Abstract
For the last decades, the variety of educational technologies enabled language teachers to have opportunities to select multimedia materials in teaching students the target language in the classroom. Excellent and effective teaching demands a host of devices, instruments, techniques, and strategies not only to help students achieve cross critical competence, but also to make learning enjoyable. One teaching device, which perhaps is seldom used, is the cartoon. The impact of cartoons on young children is immediate as it is visual. They catch their attention not only with the illustrations and graphics that children see and enjoy watching as they usually associate cartoons with fun and humor. With the sounds and expressions, they hear, children are drawn into participating in the dialogue by becoming one of the characters.
