Abstract :
Reading is rarely paid attention to by students.
They only read for academic needs. They usually find
reading literary works boring and difficult to understand
because of artistic practices. Literature classes will not be
interesting to them. As observed, they find themselves
reading as a boring task. Instead, they spend a lot of time in
front of the computer. With the fastest growing means of
information on the World Wide Web, they are becoming
more dependent on this technology. They are also very
interested in the sound and images of electronic media in
slim and attractive packages. Therefore, they consider
multimedia to be more attractive and accessible than
printed matter. Media technology is not only intended for
commercial or entertainment purposes but can also be seen
in another aspect of learning in a digital environment where
everything progresses over time. We cannot deny that the
media is saturated now. Instead of balancing the negatives,
tackle the global challenge of using technology in education
in response to the continued growth of digital learning tools.
The fact gave the researchers an idea to tackle the
importance of media text forms in improving the academic
performance of Grade 10 students at Peñaranda National
High School, particularly in Literature. Literature as a
subject is considered important because it is a springboard
to learn other subjects and be taught an international
language; mastery enables the students to be globally
competitive in the near future.
