1.3.2.4.1. Wall pictures and wall charts

According to Bowen (1982: 13):

A wall chart is a large diagram or picture display card. Most wall charts consist ofcombinations of visual and verbal material. Their aim is to give information on topic. A wallpicture, on the other hand, is simply a large illustration of a scene or event, or a set of scenes orevents.

In Visuals for the Language Classroom, Wright and Haleem (1991: 44) also offer a very

simple bur clear definition of wall picture as “Wall pictures illustrate scenes, people or objects and

are large enough to be seen by all the students”.
