Stereotypes are socially constructed and a common example of a gender stereotype is that men are more likely to be seen as aggressive and competitive whereas women tend to be perceived as passive and cooperative. Textbooks in schools still have a significant role in educating children as sources of knowledge and information for students and as a term of reference for teachers. At the same time text books promote gender stereotypism through their content, language and pictorial representations. This study was conducted to analyze the components of gender stereotypes and how are gender stereotypes represented in the pictorial depiction in elementary school English textbook which used by the students of four, five and six grade at MI YPSM AL MANAAR TIRON.
