Abstract
In PakistanEnglish language learners face many difficulties while they pass through the process of learning another language. Especially it is very difficult for the children to keep in mind all the rules of language use at an early age. In order to facilitate language learning in particular story writing skills, this study aims to target students'/subjects' creativity through inspirational and interesting animated cartoon movies. During the study the learners are given a free hand to formulate an expression devoid of reluctance towards learning the language and its rules.
An experimental and purposive sampling technique was used to find out the effect of animated cartoon movies on students' story writing skills. After making the female students of grade VIII of a semi-government school watch cartoon movies, a series of story writing tests including a pre and post-test was conducted to find out its effect on English language learning. These tests were assessed on four different criteria including the assessment of language, vocabulary use, organization, and narrative techniques. The results of these scoring rubrics consisted of five points which were shown through graphic and numeric presentations.
