THE PERCEPTION OF EFL STUDENTS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS’ READING HABIT THROUGH DIGITAL MANGA
Abstract
This study aims to investigate students’ perception on their development of reading habit through English-translated digital manga. This study used a survey research design to 60 students and an additional interview to 5 students. The data collection is collected through questionnaire. Around 83% of students out of 60 students believe that reading digital manga develops their reading habit. From the result of this study, most of the participants believe that English-translated digital manga is able to develop their reading habits for it helps them to allocate a certain time to have a reading activity, and also helps them spare their leisure time to have a reading activity that they like. The digital manga is also inexpensive and provides gorgeous pictures and artstyles that motivate the students to read more. Thus, this study implies that English-translated digital manga indeed contribute to the development of reading habit for EFL students.
