The use of animated video to improve students’ reading comprehension
Keywords:
Animated movie, Reading Comprehension, Classroom Action ResearchAbstract
Reading comprehension is an important skill in English learning, yet many students still struggle to comprehend narrative texts. This study aims to improve students' reading comprehension through the use of animated videos as a learning medium. This study was conducted through classroom action research (CAR) consisting of two cycles, each with two meetings. The subjects were eighth-grade junior high school students, and data were collected through observations and reading comprehension tests. The results showed significant improvement after implementing the animated videos. Students' average scores increased from 75.41 (66.66% completion) in the first cycle to 90.83 (91.66% completion) in the second cycle. Students were also more active and enthusiastic during the learning activities. These findings indicate that animated videos are effective in improving students' reading comprehension. Furthermore, this implies that teachers can use animated videos to improve learning outcomes, schools should integrate technology-based media into English learning, and other researchers can expand this research into other contexts.
