Abstract

The advancement of the movie industry makes it undeniable that wars between countries have occurred until now. It's just that the way of fighting is different. This study can conceptually illustrate the strategy of a country to attack another country by reconstructing the country's image negatively. The purpose of this study is to understand the representation of Japan as a colonizer in a Korean film entitled "Exhuma." This study employed a qualitative research design. The Exhuma film's symbol analysis research requires a wide range of data sources to support the interpretation of its meaning and messages. The primary source of data is the Exhuma film, where the researcher thoroughly examines the symbol elements to determine which symbols are there. The data is analyzed in seven stages: identification of symbols, analysis of literal meaning, relationship of symbols with context, consideration of interpretation, strengthening interpretation with supporting evidence, relationship of interpretation with themes, and drawing conclusions about the findings. Based on the results of the data analysis, it was found that in the film Exhuma, Japan is represented as a colonizer with two categories of historical and mythical symbols. Historical symbols are signs or symbols that depict the atrocities of Japanese colonization, based on adaptations of historical facts. While mystical symbols are signs or symbols that represent the atrocities of Japanese colonization based on supernatural or mystical beliefs and myths in the beliefs and culture of South Korean society.

Abstract

In an age where digital media profoundly influences early childhood experiences, the significance of animated cartoons in foreign language acquisition has attracted increased academic attention. Although formal instruction is fundamental to language education, informal, media-based exposure especially via cartoons presents a potentially potent yet underexamined pathway for language acquisition. This study rigorously analyzes 38 peer-reviewed, Scopus-indexed articles to investigate the acquisition of foreign languages by children through animated cartoons, emphasizing the psychological comfort and inherent nature of the learning process. The study utilizes a critical review methodology to synthesize empirical data from applied linguistics, educational psychology, and media studies. The investigation demonstrates that cartoons facilitate quantifiable improvements in vocabulary and phonological awareness, frequently without explicit teaching. Children interact with foreign-language material in a psychologically low-pressure setting, supported by elements such as visual redundancy, repetition, and emotional connections to characters. Contextual factors, including as age, frequency of exposure, and parental mediation, additionally influence learning outcomes. These findings highlight the efficacy of animated cartoons as supplementary resources in early language education, especially in environments with restricted formal instruction. The study enhances the existing literature promoting multimodal, emotionally supportive learning settings and provides practical implications for educators, parents, and policymakers aiming to utilize media for language development.
