Özet:

 This article aims to contribute to semiotics with the aim of finding out what effect the visual materials in the textbooks have on the learners and the learning and teaching phase. It focuses on the question of what effect visual materials have in foreign language teaching, how learners perceive cultural meanings with the help of a visual material, which cultural meanings are conveyed by an image and whether the group addressed understands these cultural meanings. The examination of visual materials provides an evidence base for the theoretical justification of the cultural knowledge conveyed by GFL textbooks in the foreign language classroom. The methodological foundations are based on the sign model of Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles Sanders Peirce as well as the sign concepts of Charles William Morris, Umberto Eco and Roland Barthes. The signs in the Menschen textbook series are filtered out and categorised according to the sign model of Ferdinand de Saussure and Charles Sanders Peirce. Cultural signs in particular are then interpreted according to the sign concepts of Morris, Eco and Barthes. The visual materials in the Menschen A1-B1 textbook series form the starting point for this work. Firstly, the key concepts and historical development of the field are analyzed in detail. Then the semiotic, cultural and intercultural aspects of the aforementioned series of textbooks as well as their strengths and weaknesses with regard to semiotics are filtered out and analyzed.

 Bu makale, ders kitaplarında yer alan görsel materyallerin öğrenenler ve öğrenme-öğretme aşaması üzerinde nasıl bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koymak amacıyla göstergebilime katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Yabancı dil öğretiminde görsel materyallerin nasıl bir etkisi olduğu, öğrenenlerin bir görsel materyal yardımıyla kültürel anlamları nasıl algıladıkları, bir görselin hangi kültürel anlamları aktardığı ve bu kültürel anlamların hedef kitle tarafından anlaşılıp anlaşılmadığı sorularına odaklanmaktadır. Görsel materyallerin incelenmesi, yabancı dil sınıflarında Almanca ders kitapları tarafından aktarılan kültürel bilginin teorik olarak gerekçelendirilmesi için bir temel sağlar. Metodolojik temeller, Ferdinand de Saussure ve Charles Sanders Peirceün işaret modelinin yanı sıra Charles William Morris, Umberto Eco ve Roland Barthesın işaret kavramlarına dayanmaktadır. Menschen ders kitabı serisindeki göstergeler, Ferdinand de Saussure ve Charles Sanders Peirceün gösterge modeline göre filtrelenmekte ve kategorize edilmektedir. Özellikle kültürel göstergeler daha sonra Morris, Eco ve Barthesın gösterge kavramlarına göre yorumlanmıştır. Menschen A1-B1 ders kitabı serisindeki görsel materyaller bu çalışmanın başlangıç noktasını oluşturmaktadır. İlk olarak, alanın temel kavramları ve tarihsel gelişimi ayrıntılı olarak analiz edilmektedir. Daha sonra Menschen ders kitabı serisinde yer alan göstergebilimsel, kültürel ve kültürlerarası öğeler ve bu öğelerin güçlü ve zayıf yanları ortaya çıkarılmış ve analiz edilmiştir.
