This article explores the impact of dubbing and subtitling in animated films as methods for teaching the Arabic language to children. It highlights the effectiveness of these audiovisual techniques in improving young learners' language skills, including listening, comprehension, pronunciation, and social interaction. By exposing children to diverse dialogues and cultural situations, animated films not only promote the acquisition of the Arabic language but also enhance the understanding of cultural and social values. The field study reveals that these tools make learning more interactive and engaging, increasing children's involvement. The article also proposes perspectives for future research, including the integration of animated films into school education and the exploration of the impact of modern technologies on language and cultural learning.
