In line with this situation, the aim of this study is to assess the vocabulary acquisition growth on writing task of EFL learners by integrating visual images into the texts. This study was conducted during the supervision of the Final Project (TA) of the last year student at English Department, Politeknik Negeri Padang. A mix method was implemented to accomplish the aim of the study, the Vocabulary Size Test (VST) Monolingual –Version A, and semi open-ended interview were used to collect the required data. The VST was performed prior to and after the participant was facilitated by visual images in writing her project, whereas the interview came afterward. The study concluded that integrating visual images into the writing task could make a significant increase on the participant’ vocabulary size via e-learning. The innovative learning design in accommodating the needs of EFL learners in writing task could overcome their anxiety in conducting this skill, and improve their vocabulary acquisition. For further research, it is hoped that there would be another analysis on how to provoke learners’ independent learning and creativity involving other learning design like audiovisual to accommodate the needs of the learners.
