Voices From the EFL Literature Classroom: Students’ Attitudes Towards the Use of Multimodal Literature to Improve Their CEFR Literary Reading Competence at C1 Level

The purpose of this research was to investigate students’ attitudes towards the use of multimodal literature to develop their literary reading competence at C1 level. The participants included 10 fourth-year English major students who were enrolled in the Contemporary World Literature course at a university in Thailand in semester three, 2023. The instruments used for the study included a questionnaire and semi-structured interview questions. Mean and standard deviation calculations including content analysis were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that the students had a positive attitude towards engaging in learning experiences with multimodal literature in the literature studies class. They also reflected the students’ thoughts about studying with multimodal literature in the literature course to improve their multimodal literature applications in the EFL literature classroom.
