Abstract

Karida, Rahma. 2025.Comparison Of Using Auiovisual Media And Textbook Media In Improving Students’ Reading Comprehension. Skripsi, English Education Department, Faculty of Language and Arts Education, IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, Advisor (1) Fitri Nurdianingsih, M.Pd., (II) Dr. Refi Ranto Rozak, M.Pd. Keywords: audiovisual media, textbook, reading comprehension, experimental study, secondary education. This study examines the effectiveness of audiovisual media compared to traditional textbook-based instruction in enhancing students’ reading comprehension skills. The primary objective of this research is to determine whether audiovisual media leads to a more significant improvement in understanding English texts. A quantitative experimental design was employed, involving 57 eighth-grade students at SMP Ar-Rahmat, who were evenly divided into two groups: a control group (using textbooks) and an experimental group (using audiovisual media). Both groups were administered a pre-test and a post-test to measure their progress in reading comprehension. The results revealed that the group using audiovisual media showed a notable improvement, achieving a post-test score of 87.50%, while the textbook group obtained a score of 80.67%. This difference in post-test scores indicates that audiovisual media is more effective in enhancing students’ reading comprehension. Furthermore, the use of audiovisual materials also increased student engagement and motivation throughout the learning process. These findings suggest that audiovisual media can serve as a more effective and engaging instructional tool compared to traditional textbooks, particularly in improving reading comprehension skills among junior high school students.
