Abstract

English language students frequently encounter challenges in comprehending recount text, and tend to lose interest when the reading material is presented without visual support. To address this issue, the study aims to develop a Comic Strip using Canva as a learning tool to teach eight-grade students how to read and comprehend recount text. The applied design was Research and Development (R&D) using ADDIE model. It involved 42 eight-grade students at SMP Budimulya as research subjects, along with two lecturers and one English teacher serving as expert validators. Instruments used to collect the data consisted of interview, observation, questionnaire and reflective journal. The results revealed that the comic strip was developed through five stages, from need analysis to evaluation. The developed product underwent a series of revisions made based on the observations from the small-scale trial. The product obtained an overall validation score of 87.15%, categorized as ‘Very Feasible’, while the student response questionnaire reached a score of 83.63%, falling within the ‘Very Positive’ category, with students showing particularly strong agreement that the visual illustration supported their comprehension of the recount text. These findings imply that comic strip developed with accessible design tools such as Canva can serve as a practical alternative learning media for supporting reading comprehension in EFL classroom contexts.

Abstract

Writing recount texts remains a challenge for senior high school students in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), due to limited ability in organizing ideas logically, inaccurate use of past tense, and inappropriate use of cohesive devices, while the available teaching materials remain conventional. This study aims to develop a Padlet-based module grounded in the Genre-Based Approach (GBA) for teaching recount text writing to tenth-grade students, examining its development process, feasibility, and students' responses to its usage. It employed a Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The participant were tenth-grade students, involving 15 students in the limited trial and 40 students in the field trial. It also included three expert validators: two supervising lecturers and one English teacher. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, questionnaire, and observation. The developed module underwent a series of revisions based on feedback from the limited trial. The findings showed that the module was rated "Very Feasible" by experts, with an average feasibility score of 87.72% covering content, language, and graphic aspects. Student responses fell within the "Very Positive" category, with an average of 81.50% in the limited trial and 83.88% in the field trial. These findings suggest that the Padlet-based module with a GBA approach can serve as a feasible and potential alternative learning medium to support recount text writing instruction in EFL classroom.
