Abstract

This study aims to explain the effectiveness of using multimodal media to enhance the reading comprehension of descriptive texts among EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students. Multimodal media, which integrate text, images, audio, and video, are designed to enrich students' learning experiences and engagement. The research employed a quantitative method with a pre-experimental One Group Pretest-Posttest design, using only an experimental class without a control group. The participants were 22 eighth graders at SMP Ya BAKII 1 Kesugihan, Cilacap, in the academic year 2024/2025, selected through purposive sampling. Instruments included a reading comprehension test with 15 multiple-choice questions and 5 essay questions. Data were collected through a pre-test to assess initial comprehension, a treatment using multimodal media, and a post-test to measure improvement. Paired sample t-test analysis showed a significant increase in scores from an average of 55.41 in the pre-test to 81.32 in the post-test, with a significance value of 0.000. These findings indicate that multimodal media effectively improve students' reading comprehension and provide an engaging and interactive learning experience.
