Introduction to Picture Prompts
1
1.1 What Picture Prompts contains
Each Picture Prompts book contains:
Notes
• a description of ways of using games and game-like activities in foreign
language teaching;
• a menu of 20-30 standard activities which can be used with the specific picture
cards;
• photocopiable sets of pictures to use around a theme (eg Clothes), or to provide
practice in a specific language area (eg Phrasal Verbs or Adjectives);
• instructions for using the pictures, including:
- vocabulary list;
- useful language;
- suitable standard activities;
- additional activities;
• spinners to photocopy and cut out for use with games;
• blank boards to photocopy and use to make your own games.
Each book thus provides a rich resource of ideas and photocopiable materials which can
be used with a wide range of age groups and language levels.

1.2 Using games in the language classroom

Notes
Games and game-like activities provide excellent ways of allowing learners to practise
language in a relaxed, creative way. They encourage the repetition of key language
items in a way which is motivating and challenging. New lexical items and grammatical
structures can be used within familiar game-like formats, thus providing the slower
learners with support and guidance, while allowing the faster ones to use their
creativity.
The practice provided through Picture Prompts extends that contained in the course
book, and allows mixed ability classes to work in groups at their own pace.

1.3 Preparing the picture sheets

The picture sheets can be prepared in different ways:
Notes
• They can be photocopied onto paper, for use as handouts or worksheets.
• They can be enlarged, for use as flashcards or posters.
• They can be copied onto card, and cut out, to make individual cards for use in
games.
• Text can be added beneath the pictures, or on the back.
• To protect the pictures, they can be copied onto paper, glued onto card, and then
covered with acetate. .
• They can be photocopied onto acetate to provide OHP transparencies.
• The visuals can be combined or grouped to· make display materials, or to make
a picture dictionary or topic reference book.
• The blank masters can be used to create new sets of visuals, and to make
matching text cards and new games.

1.4 Using the picture sheets

Notes
The visuals can be used to:
• introduce a new word or phrase;
• serve as a prompt for spoken language in a practice or review activity;
• serve as a reminder of the meaning of a written word or phrase;
• provide the starting point for introducing or revising related vocabulary;
• illustrate a structure, often in combination with other pictures;
• provide a series of examples to illustrate a teaching point;
• provide random prompts, when used in conjunction with a spinner or die, for
practice or assessment.

5
1.5 Language presentation
Notes Introduce new language, using the visuals as flashcards, or on the OHP. Provide plenty
of time for the language to be heard and practised before you ask any student to speak
alone. Chorus work and class repetition are useful here. Encourage the learners to
experiment with their voices: they can repeat the words in different ways. eg
emphatically, softly, angrily, questioningly, etc. This helps to avoid boredom. and
encourages good intonation and pronunciation.
Learners who are good at relating sounds and visuals will find that they can easily
associate language items with the illustrations. Others may find it useful to see the
written form as well, so introduction of this should not be delayed. At this stage.
attention should be drawn to differences between pronunciation of the written form in
English and the students' own language. In this way, these items can be used later as
production models by the students.

1.6 Practice activities and games

Once the learners are familiar with the new vocabulary items, individual or group
Notes
activities and games can be set up to practise them. Such activities will provide
opportunities to practise the items in context, and in association with specific language
structures and functions. This will help them transfer the language into their long-term
memories.
During the course of an activity, you should help the students with any lexical items or
pronunciation features which they are unsure of.
Section 3 (page 9) sets out a collection of standard activity-types which can be used
with any of the picture sheets in this book.
The language notes opposite each page of pictures give activities which are designed
specifically for that visual set.

