Abstract

We were interested in the image. The latter, visual and figurative representation, has always been part of the means used in the teaching-learning of languages, we note that this support is always present in the language class, because in addition to its aspect of humor, the image is capable of explaining the linguistic code, by referring to another code. Thus, the image as a teaching aid could also have a considerable impact on the comprehension of writing among learners in the 7th and 8th years of basic education.
This article is particularly interested in the teachers responsible for the information and communication technology course and the designers of programs and manuals.
