Travel guide as a medium to improve English comprehensiveness / Nurul Aiesyah Ahmad Shukrima and Raihan Md Ghazali

Guidebooks have been one of the most popular genres of travel literature throughout the world for decades. The contents of the guidebook are likely to be used by people of all ages for various purposes, as it contains diverse information ranging from historical sites to tourist attractions. Travel guidebooks, whether digital or physical, are intended to assist readers in avoiding uncertainty, yet most of those currently on the market have failed to do so. As a result, it could be difficult to immerse oneself in the reading as the length and complexity of guidebooks typically cause the problem. In this study, the author aspired for travel guidebooks to be straightforward and concise because they are a promising option for boosting users' English proficiency. In order to provide trustworthy and solid evidence, the study collected quantitative data using surveys, resulting in a positive finding among respondents regarding short yet compact travel guidebooks as the language and content are easier to comprehend.
