1.1 The study of textbooks in China

In the background of the new curriculum reform and higher and higher requirements of the socity towards studentsrsquo; comprehensive ability to use English, more researchers begin to study the textbooks.Therefore the study of visuals in the Textbooks is a palingenetic but proming area among this field. In China, lots of rearchers started explore in this field. In 2009, zeng(2009) established a study on the illustrations in the foreign Textbooks, which was a tool to help leaners to make a better understanding towards textbooks. He made a comclusion that the reasarch questions of this field mainly focus on three parts: firstly, comparisons between multimodal textbooks and plain textbooks; secondly. How to make full use of the visuals strategically; lastly, differet infulences of using visual elements in different situations. Song(2005) explored the illustrations according to the cognitive psychology thory. In his study, he mentioned that there were three essential functions of textbook illustrations from the angle of cognitive psychology :(1)decoration, (2)interpretation and (3)facilitation and four basic dimensions should be observed in the making :(1)the relevance w ith the text in question , (2)the functional orientation, (3)the presentation style and (4)their phy sical features. Kang(2005) studied on the analysis of the quantity the visuals, which took three versions of Chinese textbooks as the data resources. This study mainly focuses on the problems of the illustrations in the Chinese textboooks which has mentioned by the perious researchers, and made an atempt to find new problems. Li(2014) made a research about the question: How the make full use of the visuals iin the textooks strategically? Visuals are the one of the most essential parts of textbooks and sufficient use of that not only increases of teaching efficience but also reduce the learning difficulty. She also analysis the problems needs to pay more attention to in using of the visual elements.

The studies of English textbooks in China mainly focus on the explaination, instruction and recommendation, which can be divided into six reasearch questions: the development of textbooks; theory and priciples of textbook compilation; evalucation and introduction of the textbooks; relationship between textbook and teaching; cultural factors in the textbooks.

Throgh study of English textbooks becomes prosperous in recent years; we can still realize that there are lots of problems in this area. Above all, we can early recognize that study of English textbooks mainly in the perspective of theoretical analysis, but ignore the practical level. And the subjects investigated are out-of-balance, which mainly concentrate on the textbook in middle schoolk and lose the sight of primaray textbooks. Therefore, this study aims on the Multimodal discourse analysis of the English textbooks for primary studnets.
