You're struggling to engage students in your teaching. How can visual aids help improve communication?

Puedes utilizar presentaciones visuales con imágenes y videos relevantes que complementen tu ense?anza y hagan más vívida la información. Emplea pizarras interactivas para esquematizar conceptos y realizar diagramas que visualicen información compleja. Coloca carteles visuales en el aula que resuman temas importantes o muestren cronologías y mapas conceptuales. También puedes usar materiales manipulativos como modelos o bloques para demostrar conceptos abstractos y crear infografías que resuman temas específicos de manera atractiva. Integrar estas ayudas visuales en tu ense?anza no solo mejora la comunicación, sino que también facilita un aprendizaje más interactivo y participativo.

Reading words can get overwhelming for students. Especially in my case when I work with mostly children. Having simple pictures of every day vocabulary, the things around them, the feelings inside them, etc. will only enhance their learning.

A multiplicidade de formatos e dinamicas pedagógicas favorece a aten??o, dentre outros motivos, por se aproximar do consumo midiático que a média dos alunos fazem. N?o foram só os livros que encurtaram ou as redes sociais que nos deram um mar de emo??es no feed. Filmes como "Homem-Aranha no Aranhaverso", por exemplo, possuem um quantidade imensa de emo??es e cenários em segudos. Utilizar essa dinamicidade ao nosso favor em sala - sem reproduzi-la, uma vez que é necessário ensinar outras referências, velocidades e vivências - ajuda a manter a aten??o dos alunos. Há também uma quest?o de ritmo aqui, como em um roteiro de filme que ao contar uma história nos engaja ou entedia. Pra mim, professores e contadores de história tem muito em comum.

é necessário lembrar que a aten??o é algo muito relativo e particular. N?o é porque um estudante está rabiscando em seu caderno que ele n?o está prestando aten??o. Engajamento pode ser traduzido também em pesquisas paralelas à aula sobre o tema/caso em discuss?o ou, ainda, reflex?o pessoal desconectada da aula. O uso de uma multiplicidade de recursos (sensoriais em geral, como áudio, vídeo, texto, imagem, objetos) da caminhos para os diferentes perfis de aprendizagem dos estudantes na sala de aula.

When you design your lessons accordingly, it will only help to enhance the students' learning. They become more interested in the materials, the worksheets will look more appealing to do, they won't get too overwhelmed to keep doing them, and most of the times, these visual aids help boost their memory too.

From my experience, teaching complex grammar rules can only go so far with words and examples. It is with pictures and some visual aids that allow my students to properly grasp the topic at hand. The visual aids allow them put things into perspectives and help them apply those "confusing" grammar rules to their daily routines.

Vocabulary is the foundation of learning higher level skills in the Bloom Taxonomy. These key words are the building blocks to hone in their analysis and meta cognitive abilities. For this reason I love to use Quizlet. This online learning tool allows me to create interactive flashcards where students can practice their vocabulary words by using audio, and images. Also, it lowers their affective filter with learning games they can play independently or with their peers. Practice, audio visuals and games are basics when learning vocabulary.

"Putting a face to a name" is the concept here. You know it, you've heard of it, but when there is some visual aids here, it helps you to understand it clearer, in more depth, and remember for a long time.

In my experience teaching English to young children in Malaysia, there are definitely a lot of words that are not commonly used in our country. Words like "winter" and the whole concept about it; winter holidays, winter sports, etc. So having pictures and videos about winter and the activities revolving around it, really put things into perspectives and help support their learning further.

Using diagrams, charts, and videos can clarify complex concepts and cater to diverse learning styles. They create a dynamic learning environment where students can actively engage and visualize abstract ideas. Incorporating visual aids not only improves communication but also fosters a deeper connection between students and the material being taught. ?????

-Alleviate anxiety -Diminish errors -Grasp attention -Build a bond & connection -Raise awareness -Clarify abstract notions -Contribute to drawing conclusions -Solidify the overall message -Offer legitimacy & credibility As an advice, start thinking of your visual as you start outlining & structuring your content! Sometimes, it can go back as early as topic selection! Engage, Communicate & Lead ???
