시각 커뮤니케이션과 외국어교육 - 그림의 교수법적 기능을 중심으로

Abstract

We cannot imagine textbooks without visual images in foreign language education. What are their roles and functions in language teaching? Are they simple decorations for just visual effects? Or are they presented to facilitate listening and reading comprehension? To answer to these questions, this study is designed to analyse the relations between visual images and texts in language teaching materials based on communicative approach, and to argue that visual images are means of conveying their own autonomous meanings.
