Abstract

The aim of this article is to present a series of studies dealing with the term “frame” and different approaches to its analysis in teaching students English political vocabulary with the usage of graphic-visual strategies.

In particular, the article touches upon the problem of correlation between the language and the consciousness of a person on the basis of cognitive paradigm through the forms of different structures, models, pictures, diagrams, charts which refer to one notion “frame”.

The article also contains the analysis of “frame” which is generalized and universal system of representing various information including political vocabulary of the main topic “Electoral system in different countries”.

And at last it opens the importance of using graphic-visual strategies (Venn L. Tate Marcia, 2008) (Venn diagram, Word Map, A way with Words, Fishbone map, Spider Map, from Here to There, Cluster Map and others) in teaching students political vocabulary.
