7% as "Good." Those at the "Very Good" level exhibit strong comprehension skills and enthusiasm for further exploration, while the "Good" students also demonstrate competence albeit facing occasional challenges. Their reading development is influenced by factors including linguistic competence, interest, motivation, reading ability, and reading environment. The students struggle with difficult words and sentences in academic journals but are motivated by their interest in the topic and its relevance to their studies. They use strategies like skimming and discussing with classmates to help them understand better. Having supportive peers and teachers also plays a significant role in their progress. These findings underscore the importance of these factors in enhancing students' proficiency with English journals
