The Use of Comic Strips in Teaching Narrative Text through Language Management System.

This quantitative study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of comic strips to improve students’ ability in writing narrative text through language management system (LMS). To do so, the students were taught by using comic strips and their ability in writing narrative text was assesed by tests (pre-test and post-test). The result showed that the students’ achievement in writing narrative text most is improved. This is indicated in the value t-test is higher than the value of the t-table. The significant value from t-test is 3.80. This value is higher that of the t-table and indicates that using comic strips improve students’ achievement significantly. This means that the Ha is accepted and the Ho is refused. Therefore, a comic strip is affective media in improving the students’ writing ability in the aspect of idea, vocabulary, grammar and generic structure of narrative text. This finding mirrors previous research findings by Khairinur (2013), Kurnia (2015), and Ratnasari (2014).
