The aim of this study is to shed light on the nature of comic strips - an ignored genre in English language textbooks in Turkey - and to assess the probable effect of using comics as reading materials on Turkish intermediate EFL learners’ motivation to read. Two groups of Turkish teenage intermediate EFL learners were selected for this study. A Nelson Proficiency Test was administered in order to determine the homogeneity of the two groups. It was found that the experimental group students’ reading motivation was highly correlated with reading comics. The findings of this study may shed new light on the relationship between the kind of reading genres used in language classes and the students’ motivation to read the materials. These findings have important implications for offering new insights to material developers for the development and inclusion of enjoyable reading materials in English textbooks.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’deki İngilizce ders kitaplarında ihmal edilen bir tür olan çizgi romanların niteliğine ışık tutmak ve okuma materyali olarak çizgi roman kullanımının ortaokul seviyesinde İngilizce öğrenen Türk öğrencilerin üzerindeki muhtemel etkisini ortaya koymaktır. Bu araştırma için, ortaöğretim seviyesinde İngilizceyi yabancı dil olarak öğrenen Türk öğrencilerden iki grup seçildi. Bu iki grubun homojenliğini belirlemek için Nelson Seviye testi uygulandı. Deney grubundaki öğrencilerin okuma motivasyonlarının çizgi roman okuma ile yüksek oranda ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, dil derslerinde kullanılan okuma türleri ile öğrencilerin ders materyalını okuma konusundaki motivasyonu arasındaki ilişki üzerine yeni bir ışık tutabilir. Bu bulgular, eğlenceli okuma materyallerının geliştirilip İngilizce ders kitaplarında kullanılması için melzeme geliştiricilere yeni bir bakış açısı sunması bakımından önemli öneriler içermektedir.
