Full TextAbstract
English textbooks can be the frontiers of Second Language (L2) and world views for English asForeign Language (EFL) learners. This qualitative study aimed to uncover how pictures of Iranian-published English textbooks represent identities in terms of gender, race, and nation. To this end, anintersectional lens was employed for analyzing the English textbook Vision 2 taught in Iranian highschool as the subject of the study. Analysis of visual data, using the models proposed by Nelson(2019) and Zarza (2018), indicated that Vision 2 failed to offer a successful and realisticrepresentation of gender, race, and nation for EFL learners. Insufficient representations of femalecharacters, different races, and nations were the most prominent findings of the present research.This study provided some explanations and suggestions for the following revision of EFL textbooks.
