“…More pedagogically focused research was performed by Keogh and Naylor [5] regarding "Concept Cartoons" in science. This work has been cited often (for example [6] and [7]) and measurable results confirmed by other researchers [8]. The concept cartoons they created and studied often dealt with science misconceptions and their purpose was to generate classroom discussion of competing ideas amongst the students.…”

Comics multiplying must become the center of attention for educators, especially educators at the elementary school (SD) level. Seeing this, the world of education began to approach the comic media. Comic media has already started to be developed in the field of education, an expert in psychology who is famous for behavioristic theory, Edward Lee Thorndike, has researched comics, the results of this study reveal that a child is accustomed to reading comic books more than usual, for example within one month, the child reads a minimum of 1 comic book, this is the same as the child reading several textbooks every year, of course, this will affect reading skills/abilities for children and will increase mastery and vocabulary which is far more than usual. A child who doesn't like reading comics. It is by the expression. One picture is worth a thousand words, meaning that one image has the same value as a thousand words. Educational comic media is an innovative media that can be used as an alternative media to overcome learning difficulties for children, primarily covering matters related to material interests and understanding. Based on the distribution of learning outcomes in the experimental class, which obtained an average value of 73.79 (high) learning outcomes. While the results of the distribution of learning outcomes for the control class received an average value of learning outcomes of 47.75 (moderate). Based on the research conducted, the researcher obtained a value (Sig. (2-tailed)) of 0.000 <0.05, which means that comic strip media has a significant effect on student learning outcomes.

“…Based on the data collected, it can be seen that these pre-service teachers do have an interest in teaching tools that assist them in directing the students' attention to classroom lessons. It is understandable why these aspiring pre-service elementary school teachers have begun to rely on them and use them throughout the teaching and learning process, particularly among elementary school students as English comics provide various vocabulary, appealing colours, intriguing visual art, and page layout (Wylie & Neeley, 2016).…”

This paper highlights the ESL pre-service elementary school teachers’ views on using English comics in the classroom and using English comics to assist elementary school pupils in improving their English language skills. A descriptive survey research design was used, and a quantitative method study was done among 64 pre-service teachers utilising an internet questionnaire as an instrument aimed to answer questions concerning their views towards the use of English comics as a medium for teaching and learning English and the effectiveness in improving pupils’ English language abilities. The results from the questionnaire were analysed quantitatively, and the findings were summarised using descriptive statistics and frequency count to characterise the properties of the large group of samples. From the survey, it was found that most pre-service teachers have positive perceptions of using comic books as teaching and learning tools in class. Furthermore, the findings indicated that the pre-service teachers believe it is advantageous to improving students’ English language abilities. The study offers other recommendations for future research and implications that might help ESL instructors and young students enhance their students’ English language proficiency.
