A Comparative Multimodal Action Research on the Effects of Films and Podcasts on Students’ Depth of Literary Interpretation in a BlendFlex Literature Classroom

Abstract Abstract
This study presents a comparative multimodal action research examining the effects of films and podcasts on students’ depth of literary interpretation in a BlendFlex literature classroom. Grounded in multimodal and reader-response perspectives, the study explored how different instructional media such as film, podcast, and their combination affect students’ ability to interpret classic literary texts beyond surface-level comprehension. The participants were grouped into four instructional conditions: text-only, text with film, text with podcast, and text with both film and podcast. Data were gathered from students’ outputs submitted during onsite classes and through Canvas LMS and analyzed using a rubric assessing depth of literary interpretation, including textual evidence, thematic depth, and critical insight. Findings revealed that multimedia integration significantly enhanced students’ interpretive skills, with the combined use of films and podcasts yielding the highest level of performance. The study highlights the effectiveness of comparative multimodal pedagogy in promoting deeper engagement with literary texts in a BlendFlex learning environment.
