Visuality and Communication in Military English Classes

The present paper aims at discussing the rationale for implementing posters in teaching and learning a foreign language in general, and in the military educational environment in particular. It proposes a flexible and practical approach of the discourse analysis, suitable for young learners as well asa reflection on its importance from a pedagogical perspective. The targets of this research are military students with A2 to B2 levels of English. In the context of visual narratives, posters can become effective and motivating tools able to adapt to any level, from beginner to advanced, and learners acquire military language by reading and listening to documents aimed at native speakers. It is believed that this approach will inspire new research paths on how visual materials can contribute to creating a pleasant and interactive educational environment in the military language classroom
