Six authentic speaking activities using imagery​

Length: 45 minutes
Audience focus: Teachers of adult learners, Freelance teachers, Teachers of adolescent leaners

Images and mental imagery are highly generative resources in ELT. We are highly receptive to new images (vision), and carry with us a bank of images that reflect our experiences (visualization). This workshop presents six transferable activities based on content in NGL Life second edition.
The activities use images to: inspire student projects, aid creative output, practise grammar in an authentic context, effect more meaningful personalisation tasks, and develop critical thinking skills.
