Abstract

Reading comprehension is an essential skill in English learning at the secondary school level because it supports students' ability to understand, analyze, and evaluate information contained in texts. Textbooks, as the primary learning resource, play a crucial role in shaping the quality of reading learning. This study aims to analyze English learning materials in textbooks and their contribution to the development of secondary school students' reading comprehension skills. This study used a qualitative approach with a literature study method through content analysis of relevant scientific articles published in the 2021–2025 period. The results showed that the reading materials in textbooks generally met curriculum requirements, had an adequate level of readability, and provided a variety of text types and exercises that supported the development of basic reading skills, such as identifying main ideas, understanding vocabulary, and finding detailed information. The main findings of this study revealed that most reading activities still focused on literal comprehension, so the development of inferential, evaluative, and critical thinking skills was not optimally accommodated. Some reading materials were still not contextualized to students' experiences and environments. This study contributes by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of reading materials in English textbooks and emphasizes the importance of integrating Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-based activities, the use of authentic texts, and more relevant contexts to improve the quality of reading instruction in secondary schools. These findings can serve as a reference for teachers, textbook developers, and curriculum designers in developing more effective reading instructional materials that meet the demands of 21st-century learning.

Abstract

A film poster is a visual communication medium that not only functions as a promotional tool but also as a sign system containing various cultural and ideological meanings. This study aims to analyze the meaning contained in the Wicked film poster using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach through three levels of meaning: denotation, connotation, and myth. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with documentation techniques on one object, namely the official Wicked film poster. Analysis was carried out on visual elements such as characters, colors, lighting, composition, background, typography, and slogans on the poster. The results show that at the denotation level, the poster displays two main characters with contrasting visual characteristics, a yellow road leading to the castle, and a strong fantasy nuance. At the connotation level, this visual contrast represents moral conflict, identity struggles, hope, and the process of character transformation. Meanwhile, at the myth level, the poster constructs an ideology about the dichotomy between good and evil, transformation as a path to redemption, fantasy as an emotional escape, and Western cultural constructions that associate beauty with goodness and physical differences with moral deviance. This study shows that film posters not only convey information about a film but also reproduce social and cultural values ​​that exist in public spaces through a visual sign system. Thus, Roland Barthes's semiotics provides an effective analytical framework for uncovering the explicit and implicit meanings hidden in contemporary visual media.
