| Abstract | ||
| Several nations, including Iraq, have begun to change their attitudes regarding the status of sexism in English series namely English for Iraq textbook, which is utilized four English series textbooks including (1st intermediate textbook, 2nd intermediate textbook. 4th preparatory textbook and 6th preparatory textbook). To achieve this knowledge gap, a textual study of the English for Iraq textbook was performed, which is utilized in Iraqi intermediate and primary schools. The study focused on the graphic texts that accompanied the linguistic materials. Within a framework for analysis, Kress and van Leeuwen's (2005) "Visual Grammar" was utilized. The consequences demonstrated that the pictures that combine with language texts strengthened gender asymmetry illustrations. In addition to being portrayed as more reliant than men, women were also thought to be admirers of actions conducted by men. Multimodality of meaning construction necessitates deliberate attempts to give equal weight to both genders in imagery, according to the study. | ||
