Visual aids 2.

If a student from a tropical country for example ,has never seen HAIL or SLUSH or if as can often be the case that a student may have no English whatsoever then am I correct in thinking that a picture along with describing text can be a good way to go.

Secondly, pronunciation and spelling of the words listed in my previous message, I am of the opinion that practice and patience will provide the best results. Any thoughts ans sugestions on this would be helpful.

Many thanks.

Visual aids are of great benefit to any classroom. Not only do they contextualize, (give a word a 'real life' image) they help the learning process by enabling the student to associate the word to a picture. In my opinion, there is no point in learning a word without learning its pronunciation.
