Using film, images, charts and graphs to promote critical thinking

Inhalte

There are many positive reasons why educators should include visual elements in their teaching materials. However, students often fail to get the full benefit from the films, images, charts and graphs that educators present, so often they remain an underexploited resource.

In this practical session, we will demonstrate a number of ways teachers can exploit media such as short films, visual images, charts and graphs to encourage students to reflect, cooperate, and employ various critical thinking skills effectively so that visuals become a tool to promote active learning.

Trainer: Jon Wright is a teacher trainer, educational consultant, exam writer and examiner with over 35 years of experience. He has written over 20 course books and resource books for publishers such as Oxford University Press. Heinle, DELTA publishing, dtv, Cornelsen and HarperCollins Cobuild. Research interests include active learning, innovative teaching methods, learner independence, materials design and Content and Language Integrated Learning.
