Abstract
This research is intended to investigate the students’ perceptions of the use of animations as teaching aid in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom in SD Negeri Sudirman, a public elementary school in Ambarawa, Central Java, Indonesia. The animations used in this research is animations that combine texts, graphics, motions, and sounds (audio-visual) such as movie clips, videos, etc. This study involves seventy—four (41 females and 33 males) participants from two EFL classrooms of elementary school level. In obtaining the data, a questionnaire is developed. The participants were asked some questions about their perception of the used of animations after they were taught through animations for several times in their English lessons. The result shows that animations can be used as the teaching aid in EFL classroom in this small city school and can be accepted by the students. The result also reveals that students believed that animations are helpful and interesting for them in learning English. This suggests elementary English teachers to decide whether or not animations can be used as teaching aid in their own teaching situation.
