Development of a Printed English Storybook Designed in Canva for Grade VII Students at SMP Negeri 13 Merangin: Pengembangan Buku Cerita Bahasa Inggris Cetak Berbantuan Canva untuk Siswa Kelas VII di SMP Negeri 13 Merangin

This study developed and evaluated a printed English storybook designed in Canva as supplementary material for Grade VII students at SMP Negeri 13 Merangin, Indonesia. The study used a Research and Development design guided by ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The product, entitled “Culinary and Me,” comprises three units My Favorite Food, My Favorite Snack, and Secret Recipe and integrates narrative texts, dialogues, vocabulary support, activities, reflection, and a glossary. The development involved six students in a small-group trial and 26 students in a large-group classroom trial. Three expert validators assessed content appropriateness, language, presentation, and graphics. The combined validation score was 367/402 (91.29%), reported as Very Valid. Student practicality means were 3.65 in the small-group trial and 3.70 in the large-group trial. In the large-group implementation, teacher ratings for ease of use, learning time, and attractiveness were 3.72, 3.68, and 3.73, respectively. A 20-item post-test yielded a class mean of 84.62, and 25 of 26 students (96.15%) met the stated minimum competency criterion of 75. Because the study included neither a pre-test nor a comparison group, post-test performance is interpreted descriptively rather than as evidence of causal learning improvement. The contribution is a context-specific printed supplementary resource aligned with the Grade VII culinary topic.
