C. Conceptual Framework

The research’s conceptual framework was formed based on the theoretical reviews and the theories of the research. The research took place in SMP Negeri 1 Pandak Bantul Yogyakarta, particularly in class VIII G because the students had low ability in writing narrative texts. To improve the students’ ability in writing narrative texts, the researcher used Comic Strips. Comic Strips are useful to increase the students’ ability to write narrative texts because by using comic strips, it is easier for the students to get the idea of what they want to write. Comic Strips provide dialogues in the bubbles which represent what the characters say. It means that by using Comic Strips, it is easy for the students to know what is actually told in the story. Using Comic Strips also makes the students get the idea of that they are going to write easily.
