The Power of Visual Aids in Learning

On this podcast, I talk about the power of visual aids in learning. If you're a parent, I really encourage adding visual aids into the learning process for your child. Visuals have the power to reduce fear and anxiety. When you see colorful, cute, interesting images, it makes the process of learning so much more fun and exciting. The senses are stimulated and from my experience, it has a tremendous affect on retention and recall. I am such a proponent of stress-free healthy learning because when a learner is happy, he or she can be open to absorbing more information and new ideas. Visual aids really do have the power to do that.

In addition, the great thing about visuals aids is that there are so many ways to use them for maximum outcome. It can be presented as a way to elicit information clearly to your child and then used as a way to encourage interaction together. When they see the image again, they can remember the experience and everything else that was part of that fun activity. This is especially helpful for younger children. Visuals for older children can be used to help them understand dense information and remove frustration of learning the "unknown".

Head over to BILINGUAL AVENUE to listen to this full episode, some advices on how to incorporate your own visuals into your child's learning, teaching techniques I've used myself, and definitely check out Marianna's other amazing compilation of resources for parents. I promise you won't be disappointed!

The English Student, Using visual aids as a tool for learning in bilingual children
I was very honored to be asked by Marianna Du Bosq, the creator of Bilingual Avenue to be featured on her podcast. Marianna does AMAZING work for parents trying to raise bilingual/multilingual children. If you're a parent stuck on a language journey with your child, I strongly suggest checking out and following Marianna's work. I'm truly in awe of how much time she has put in to provide an assortment of relevant resources to help parents. You'll find things like, "Will I confused my child if I read books to them in more than one language?" or "The power of music in language learning." Marianna spent years in the classroom teaching English language learners and best of all, a bilingual parent herself!  Gaining knowledge through experts and those who have experience in raising bilingual children can make it a lot less stressful on you as a parent, especially knowing you're not alone!
