1.3.2.4. Pictures

In Look Here! Visual Aids in Language Teaching, Bowen (1982) introduces some kinds of

pictures such as flash cards, sequence pictures, wall pictures and wall charts, etc. In fact, pictures

of all kinds are considered useful visual aids in language teaching, especially in teaching

vocabulary. They can be used to illustrate very large objects which are not easily brought into the

classroom, for example: an airplane, a car, a washing machine, a typewriter, etc. They are also of

great help for teachers to stimulate students’ imagination and memory of new words. Teachers

can use pictures to clarify the denotation meaning of vocabulary without much explanation.
