“…Moreover, suggestions were made on how to use cartoons as a technique for creating interest as well as for developing critical thinking and reflective teaching skills in economics education. Hence, cartoons have been widely used among educators, particularly to enhance learning in the fields of Science (Ross, 2009), Mathematics (Toh, 2012;Cho, 2012;Tim, 2010;Sexton, 2006), Economics (VanWyk, 2011), Science and technology (Balim et al, 2008), Children psychology development (Valdivieso & Lopez, 2012), and English (Arikan & Taraf, 2010;Tanner & Green, 2002;Bishop & Cates, 2001). …”

Cartoons have been a favorite among children, teenagers and adults. Cartoons began with paper drawing and have evolved to the highest technology of dissemination in the form of movies; apart from that, cartoons have become a teaching tool for second language learners. The objectives of the study were to identify and discuss the characters, storyline and moral values in a Malay cartoon. The cartoon used in this study was Upin and Ipin. The samples consist of ten subjects from a Malay language proficiency class at one of the universities in Korea. The subjects viewed 8 episodes of Upin and Ipin for 1 hour a week for a total of 8 weeks. The subjects were interviewed based on their views about the cartoon. The results of the study revealed that the subjects managed to identify all of the characters in the cartoon. The subjects also understood the storylines in six episodes of the cartoon. Moreover, the results revealed that the moral values for each episode involved respect, hardworking, caring, loving and others. This study implicates educators to consider cartoons as a teaching tool in foreign language learning. It is hoped that a future study will focus on cartoons when learning to write short stories among Malay language learners.

“…Recognizing the need to provide a more complete picture of sound's instructional potential, the first author created a framework for thinking systematically about designing instruction with sound (see Table 1, Bishop, 2000;Bishop & Cates, 2001). Combining information-processing and communication theories, the framework's nine cells supply strategies for how narration, sound effects, and music might be used more effectively within the ''instructional communication system'' to facilitate information processing (see acquisition, processing, and retrieval columns) at each level of learning (see selection, analysis, synthesis rows).…”

Sound may hold great promise for instructional software by supporting learning in a variety of ways. Conceptual and preconceptual barriers, however, still appear to prevent software designers from using sound more effectively in their instructional products. Interface books seldom discuss the use of sound and when they do, it is most often simple verbatim narration of on-screen text. This content analysis of 12 award-winning instructional software products indicated that, while sound is being incorporated into many learning environments, many instructional designers are using sound only for literal, information conveyance and not yet exploring how to exploit the associative potential of music, sound effects, and narration to help learners process the material under study more deeply.

Abstract-Since the 21st century, with the development of high technologies, such as Internet, tablets, and smartphones, there are more innovative ways to learn English. For example, people are able to use technologies to send messages, present ideas or share information anytime, anywhere. However, most of the mobile apps for English learning purposes in Taiwan are designed and presented in English interface. This is good for high level students, but the low level students may feel difficult and frustrated. Hence, the paper presents a pilot study and aims to develop a mobile app to improve college students' English vocabulary learning with both English and Chinese descriptions. The NGSL list is used as the content in the app, and the researcher designs twenty-four vocabulary learning units for students to use in one academic year. Students are expected to learn thirty words every week. Moreover, the words are presented both in English and Chinese because the target group is low-level students (CEF A2 level). In addition, the questionnaires were used to collect students' opinions toward the app. During this pilot study and with the use of mobile app, it is hoped that students' learning motivation can be increased and the self-study habits can be built.Index Terms-English vocabulary learning, mobile apps, NGSL.
