DEVELOPING TEXT COMPREHENSION SKILLS THROUGH CREATING COMICS IN ENGLISH

Abstract

The article examines the use of comic creation in teaching English as an innovative method aimed at developing students’ text comprehension skills. The process of creating comics allows students to visually reconstruct information from the text, contributing to a deeper understanding of the material read. The study demonstrates that identifying the main idea, narrating the sequence of events, and describing the actions of characters help develop students’ analytical and creative thinking skills. Additionally, creating comics facilitates the appropriate use of language units, expands vocabulary, and improves writing skills. The interactive nature of the method increases students’ engagement in lessons and positively influences their ability to communicate freely in a foreign language. The research results highlight the potential of using comics as an effective pedagogical tool in English language lessons.
