Recently, the animation industry in China is rapidly developing drawing the government and the whole society's attention. To cope with a large-scale animation market by each region, they busily seek revitalization program of animation industry and are producing lots of animations that maximized their creative ability with its own competence and breaking the existing OEM production method. Up to now, when the scale of sales related with animation in China exceeds 10 times than that in Korea, the concrete studies on current state of animation education AS the basis of development of animation industry of China and the way of academic-industrial cooperation through that education are proved to be insufficient. Therefore, this study has surveyed and analyzed the current state of animation education by directly visiting 6 local universities related with animation. Equivocally, it has also examined current state of academic-industrial cooperation in industrial field related with animation in China by directly visiting around 10 main companies related with animation in China. Through this study, it has been possible to grasp the current state and problems of academic-industrial cooperation in China and various programs of academic-industrial cooperation system that can be implemented in universities and businesses which are intended to be suggested to them as based on this analysis. The touchstone of intensive studies on academic-industrial cooperation system in China could be suggested through this study, which has been previously unsatisfactory and it is considered to be worthy of application as many preceding studies that engraft on reality of education in the country today.

As importance of English has been getting more important with globalization, English education for preschoolers has drawn more attention from parents who were born in 1970's and 1980's. Demands for English education are very intense mainly because parent generation has experienced importance of English through own career and they have only one or two children, resulting parents' willingness to invest more on children's education. In order to response high demands for English education, Korean public education system has introduced more intense English education curriculum for younger children and put more weights on English education even for preschoolers. Even though there are numbers of studies to support effectiveness of English education for pre-school age children, adaption of English education for them without through preparation may cause unwanted results on children's learning experience. Hence, it is imperative to develop guideline for English education targeting pre-school age children based on through studies. The purpose of this paper is to justify English education for preschoolers based on various theories for language acquisition, research effectiveness of edutainment animation for English education, and provide basic guideline to develop edutainment animation in the future. To achieve this goal, this study visits how each theory emphasizes importance of language education in preschool age children and analyzes well-known edutainment animation titles by comparing them per characteristics. Furthermore, specifically from participation-inducing animation for education, each component, such as characters, story structure, & story telling methods, has been discussed. Based on the findings from this paper, basic guidelines to develop edutainment animation are developed by suggesting teaching tools for English education for preschoolers.

Most animation films running on cinema or TV are based on 3D images. Domestically, a lot of 3D animations are produced, and the number of 3D animation films are on the annual rise. Many human resources relating to animation participate in a variety of domestic and foreign animation projects of domestic producers. In the animation participate in a variety resources are of more importance. As a result, many university make the effort to raise human resources for 3D animation. In this paper, we will look into the curriculum of 3D animation. In particular, based on the questionnaire survey in which domestic 3D animation producers participated, this study analyzed the survey results and tried to discuss how to rise human resources for creative 3D animation in university. It is aimed at suggesting the directions of raising human resources for 3D animation in proper 3D animation education and of their contributions to the development of the domestic 3D animation industry.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the plans of educationally using animation literacy on the basis of a media literacy approach. For this study, animation literacy class as a liberal arts was conducted, which students studying animation at university attended. In order to explore the plans of using animation literacy, students' perception of using animation literacy was examined after completing animation literacy class. Also, in-depth interview with experts participating in animation literacy class was performed. Results showed that all students taking animation literacy class acknowledged the educational value of animation literacy and could think over cultural and social implications of animation through class. Also, they could have various perspectives as an acceptor and analytical mind-set as a creator. Findings from in-depth interview with specialists indicated that education on animation literacy was indispensably necessary, and systemicity and objective criteria needed to be established. On top of that, experts proposed the way that through expansion of topics, and diverse animation works, students voluntarily and actively could participate in class. In addition, it suggests that because of participants in this study who were students majoring in animation, class to foster a perspective and ability as not only a viewer and an acceptor but also a producer and a creator should be added. It is expected that this study will be used as fundamental data for education on animation literacy, and future studies on education of animation literacy will be continuously conducted.
