Notes	Learning vocabulary is an integral part of learning a second language. The amount of vocabulary a student possesses correlates with the student’s performance in reading and writing in both native and second languages. Since images are also an important part of students’ lives, it is possible to assume they affect the learning process. The purpose of this study was to observe how the use of images impacts the learning of vocabulary in the second language and if in fact, it also helps with vocabulary retention. This study was conducted with two classes of Spanish II with a total of 25 subjects. The study consisted of using two different methods to teach twenty five words to two groups. While presentations, activities, and homework were given to both groups, the experimental group learned the vocabulary with images and the control group learned with words. A pre-test was given to all of the subjects. To determine whether the vocabulary was learned and retained, post-tests were given on the fourth day of the study and three weeks after the experiment was completed. Two statistical tests were used, the Two-Sample T-Test and the Paired T-Test. The results indicated that there was not a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group. Additionally, all of the subjects display no significant disparity in vocabulary retention. However, the observations gathered during the study revealed potentially useful information. Subjects that learned using images were more enthusiastic during the experiment and expressed that they enjoyed the process better than learning with only words. They also appeared to be more engaged in class and performed better in their writing assignments. This study suggests that while there was no significant difference in the learning and retention of vocabulary with the use of images, it enforces positive responses. Because of these observations, the study recommends further studies regarding the impact of images on the learning of vocabulary of a second language.
