UPIN IPIN CARTOON IN ENGLISH MOVIE

Dubbing basically is to substitute the original language used in a movie for another language by imitating the original voice. This paper demonstrates the concept of dubbing in translating movies. We conclude that Malaysian animation practices are the by-product of a collaboration between the private sector and government incentives and policy guidelines. We suggest that while animation producers may take on a production logic that mimics certain Western practices or models in order to be both relevant and competitive, the Malaysian industry has developed its own unique approach to transmedia storytelling. The subsequent discussion shows that locally developed products such as Kampung Boy, Upin dan Ipin, BoBoiBoy, and Ajen Ali not only possess universal traits of transmedia narratives but also have embedded strong local content pertaining to Malaysian cultures and values. The study outlines the argument that the adoption of transmedia storytelling is the result of an active exploration of the effective usage of multiple mediums for content dissemination. This paper examines the emerging adoption of transmedia storytelling practices among producers in the Malaysian animation industry and the connection to the public aspiration of preserving and promoting Malaysian culture both locally and internationally. Pedagogically, this research provides a paradigm shift that classroom-based communication does not have to use a single semiotic source but also a combination of other semiotic sources to help students understand teacher instructions easily. The findings show that four meanings are multimodally represented in teacher gestures, namely (1) building student-teacher relationships through clapping and thumbs up, (2) emphasizing instruction through raising hands, pointing and lifting class objects, (3) encouraging involvement of students in academic tasks through finger pointing and counting down, and (4) warning of disruptive behavior of students through pulling gestures. Data were collected through non-participant observation and analyzed by Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SFMDA). This study explores the multimodal representation of the teacher's gestures when managing classroom activities in the EYL context. Teachers usually use gestures in class activities, such as giving directions and pointing at students.

Managing classroom activities in children has become a challenge for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers.
