AN ANALYSIS OF MULTIMODAL TEXT FOR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ELEVENTH GRADERS TO TEACHING READING

Abstract

Improving students' reading ability is one of the most important prerequisites for English majors. However, some English majors are uninterested in reading English and lack the ambition to study it. Even teachers may lose motivation to teach students English. As a result, teaching English reading is ineffective. Based on this, research was done to determine the multimodality of an English book used as teaching material for eleventh graders in senior high school. Multimodality in teaching materials is essential since it can influence how students learn. The research design used by the researchers is qualitative. The data for this study came from eleventh-grade English textbooks. The instrument includes classroom observations, questionnaires, and interviews, which were conducted as data collection for this study. The findings of this study show that students' reading abilities increased greatly after utilizing multimodal text as a teaching and learning tool. This study is designed to provide insights that will bring value to English pedagogy.
