An image or graphic that displays information is referred to as a visual aid. Almost all print and electronic media contain visual aids; they might be found in the main text, in boxes or sidebars, or in appendices. They often convey information that is supported by the surrounding text, by this students can learn culture of foreign countries easily, because they see and read simultaneously. The study's findings support the use of visual materials in the teaching of culture. If learners practice materials with illustrations and schemes they will be able to forsee the main idea of the context by predicting and comparing.
