Abstract

Although many different methods of teaching English have been tried, the problem of learning it continues. Concept cartoons that allow dialogic conversation in teaching English will contribute to solving this problem. This study examines the effect of concept cartoons in the sixth-grade English course unit "Yummy Breakfast" on students' achievement, speaking skills, and motivation. The non-equivalent pre-test post-test control group design was adopted in the study. There were 33 sixth-grade students, 18 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group. While the experimental group received English instruction supplemented by concept cartoons, the control group received traditional instruction. The study lasted 24 hours, including two hours of pre-testing, 18 hours of treatment, and four hours of post-testing. The results demonstrated that using concept cartoons in the classroom improved students' speaking ability and motivation. However, there was not any significant difference between students’ achievement scores.
