Abstract

The PICTURES of the TEXTBOOKS play an important role in the transfer of concepts and values to students. However, no comprehensive studies have been done on the FUNCTIONS of PICTURES and their effects on the students from the gender perspective in the instructional LANGUAGE TEXTBOOKS in Iran. Accordingly, the current study is an attempt to evaluate the PICTURES in Iranian high-school English TEXTBOOKS concerning their learning FUNCTIONS as well as the presence and absence of GENDER BIAS. To this end, the PICTURES in the TEXTBOOKS were analyzed regarding the instructional vs. non-instructional (decorative) FUNCTIONS.The people in the PICTURES were also investigated from the perspective of GENDER BIAS on the basis of the three criteria of the frequency of males and females, the type of environment surrounding the two genders, and the kinds of activities.The data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results revealed that, from the viewpoint of FUNCTIONS, the majority of the PICTURES were instructional; from the perspective of the frequency of males and females’political and social activities and the type of environment, GENDER BIAS existed in favor of males; in terms of personal and educational activities, the representation of females was more remarkable. The findings have some implications for textbook writers, materials developers, English LANGUAGE teachers and other experts in the field of education.
