Abstract

This study aims to improve the reading comprehension skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Nurul Hasaniah, Percut Sei Tuan by using the Webtoon application as a learning medium. The study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) following the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which consists of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages across two cycles. The research instruments included reading comprehension tests, observation sheets, field notes, documentation, and brief interviews. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ reading comprehension. The average score increased from 56.8 in the pre-cycle to 71.2 in Cycle I, and to 83.4 in Cycle II. The percentage of students achieving the Minimum Mastery Criterion (≥ 70) rose from 24% to 68% in Cycle I, and reached 92% in Cycle II. The use of Webtoon also enhanced students’ motivation, engagement, and enthusiasm during reading activities. Its multimodal features—visuals, dialogues, and narrative structure—effectively supported students’ understanding of context, vocabulary, and storyline. Therefore, Webtoon can be considered an effective alternative digital learning medium for improving junior high school students’ reading comprehension.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines the integration of Canva as a digital learning tool to enhance English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ recount writing skills at the junior high school level. The study was conducted at SMP Shafiyyatul Amaliyyah and involved 30 seventh-grade students engaged in Canva-based writing projects. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, documentation of students’ written products, and open-ended questionnaires. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Canva fostered higher student engagement, improved organization of recount texts, stimulated creative expression, and enhanced learners’ confidence in writing English. Although challenges such as limited internet access and vocabulary constraints were observed, Canva proved to be an effective pedagogical tool when supported by appropriate instructional scaffolding. This study contributes to EFL writing pedagogy by providing qualitative evidence on the role of digital multimodal tools in genre-based writing instruction.
