However, students at SMP Negeri 2 Rangkasbitung still struggle to critically analyze descriptive texts. This issue is caused by conventional teaching methods that are less interactive, the suboptimal use of gadgets in learning, and the limited variety of engaging and innovative learning media. This study aims to develop and examine the effectiveness of Canva-based interactive multimedia in enhancing students' critical thinking skills, including analyzing the development stages, feasibility, effectiveness, student responses, and learning outcomes after its implementation. This research employs the ADDIE development model, which consists of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The study sample consists of 30 seventh-grade students from SMP Negeri 2 Rangkasbitung. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, expert validation questionnaires, and pre-test and post-test assessments. Data analysis applies a qualitative approach to explore expert, teacher, and student feedback and a quantitative approach to measure multimedia effectiveness based on questionnaire and test results. The findings indicate that Canva-based interactive multimedia is effective in enhancing students' critical thinking skills. The average student score increased from 53.86 in the pre-test to 78.4 in the post-test, with the success rate rising from 54% (fair category) to 78% (good category). The N-Gain Score calculation yielded an average of 0.57 (moderate category), with some students achieving a high category (N-Gain = 1). Expert validation results demonstrated high feasibility, with material validation scoring 81.25% and media validation scoring 90.67%. Teacher and student responses were also highly positive, with 96.7% of teachers and 86.43% of students stating that Canva enhanced their understanding and engagement in learning. In conclusion, Canvabased interactive multimedia has proven to be an effective and innovative learning tool that increases student engagement and critical thinking skills in understanding descriptive texts. Therefore, Canva is recommended as an alternative learning medium for English instruction at the junior high school level. date: 2025 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/48453/1/SUMARYANI%20RITA%20SUSILOWATI_7772230014_01.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/48453/2/SUMARYANI%20RITA%20SUSILOWATI_7772230014_02.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/48453/3/SUMARYANI%20RITA%20SUSILOWATI_7772230014_03.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/48453/4/SUMARYANI%20RITA%20SUSILOWATI_7772230014_04.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/48453/5/SUMARYANI%20RITA%20SUSILOWATI_7772230014_05.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/48453/6/SUMARYANI%20RITA%20SUSILOWATI_7772230014_Fulltext.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/48453/7/SUMARYANI%20RITA%20SUSILOWATI_7772230014_Ref.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/48453/8/SUMARYANI%20RITA%20SUSILOWATI_7772230014_Lamp.pdf identifier: Rita Susilowati, Sumaryani (2025) PENGEMBANGAN MULTIMEDIA INTERAKTIF BERBASIS CANVA UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KRITIS PADA MATERI TEKS DESKRIPTIF DALAM PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA INGGRIS KELAS 7 DI SMP NEGERI 2 RANGKASBITUNG.
