Topic: Improving Grade-7 Students’ Reading Comprehension Through the
Integration of BookTok as an Instructional Material in an English Class
Research Problems:
1. What is the level of reading comprehension of Grade-7 students?
2. What is the level of awareness of Grade-7 students in BookTok?
3. What is the effect of the integration of BookTok as an instructional
material to the level of reading comprehension of Grade-7 students?
Method
A. Research Design
The researchers will use an action research design. Action research
pertains to a study that aims to provide a solution or an intervention to an
existing problem. Moreover, the researchers will use a mixed method,
quantitative and qualitative method, to ensure the validity of the data
being gathered. The quantitative method includes the use of survey with
close-ended questions and the standardized reading comprehension
assessment tool to be administered to the respondents at the end of the
intervention program. The qualitative method covers the second part of
the survey which is open-ended questions.
B. Population
The population of the study consists of Grade-7 students from Section A.
C. Instrument
The researchers will use a survey with close-ended and open-ended
questions and a standardized reading comprehension assessment. The
survey will be administered to the respondents. It contains questions
about the factors that cause students’ difficulty in reading comprehension
and the strategies they apply to overcome it. BookTok will be integrated in
the class discussion as an instructional material. The BookTok videos
include visually appealing, engaging, interesting and comprehensible
discussion of a literary work. Afterwards, a standardized reading
comprehension test will be administered to the students to assess their
understanding of the text

Grade-7 students’ reading comprehension in terms of test scores?
3. How effective is the integration of BookTok as an instructional material
in improving Grade-7 students’ reading comprehension?
Methodology
A. Research design
The researchers will use an experimental research design.
B. Population
The population of the study consists of Grade-7-A students from the
Laboratory High School of DMMMSU-MLUC.
C. Instrument
The researchers will create 3 BookTok content videos that will be
used as an instructional material in the class. These videos are
about the literary work being discussed. Afterwards, a standardized
test will be administered to the participants of the study to assess
