Abstract

This paper aims is to find the objectives: 1) To determine the implementation of my side bias to EFL students in making meaningful interpretations and analyzing bias using my side bias of visual messages through music videos,

2) To find out the EFL student's ability to make meaningful interpretations and analyzing bias using my-side bias of visual message by using my side bias through music videos. This is a type of qualitative research that uses descriptive analysis. The participants is the EFL students in the 3rd semester of the English Education Study Program at Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. The researcher collected data for this study through observation of learning activities, document analysis, and interviews. The number of participants in the observation was 34, while, in the interview, the researcher chose 6 people from 34 students based on the learning achievements that students achieved in the critical reading class. The results showed that, during the observation, the interpretation and analysis of bias in music videos were well implemented. It's just that there are some steps missed. However, students could follow the learning activities and understand the application of my-side bias in analyzing bias and interpreting visual messages in music videos. In addition, student performance results show that using my-side bias in analyzing bias and interpreting visual messages through music videos is in a good category. It aligns with the responses of students who feel a positive impact after using my side bias in analyzing bias and interpreting visual messages through music videos.
