Abstract

The integral function of reading in fostering scientific literacy is crucial for enhancing pupils' reading proficiency. The utilization of English comics as an instructional medium is anticipated to have a beneficial impact on pupils due to its inherent ability to evoke feelings of happiness among readers. The objective of this study is to enhance the reading comprehension abilities of students in class XI PL SMKN 4 Medan by utilizing English comics as a medium. The present study constitutes a classroom action research that adheres to the research processes outlined in the John Elliot model. These procedures encompass preparation, action, observation, reflection, and evaluation activities. The findings indicated that the mean score for students' reading comprehension fell within the medium range, with a pre-lesson average of 62.70 (57.70%) when utilizing English comic media. Following the acquisition of reading skills and comprehension through the utilization of English entertaining media during the initial phase, there was a noticeable enhancement in the mean reading comprehension proficiency of students, reaching 70 (69.23%). However, it is important to note that this achievement still falls within the moderate range. During the second cycle, there was an observed improvement in students' reading comprehension ability, as evidenced by an increase in the average value and a percentage of 81.54 (88.46%) falling inside the very high group.

Abstract

Teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) across cultures presents unique challenges, especially when Indonesian pre-service teachers instruct Thai students who face linguistic and cultural barriers in speaking. Storytelling is recognized as an innovative strategy to enhance fluency, vocabulary, and confidence in communication. This study aims to examine the methodological strategies, barriers, and innovations applied by Indonesian pre-service teachers during the International Teaching Practice Program at Thammasat Wittaya School. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana’s (2014) framework. Findings reveal that storytelling served as the main strategy, implemented through teacher-modeled narration, group projects, multimedia aids, and culturally responsive materials. These approaches improved students’ speaking skills, increased participation, and built confidence. However, several barriers emerged, including limited vocabulary, pronunciation difficulties, passive learning preferences, and resource constraints. Teachers addressed these by scaffolding, providing motivational support, and integrating familiar cultural content to sustain engagement. In conclusion, storytelling proved effective in supporting Thai students’ speaking development while helping pre-service teachers adapt to cross-cultural teaching contexts. The study highlights the importance of innovative, student-centered strategies and intercultural competence in preparing future teachers for global classrooms.
