Strategy #7 Photographed Vocabulary




What: Photographed Vocabulary
How: Photographed vocabulary can be used to give students a visual of the word or phrase they are learning. Instead of giving the students lists of vocabulary in English and Spanish, students can learn the vocabulary in the TL by using pictures or photographs to aid them. The students will be able to associate words with images and this ill also help with the elimination of drill and kill as well as just straight translation between the languages.
When: At the beginning of the Unit or before a Unit begins, students can bring in pictures to represent the words on the vocabulary lists and photographs could be taken in class to represent emotions and some actions.
Why: This would eliminate the use of English by allowing students to remain in the TL with the help of pictures and photographs.
