Rationale of the presentation: Key words. LANGUAGE ACQUISITION THINKING VISUAL LITERACY

1. LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

2. THINKING THINKING = COMPREHENSION DIFFERENT COMPREHENSION LEVELS

Schemata Knowledge Experiences Feelings Beliefs Assumptions Memories

Where do our students get information from?

3. VISUAL LITERACY VISUALS Photographs, paintings and drawings, graphic art (including everything from political cartoons to comic books to illustrations in children’s books), films, maps, videos and various kinds of charts and graphs. LITERACY The ability to COMPREHEND visuals. All comprehension levels.

Using visuals in the classroom: LANGUAGE Vocabulary Structures Reading, writing, listening and speaking. LITERACY Comprehension levels Literacy strategies THINKING Thinking levels – Bloom´s Taxonomy 21st century skills

THE LANGUAGE OF THINKING. Sentence Starters & Language Frames

So, working with visuals and developing Visual Literacy helps my students: Use language (vocabulary and structures) in a meaningful context. Develop speaking, writing, listening and reading with a strong focus on communication. Interact meaningfully with others using the target language. Go beyond the literal level and deepen their thinking and understanding. Think efficiently about the visuals they are exposed to every day.
