    (University of Oum El Bouaghi, 2018) Deziri, Redha; Chaira, Farid
    The course book is one of the most important sources that helps and guides learners, it is a framework that contains many interesting visuals including pictures which new teachers find it valuable. Sometimes, teachers over-rely on textbooks and don't consider other materials for the classroom. Therefore, this research work aims at exploring pictures as a motivational course book supplement. It is hypothesized that if teachers make a good use of pictures in teaching middle school students, their motivation will be enhanced, and it would be a good fit to support the course book aside from its already existing pictures. Thus, a descriptive study has been conducted; and the data was gathered by designing two questionnaires, one was handed to three teachers of English, and the other was submitted to thirty 4th fourth year students at Chadli Bendjedid's middle school in Souk Ahras. The obtained results of this case study revealed that the implementation of pictures in EFL classrooms can indeed help increase students' motivation towards learning English and completes the course book. In conclusion, it is recommended that teachers make a frequent use of pictures in the classrooms; as a warm up or in activities, which are highly beneficial for both students and teachers.
