ABSTRACT
This paper deals with an analysis of the front
cover pages of the books of the collection Go For English
(henceforth GFE). The theories used to achieve the goal are
semiotics, the cognitive constructivist theory theories that make
the learner an independent and active participant in the
teaching/learning process. In addition, since the analysis includes
the description and interpretation of signs (pictures, images,
painting and colour…), defined as the science that studies signs, is
associated to the study. The methodology used consists in presenting
the cover pages of the documents selected for this study from which
a qualitative analysis is made. The interpretation concludes that
the books of this collection prove a rich experience for the
experimentation of the Competencies-Based Approach (CBA) which aims
at making learners autonomous and decision takers.
