Talking Pictures with Robert Kirstein
Activities revolving around texts and audios are commonplace in language classrooms. But do we really exploit the full potential of the many great visuals available in our materials? In this webinar we’ll be taking to heart the old saying ‘A picture is worth a 1000 words’ by exploring the various possibilities pictures and illustrations provide. We’ll be focussing on ways in which you can use images to help consolidate and expand your students’ vocabulary and grammar. You’ll have the chance to try out a range of activities based on photos and illustrations in various course books, and which you can adapt for use with other materials. Come along, enjoy English, enjoy pictures and enjoy yourselves!
