     Adopting traditional way of delivering information to our students usually is not significant especially when this information is more related in its content. That is due to using one sense for delivering it.  Therefore, using two ways or senses of handling significant amounts of information would be better. The infographics could achieve this goal. It can transfer knowledge about a topic faster and more effectively through visualization than pure text. This study provides an Argumentative literature review of the research done in the use of  infographics in teaching English Language. Starting from 70 research papers, 32 research papers were selected using predefined selection criteria. The documents were analyzed and coded using the classifications such as: participants, educational level, study design, pedagogical practice and learning impact. This information allowed identification of major educational outcomes related to adopting infographics into English. It also shed light on the reservations and difficulties faced in integrating infographics into English classroom. The results of these literature reviews assured the importance of adopting infographics in delivering information to our students in English courses. Adopting infographics in teaching language skills was investigated in reading, listening, digital literacy, writing and grammar. However, there is a lack of researches in the field of speaking and   assessment.
