Authors : Brahimi Fz Belhouchet .
Abstract
This paper seeks to investigate how women are represented in 2nd generation EFL textbook intended for 1st year middle school level. We estimate that their representation is biased. Our aim is to analyze the illustrations included in the current didactic tool in order to check whether these illustrations are stereotyping women and examine to what extent they are discriminating against women. We will use a quantitative approach, scrutinizing pictures, photos, and drawings, on one hand, to see how female characters are belittled and a qualitative approach examining the roles or the types of occupations attributed to gender , on the other hand, to check whether the occupations assigned for female characters are traditional in comparison to those attributed to male characters. The result of this humble study reveals that male character representations outnumber female character illustrations. And men have been attributed a variety of remunerated occupations while women have only two remunerated, but traditional: nurse and teacher.
