Research and Development of the ASEAN Cartoon Lesson using the Communicative Language Teaching Approach and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Cartoon pictures help to encourage students' attention and bring joy to learning English. Cartoon lessons efficiently support students' English language achievements. This research aimed to develop the ASEAN cartoon lesson using the communicative language teaching approach (CLT) and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) for secondary school students. The ASEAN cartoon lesson was used to teach M.2 students for 22 hours. Then, interviews, a multiple choice test, questionnaires and focus group discussions were used to collect data that were analysed by content analysis, descriptive statistics, a relative gain score and a dependent sample t test. The research findings indicated that the cartoon lesson displayed very good efficiency and effectiveness. In addition, the students displayed developments in their language learning. This result will hopefully become a reference for English teachers to use to enrich students' learning.
