Abstract
This article is about the discourse on learning languages construed and transmitted by images in websites of private schools specialized in foreign languages teaching, evidencing the representations construed by these establishments to society. The argument favors the consideration of images in language studies, and the theoretical basis adopted includes the socio-semiotic approach to language, the Grammar of Visual Design, and the concept of social representation. The corpus analysis evidences the representation of the learning in optimal conditions of comfort, homogeneity, with the presence of resources and diverse instruments, in which the student is an agent of processes related to linguistic reception. It is concluded that these visual narratives contribute to the idea widely spread in society that the ideal language learning happens in private specialized schools and is reserved for few people.

Summary
Renato Caixeta da Silva, Representações do aprender línguas em narrativas visuais:. homogeneity, with the presence of resources and diverse instruments, in which the student is an agent of processes related to linguistic reception. Na perspectiva do que foi mencionado até então, o presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma análise do discurso sobre aprender línguas presente em sites de escolas de idiomas, construído por meio de imagens, de modo a evidenciar as representações visuais desse processo construídas e veiculadas por esses estabelecimentos para a comunidade em geral. Entende-se por representações os conhecimentos práticos construídos na sociedade via discursos sobre as mais diversas ações, pessoas, objetos, eventos, a partir de uma dada realidade sociocultural (MOSCOVICI, 2003), conhecimentos esses orientados para os processos de comunicação e de compreensão do meio social em que se encontra o ser humano (JODELET, 1995). Todos os procedimentos descritos servem de apoio para as considerações feitas ao final do artigo
