PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE VISUALS IN THEIR ENGLISH COURSE BOOK
Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the students’ perceptions about the visuals in their course book and the techniques employed by the teacher when using visuals to teach English. Also, it examines whether or not students’ visuals-related perceptions differ significantly according to their gender and whether or not there is a significant correlation between students’ age and their perceptions about visuals and the way they are used. The study included 89 fifth-year primary school students. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Findings of the study indicate that most of the students have positive perceptions about visuals in their course book and the techniques employed by the teacher when using these visuals to teach English. Another result of the study is that students’ visuals-related perceptions differ significantly according to their gender. On the other hand, the correlation between participants’ perceptions and their age seems to be rather weak
