English language teachers in Turkey have inevitably changed their ways of teaching English mainly because of Constructivist approaches to teaching and learning. They tend to explore new language teaching methods and recent methodological innovations. Among the innovations there is the use of animations or animated cartoons. Cartoons, apart from being a young child’s free time friend, can become every young learner’s school time treasure. Authentic animated cartoons serve for young learners’ characteristics and needs, bringing the real language into the classroom context and providing authentic use of language. Ideas on using of cartoons in language classes and the potential role of using such an approach will be discussed here.
