Abstract<\/span><\/p>

Graphic Novels are the latent means of acquiring language skills in terms of acquisition of a second language and creativity in education, if it is brought as a part of syllabi in academics. Many small types of research are conducted on the GNs to find out the popularity of it over textbooks by librarians, using it in the classroom to teach English as a second language amongst Chines elementary pupils, minor research to teach the German Language with GNs, teaching vocabulary with it and so on. With the help of available outcomes of these relevant researches on the topic, the present research paper focuses on and identifies the scope for the pedagogical implications of it in instruction in the present scenario. Along with language skills, GNs introduce a wide range of knowledge of assorted subjects leading to creativity. Language is the predominant part of the GNs to be studied however, the emerging potential skills with the use of it in academics, could be developed by sighting the objectives of the present NEP 2020. Cognitive development is also stimulated with the help of GNs. The creativity in students with GNs has a good scope for skill development. The technicality, organized story, the format, and the illustrations are some of the areas along with the language that attracts the students to it than traditional textbooks. Graphic Novels have never been considered a serious piece of literature but a format. Usage of it in the practical subjects may result in better learning and generating good taught students than that degree holders. According to NEP-2020, the education should be skill-based; considering this objective the GNs exhibit a great amount of scope in learning with efficiency. Using it in the new syllabus for imparting the knowledge and flourishing the skills will prove it to be effective pedagogical means of teaching practical subjects as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Impact Statement<\/span><\/p>

The research on the use of Graphic Novels (GNs) in academic settings highlights their potential as an innovative pedagogical tool. By incorporating GNs into the curriculum, educators can enhance language acquisition, stimulate cognitive development, and foster creativity among students. Graphic novels’ visual and narrative elements make complex subjects more accessible and engaging, particularly in practical and technical disciplines. This approach aligns with the objectives of NEP-2020, emphasizing skill-based education and the development of professional competencies. The study indicates that GNs can significantly improve students’ understanding, retention, and interest in various subjects, thereby transforming the educational landscape. The integration of GNs in education could lead to a more joyful and effective learning experience, preparing students not just academically, but also equipping them with diverse skills essential for their future careers.<\/span><\/p>
