Abstract

The use of comic strip media for children in learning English can help students' interest in learning. This study aims to investigate the implementation of comic strips as a learning medium and to find out the reasons for students' involvement in learning reading comprehension. The method used in this study was classroom action research which was carried out in two cycles. Researchers recruited four eighth-grade junior high school students aged 13-14 years to participate in this study. Each cycle in classroom action research consists of four stages, namely planning, action, observation, and reflection. Action research design and data collection through observation and interviews are used by researchers as a research design that focuses on the use of comic strips. The actions taken in each cycle are reading together, finding difficult words, understanding each sentence, understanding the topic, and retelling the comic story. The results of the study show that comic strips have a good effect on teaching reading comprehension because by using comic strips media students become active in class. There are several reasons why they are interested in being involved in learning using comic strips, namely comic strips help students learn new vocabulary in a more fun way, students can understand context and content more easily, and students are more focused and interested in learning activities.
