| dc.description.abstract | The present study aims at investigating the role of images presented in the New Headway textbook, and its impact on the learners’ understanding and acquisition of new English vocabulary. In the advanced hypotheses, images are useful and successful in facilitating the comprehension and the learning of new English words. To test the hypotheses, three images presented in the New Headway textbook have been analyzed using Kress and Van Leeuwen’s theory “Reading Images: The Grammar of Visual Design” (2006). For the sake of triangulation, two extra research tools have been used: Interview and questionnaire. The interview was conducted with three English teachers in Ecomode private school at Tizi- Ouzou; and the questionnaire was designed to 27 EFL learners of the third level in Ecomode School at Tizi-Ouzou. This study is based on the Mixed Method Research to collect and analyze the data. The data gathered from the learners’ questionnaire are presented with the use of the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS), and both the questionnaire and the interview are analyzed using the Content Analysis Method. The results obtained from this study show that the use of images in textbooks is helpful for the learners to acquire more English words and raise their motivation throughout the learning process. These results confirm our hypothesis and reveal that images in textbooks improve learners’ vocabulary and make learning easier. | en |
