Abstract

This study, which was done in Kenema City, Sierra Leone, examined the influence of cartoons on children’s English Language use and development. It suggests that children watch cartoons and, as a result, they are able to learn vocabulary or new words in the English Language through television, newspapers, magazines, and books. The study also revealed that children are interested in toys and costumes; learn lessons about “Love” and “Honesty,”; and learn the English Language from common channels such as channel XYZ TV, Video Cassette, Cine Plus, and GTV. The study further revealed that fighting and ways of speaking the English Language, together with the use of new vocabulary and dress codes, are some of the values of cartoons.
