“Research done by professionals in the field and real-life experience of librarians have shown that there is one format that covers a variety of genres, addresses current and relative issues for teens, stimulates the young people’s imagination, and engages reluctant readers: graphic novels” (Gorman, 2003, p. xi).
The prime concern of the world English teacher-researchers is to find out better and more interesting ways to teach English Language Learners (ELL). Accordingly, the teacher-researchers always strive to search for various learning methods and techniques for language learners. There are various approaches, methods and techniques to teach the English Language. English Literature is one of the methods and Graphic Narrative is one of the techniques among them. We human beings tend to be visual learners, hence, in thinking characteristics, with visual and verbal aspects of Graphic Novels can appeal and engage English Language Learners. The present paper focuses on engaging English Language Learners (ELL) through the usage of graphic novels as an alternative multimodal tool for ELT. The paper is based on the several core studies done in the field of ELT through pedagogical graphic narrative text that covers graphic narrative fictions (novels, short stories, memoirs, and autobiographies) and also non-fictions.
