This research uses quantitative and qualitative methods which carried out through research and development approaches. The activities carried out in this study involve two steps; the data was collected with an inventory of academic procrastination criteria and student academic procrastination scales. The quantitative data were analyzed by applying descriptive statistical techniques and inferential statistical techniques by ttest. Qualitative data were analyzed by applying qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. The results showed that the development of digital comic media was empirically proven effective in overcoming students' academic procrastination. This is supported by the increasing of students' awareness in overcoming academic procrastination in the experimental class included in the high category with a gain score of 0.70. Based on these results it can be seen that the digital comic produced is feasible and effectively used as a media for guidance and counseling services in schools.

“…Для многих исследователей очевидны преимущества использования комиксов в классе, независимо от учебной дисциплины. Наиболее важными считаются: повышение мотивации учащихся (Crawford, 2004), более высокая доступность к пониманию материала (Hosler & Boomer, 2011), развитие воображения учащихся (Rozkosz & Wiorogórska, 2016), активное вовлечение учащихся в учебный процесс (Dalacosta, Kamariotaki-Paparrigopoulou, Palyvos, & Spyrellis, 2009), игровой компонент (Assad, 2017), развитие навыков чтения, письма, говорения, аудирования (Ranker, 2008;Short& Reeves, 2009;Vassilikopoulou, Retalis, Nezi, & Boloudakis, 2011) и другие.…”

The paper claims comics to be efficient multimodal tools in teaching students of English not only grammar and vocabulary but also some communication skills, social and language norms of conducting a conversation. Being entertaining and having the multimodal potential that results in a strong effect on the recipients’ responsiveness, comics highly motivate students to integrate in education process and make learning fun for teachers and children alike.The authors aim at presenting an algorithm of teaching English and conversation skills by means of comics design teaching passing through the following stages: introducing the communicative situation, learning cultural data (linguistic and extralinguistic) and a conversation pattern (social rules for opening, developing and closing a conversation), imitating the conversation, working with grammar patterns and speech clichés, reproducing the conversation following the pictures, and, finally, acting it out. Comics vividly demonstrate facial expressions and gestures of the characters that are crucial in communicating certain ideas in a multisemiotic way either accompanying speech or performing on their own.The authors present the results of the experimental teaching to nine/ ten-year old children in a secondary school in Russia which prove comics to be functional, well-structured tools for acquiring grammar, lexis and communication skills by young learners of English.
