Abstract

The need for effective printed teaching materials in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) has inspired language teachers to develop strategies which integrate text and visual information. A powerful means of facilitating students’ understanding, motivation, and cultural awareness is the use of the picture book combining narrative text with illustrations. This research developed Picture Book – The History of Surabaya, a teaching material that was simplified in English with sequential picture and was based on local legend of Surabaya. Words and pictures combined serve as scaffold for students to comprehend the progression of the story, grow meaning of words, and master the moral values of the story. Picture Book- The History of Surabaya, pictorially can be applied in classroom by appealing to the students' reading aloud, sequencing, retelling, and group discussion.
