Visualisation - Highlights in Language Teaching

Taking into account the EU policy of widening the use of different languages in all Europe, the partners have been reflecting about ways of motivating learners to obtain or to improve knowledge in foreign languages. Their reflection led to the conclusion that it is necessary to find ways of catching the learners´ full attention to reach good results. Out of a range of possible approaches we selected one of the most eclectic ones : the visualisation of topics.

With the visualisation of topics it is possible to reach people of all education levels. Differences in interpretation of the visualised topics are expected and seen as positive intercultural exchanges.

Visualisation is a tool to discover other cultures and to improve respect and understanding for otherness.

We are sure that the combination of visualisation strategies with cooperative learning and kinaesthetic strategies is an effective way to diversify ways of teaching and learning.
