A richly illustrated and valuable guide to the role of pictures and
other visual materials in language teaching. This book brings together a
wealth of ideas on how to use pictures in a wide range of language
learning situations. It discusses the contribution visuals can make to
all the classroom settings in providing real opportunities for students
to communicate, whether they are working as a class, in groups or in
pairs. There are then over 200 practical suggestions for
picture-generated language work. They make use of visual materials which
are readily available to teachers anywhere, or easy-to-copy
illustrations. The activities can be integrated into all stages of the
language teaching process and advice is given on how to adapt the ideas
to suit different teaching environments. The book ends with advice on
setting up a picture library, including how to find visuals, how to
categorise pictures, and storage methods.
