Abstract: This study evaluates visual elements in two English textbooks, that is,
Interchange 3 and Top Notch 3B, commonly taught to Iranian EFL learners; it analyzes
illustrations to find out the balance of black-and-white and color drawings and photos
and examines the extent to which visual materials are used for decorative purposes. The
analysis of visual elements reveals that, first, color pictures constitute a large percentage
of illustrations in both textbooks, reflecting current publication trend for stylish color
pages. Second, Interchange 3 has more drawings than the Top Notch 3 whereas the Top
Notch textbook has more photos, which can establish more authenticity and result in its
higher price. Third, the majority of the portraits are color photos, and, further, actions are
represented more through drawings than photos, presumably because of practicality
issues. Finally, pictures used for decorative purposes constitute a small percentage of
illustrations in both textbooks, indicating their pedagogically facilitative effects.
