About the Course

Using visuals is an effective, research-based method for teaching English language learners (ELLs) as well as their fellow classmates. Visuals support essential information and put classwork into a context that can make learning more understandable and comprehensible. Visuals can help lower learners' affective filter by relating to personal experiences.

This course is appropriate for all levels of teachers.  Teacher librarians, instructional coaches, and administrators are invited to join us as well.

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Establish the why of using visual aids in the classroom for ELLs and all students.
  • Demonstrate how visuals and background knowledge can enhance vocabulary and academic language.
  • Use a variety of formative and summative assessments to scaffold student learning.
  • Implement social-emotional learning strategies to help their students succeed.
  • Define and implement a culturally responsive classroom.
  • Grade(s): Kindergarten 1st Grade 2nd Grade 3rd Grade 4th Grade 5th Grade 6th Grade 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade 10th Grade 11th Grade 12th Grade Elementary K-5 Secondary 6-12

This was a great class, with good ideas that are easy to implement. All the ideas and learning are beneficial to all learners. The assignments were spread out enough to be able to get everything done by the due dates.
Peter Russo
This has been an incredibly impactful course that has transformed the way I approach language instruction. The course provided practical, hands-on strategies for integrating visual aids into lessons, making content more accessible and engaging for ELL students. I loved the emphasis on culturally responsive visuals, which I know will help my students feel more connected and supported in their learning. The examples and resources shared were immediately applicable, and I feel equipped with new tools to boost comprehension and vocabulary retention in my classroom. This course has truly enriched my teaching practice and empowered me to create a more inclusive learning environment.
