Profound power of pictures

IATEFL Webinar presented by Amir Esmaeili

This session will concentrate on the power of pictures in language classes. Pictures are often taken for granted, even though they can bring about a host of benefits for learners. For example, approached discreetly, pictures could cater for differentiation, pique learners' curiosity, or inform the teacher about learners' needs.

While the talk will not present an entirely new concept to the audience, it is going to look at the exploitation of pictures, whether in textbooks or from personal resources, from new perspectives. What factors could make pictures engaging? What meaningful activities could be done with pictures? How can we promote twenty-first century skills through pictures? These are the questions that will be addressed in the webinar.

There is no denying the fact that the majority of schools use textbooks the world over and pictures are ubiquitous parts of them. Even without textbooks, pictures can be printed on paper or displayed digitally to any classroom as for materials. Therefore, I firmly believe the content of this talk would be germane to a worldwide community of teachers.
