Teaching Vocabulary Through Cartoon Films For Toddlers By Using Mind Mapping Technique
Abstract
This paper intends to explore the connection between vocabulary development and cartoon movies, specifically focusing on how cartoon movies can be effectively utilized to teach vocabulary. Vocabulary encompasses a collection of words that convey a wide array of meanings. Cartoons, although primarily designed for children's entertainment, can also serve as valuable educational tools. With the objective of establishing the correlation between cartoons and education, the author has produced a research paper titled "Enhancing English Vocabulary Acquisition for Junior High School Students through the Use of Cartoon Movies." The primary goal of this paper is to contribute to the English learning process of children, specifically targeting those aged seven to fourteen. The paper delves into the utilization of cartoon movies as a means to facilitate the learning of English vocabulary among children. The central focus of this study revolves around investigating the instructional approach of employing audiovisual materials, particularly cartoon movies. The paper adopts a survey methodology to collect data on the effectiveness of employing cartoon movies to enhance the English vocabulary of first-year junior high school students.The findings of this study affirm that cartoon movies, exemplified by works like "Animal Song for Children," can indeed serve as a potent medium to foster the development of English vocabulary among children.
