Most of students currently prefer to read comic books more and more, especially Manga from Japan. From this behavior of those students, it makes teachers interest to use comic books for teaching seriously. I chose this news because I think this is a good way to encourage and stimulate those students turn to interest in studying English.
This news mentioned to Western comic patterns which most of them would be formed in pocket-book size or A4 page size. Comics which are useful to improve reading and vocabulary that are Super Heroes comics. On the other hand, comics such as Dracula or Frankenstein are useful as the story lines, they can also help to improve and develop reading, writing and speaking of those students. Regarding the reading, long stories or short stories can be used in different purpose. The long stories can be useful for extensive reading and short stories can be useful in presenting vocabulary. For writing, students can use the pattern of the original ideas from some famous writers but add their own ideas or how the story going. For Speaking, when students read and understand a story, they can be requested to act out the dialogue as a radio play by adding life to it through their action.
I agree with this news as I think at present many teenagers prefer to read comics instead of reading academic books. This is a good idea to use comic books as one of medias to teach them English. This would makes students have fun in learning English and also attracts some students who do not like to learn English can improve their language skills.
