In the current study, it is aimed to improve the speaking skill of primary school students instructed in a multigrade class through cartoons. The current study employed the action research design. Participants of the study are 3rd and 4th grade primary school students instructed in a multigrade class in a village school in the city of Kahramanmaraş in Turkey in the 2019-2020 school year. The data in the study were collected through observations, interviews and documents. A program consisting of 7 applications in which cartoons are used for students with speech problems was prepared and applied within the scope of the language teaching course. The application continued for four weeks until the students' speech problems were reduced to a certain level and they achieved some improvement in speaking. Plans were prepared every week in line with the opinions of the field experts and the development status of the students in speech was evaluated. At the end of the study, the students' opinions about the application were taken through semistructured interviews. At the end of the study, it was observed that the speech errors of the students decreased. At the same time, it was determined that there was an increase in the speaking time of the students and the number of words and sentences they used. The most important and positive change occurred in the psychological dimension of speech. Students' motivation increased and they started to behave more comfortably when speaking. In this direction, their anxiety decreased and their desire to speak increased. Furthermore, positive changes occurred in the students' adjustment of their tones and sound intensities. The words spoken by the students became more comprehensible.

“…A noticeable number of researchers used various ways of animation to assist and enrich the educational process not only in class classrooms but also for adults, for example, in lifelong learning [40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. This approach has the advantage that it first secures students' attention, concentration and interest and then gives them the right to use their imagination and have fun while at the same time gaining knowledge.…”

Aim: To present the relevant research results that enhance the possibilities presented today with the use of multimedia applications. An attempt was made to explain its importance in the learning process in general and motor skills in particular. At the same time, we try to define the implementation process and the flags that need attention for the best possible results. Nowadays the use of digital technology has reached very high levels. Especially in the last two years with the COVID-19 pandemic, where distance learning was most used. Teachers have learned to use these digital tools to create attractive lessons for their students, who are already introduced to digital technology in their lives. The use of multimedia in education, as many research suggests, is a modern learning tool in the classroom, but recently they have been used in both physical education and sport. The effectiveness of multimedia use is based on the theory of visualization of information that helps the student store this information in their memory for subsequent recall, make the course more attractive/pleasant, so students are motivated to learn. In PA and sports it is used as a helpful tool, since the master of learning is practice. The means used to present multimedia in the classroom can be tablets, mobile phones, a laptop with a large screen view at the same time.

The storyline of the concept cartoons was created by the researcher with the element of One Malaysia value. This study was employed descriptive quantitative method and 40 secondary school students from Malaysia was the sample. The instruments was a set of questionnaire. A five point Likert scale was constructed on each item. Principal axis factor analysis with varimax rotation was conducted to assess the underlying structure for the 40 items questionnaire for interest and communication skills. The assumption of normality, linear relationship between pairs of variables and the variables' being correlated at a moderate level were checked. A team of experts in education was verified the content validity of the questionnaire. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient was used to calculate the reliability of the questionnaire. The results revealed significant findings regarding students' communication skills and interest in learning using concept cartoons. The majority of the students said that concept cartoons assisted them in their learning activities. The results also revealed that the instrument was valid and reliable. Future research on this topic could be carried out with animated cartoons series in various fields.
