Abstract

This research aimed to investigate 1) Thai EFL learners’ attitudes to using a comic strip task to facilitate narrative writing, 2) their reflections on this task, and 3) problems facing them in narrative writing. The participants were 45 second-year English major students. The instruments were a comic strip task and questionnaires. The results showed that 1) the students agreed with the application of this task in narrative writing class, 2) they reflected many benefits of this task to their narrative writing skills, English language skills, 21^st century skills, and attitudes to learning English, and 3) although this task helped ease their narrative writing, they were still faced with considerable difficulty with English writing skills.
