With globalization, international borders have disappeared and multilinguality and culturality have begun to spread throughout the world. Foreign language teaching at an early age is important to adapt to the changes in the world and to become a “new world citizen”. The importance of the materials in the language teaching is great. Especially hearing-visual materials in this sense are very useful in the classes of foreign language teaching in the early age. Thanks to the TV available in many homes today, children spend much of their time watching cartoons. Cartoons that influence children’s listening-understanding and speech skills make the learning environment fun for children. Thanks to the line that increases children’s attitudes towards language in a positive direction, students become willing to learn language from the advanced periods of their lives. The cartoons shown to the child in a foreign language bring the daily speech language to the classroom, helping the child to increase the word knowledge in the target language while also helping the child to correctly pronounce them. Comic films provide both listening and visual input simultaneously ensures that the learned information is more durable. The visual support of the entries in the cartoons makes it easier for children to understand difficult topics and develop the ability to remove words they don’t know their meaning from the context. Thanks to the cartoons in which different communication environments are shown, the child becomes ready to communicate in the target language. The cartoons enable the child to recognize and love the culture of the language he learns, while the universal values enable the child to integrate.
