A Picture Paints a Thousand Ideas Today's learners live in a predominantly visual world, where through the media and technology they are constantly exposed to a flood of visual stimuli. In this session we will explore the importance of using imagery in the ELT classroom and try out a range of activities where visual aids such as pictures, photos, posters and video images help facilitate learning and provide powerful retention tools. This session is aimed at teachers of learners aged 11-15.