1.6.1 Varying the activities

Most of the standard activities are based on well-known games and may be familiar to
your class. Younger learners are often very good at making up their own variations,
while older ones may rely on you to suggest these. However, adults usually respond
well, as they can practise actively without using the language 'in public'.
The important thing is that the learners are practising the language in an active,
meaningful way, and are also having fun. Some of the games may generate noise; others
are quite quiet. Some are competitive; others require co-operation.
You may wish to decide how to encourage weaker students in the competitive games.
These can often be made into exciting team events, using mixed ability teams, with a
time element. If this involves physical movement, make sure there are no hazards in the
classroom!
For extended practice, you may wish to get the students to move round the room after
each game, changing partners and groups. Most games last between 5 and 15 minutes,
although the writing activities generally take longer.
Allow time at the end of a game to discuss difficulties, and ideas for varying or
improving the game. There may be ways of adapting it to reflect the students' own
interests more closely.

1.7 Assessment

Notes 1.7. 1 Self-assessment

Activities and games based on picture cards are ideal for encouraging the learners to
assess their own progress. Once they are sure of particular language items, they can
discard these particular cards and use more unfamiliar ones. The cards can be used
together later for a test.

1.7.2 Teacher assessment

This can take place:
• during a teacher-controlled activity with the OHP;
• by observing individuals and pairs at work;
• by joining in with groups or individuals during an activity;
• by providing individuals or groups with a worksheet, based on the same visuals.
Such feedback provides information for future reteaching, or for planning future work.

1.8 Grammar practice

Collections of Picture Prompts such as those in the Adjectives, and the Prepositions and
Notes
Directions books, can also be used to practise specific grammar patterns, as well as for
general communication activities.

1.8. 1 Adjectives
The pictures can be used to practise the:
• order of adjectives when more than one is used to describe a noun;
• formation of comparatives and superlatives;
• relationship between adjectives and adverbs.

1.8.2 Prepositions and Directions

The pictures in this book can be used to practise:
• difference in choice of prepositions between L 1 and English;
• use of preposition and article.

7
SECTION
Using the Pictures
2
The pictures contained in this book can be used singly, or in a variety of combinations,
to support work at different stages of the language programme. They can also be used
with students of different abilities, needs and ages.

2.1 Use in class

The visuals can be used:
Notes
• with the whole class, to introduce vocabulary and concepts;
• with individual students and groups, to practise or revise specific language items.
They can be:
• combined in many different ways to illustrate relationships between different
areas of vocabulary;
• used in random groups to introduce variety and an element of challenge;
• introduced singly or in groups as the starting point for using language creatively.
Function cards (page 54) can be used in combination with the visuals to encourage the
transfer of learning from one context to another.
Board games (page 54) involving the visuals and/or dice and spinners, can be used to
set up group activities which are simple or demanding.

2.2 Using the OHP: why

If available, an OHP is particularly useful for introducing new vocabulary. It can also
Notes
be used for whole-class work at various stages in the language programme. It can be
used to:
• ensure that the students understand the concepts underlying the activity;
• review previously-taught language items before introducing new, associated vocabulary;
• present new language;
• provide teacher-led practice of new language;
• assess whether the new language has been well enough learned for the students to
go on to group work activities;
• play whole-class games;
• demonstrate the rules of a game before it is played in groups;
• invite suggestions from the students on ways of using language items in different
situations;
encourage activities which require the students to make creative use of the language
they have learned;
• organise feedback on an activity;
• assess learning;
• revise items which were learned earlier in the programme.

2.3 Using the OHP: how

There are many ways of using the pictures on the OHP. Here are several, which will add
Notes
variety and interest to your lesson.
• Move the pictures slowly into focus and ask the students to name them.
• Flash the picture up. If it is not named, repeat more slowly.
• Reveal sections of the picture bit by bit.
• Cut the picture into sections, and put on the OHP in random order, and/or upside
down. Ask the students to reassemble in the correct order.
• Use as silhouettes.
• Use a keyhole shape cut out of card as a frame. Play 'Through the Keyhole'
guessing games.
• Colour the pictures using instructions from the class.
• Add overlays for items such as the price of clothes.
• Use for whole-class games such as Noughts and Crosses [3]; What's on the Card?
[1]; Kim's Game [6]; True or False?[14]; and Guessing Game [13].
