| dc.description.abstract | Abstract The current research provides an investigation of a crucial phenomenon in English foreing language . It is about the analysis of gender representation in visuals and dialogues included in textbooks. To reach our aim, we followed content analysis with a view to spot the light on gender roles and gender relationships as they are displayed in textbooks used in the Algerian educational system. The visuals were analysed according to the Social Semiotic Multimodal Approach.The results showedthat visuals and dialogues in textbooks may develop bias and wrong representation on the part of foreign language learners. Females are underrepresented in comparison to males .There is a noticibale imbalance in favor of males .Women has been represented as marginalized and powerless. Taking such results into account, teachers must be aware of how to deal and tackle visuals and dialogues that stand for gender roles and relationships. | |
