Step 10: Prepare Visual Aids
Visual aids are an effective way to enhance the communication and learning
process. Associating vocabulary with tangible objects makes them easier to
memorize and recall. Examples of which include pictures, videos, and graphic
organizers, to name a few. A short exercise that any learner can carry out is by
first identifying all the objects in their room in the language they are learning.
Afterward, they can label them with the corresponding words using sticky notes.
These visual aids force the learner to remember them each time they see them.
Each object that is successfully committed to memory will have the sticky note
removed until there are no more notes left. This little activity keeps learning fun
and interesting. It is also an effective way to strengthen and reinforce a learner's
ability to remember and recall vocabulary. This is especially true for spatial
learners, although it applies to all learners with different learning styles as well.
