Abstract

This study aimed to develop a local content-based comic as narrative supplementary reading material for the eight graders in SMPN 2 Bolo. It was developed to overcome the problem in the limitation of English reading materials which contain local story of Bimanese. Moreover, there was limited access of interesting materials that lead to the difficulty of teachers to motivate the students in reading activities. Therefore, the product was expected contributing to students’ reading activity in a more joyful way either inside or outside the classroom. This study adapted the design of Research and Development proposed by Borg and Gall (1983). The procedure of this research consists of three main stages covering needs assessment, product development, and product validation. There were four experts being involved in the theoretical validation, meanwhile there were twenty two of the eight graders and an English teacher participated in the empirical validation. In the empirical validation, the comic was used as a material for teaching narrative. The classroom activities with the comic book were observed. After the teaching was conducted, the questionnaires were distributed to the students and the teacher. The English teacher was also interviewed to provide feedback related to the comic book. Based on data gathered from the empirical validation, it was found that the aspects of pictures and cover get score more than 80%, this indicates that the cover and pictures inside the comic were categoried as very high which got mostly positive feedback from the students. This means that this part got only minor revision based on the feedbacks. The other aspects including the binding and pages, plot of the story, lettering, language, text length, organization, and instruction and task get score ranged from 70-79%. This range indicates that those aspects are categorised as high positive responses. The points of the revision were based on the students feedback that was written in the comment column. It showed that the product was accepted in which it is already good to be a supplementary material for narrative reading. Based on the feedback from the empirical validation, some revisions were made to the cover and the aspect of visual and verbal inside the comic. However, there was not revision to the plot and the characterization of the characters.
