Introduction Our Presentation on use of Visuals The teacher needs to have a wide range of

resources in the classroom for hisher studentsacute development in the learning process And these resources must include pictures

Things that we see have an enormous importance in affecting and giving us information The emphasis has to be made on giving the students ldquoa reasonrdquo for listening reading writing or speaking Visuals elements are in this way a very good ldquoreasonrdquo in order to motivate students to interact with the foreign language because they can clearly ldquoseerdquo the language in use by means of meaningful elements which call their attention and at the same time motivate them to use the language in different ways Moreover the activities in which there are several skills practiced or in which several things can be done are more suitable for using them in the classroom than others in which there is only one possible task for students

What is Visuals

Visuals use for better understanding for listeners Visuals means pointing charts tables films pictures and the like Visuals should use properly where it fit Otherwise it will confuse the audience

Use of VisualsVisual aids can be used to bull organize your lesson or presentation bull provide interest and motivation for your audience bull increase retention of information and learning bull save instructional time and preparation time

because they can be reused bull aid communication bull explain the relationships of parts to the whole bull clarify something difficult complicated or very large bull stress important points

What are the Visuals and usePowerPoint (or equivalent)Microsoft PowerPoint is probably now the most commonly used form of visual

aid Used well it can really help you in your presentation used badly however it can have the opposite effect The general principles are

Do Dontuse a big enough font (minimum 20pt) Make it so small you cant read itkeep the background simple Use a fussy background imageuse animations when appropriate But dont over-do the animation -

it gets distractingmake things visual Use endless slides of bulleted

lists that all look the same

Overhead projector

Overhead projector slidestransparencies are displayed on the overhead projector (OHP) - a very useful tool found in most lecture and seminar rooms The OHP projects and enlarges your slides onto a screen or wall without requiring the lights to be dimmed

White or black board White or black boards can be very useful to

help explain the sequence of ideas or routines particularly in the sciences Use them to clarify title or to record our key points as we introduce our presentation Rather than expecting the audience to follow our spoken description of an experiment or process write each stage on the board including any complex terminology or precise references to help our audience take accurate notes

Paper handouts Handouts are incredibly useful Use a handout if your

information is too detailed to fit on a slide or if you want your audience to have a full record of your findings Consider the merits of passing round your handouts at the beginning middle and end of a presentation Given too early and they may prove a distraction Given too late and your audience may have taken too many unnecessary notes Given out in the middle and your audience will inevitably read rather than listen One powerful way of avoiding these pitfalls is to give out incomplete handouts at key stages during your presentation You can then highlight the missing details vocally encouraging your audience to fill in the gaps

Flip chart A flip chart is a large pad of paper on a stand

It is a very useful and flexible way of recording information during your presentation - you can even use pre-prepared sheets for key points Record information as you go along keeping one main idea to each sheet Flip back through the pad to help you recap your main points Use the turning of a page to show progression from point to point Remember to make your writing clear and readable and your diagrams as simple as possible

Video (DVD or VHS)

Video gives us a chance to show stimulating visual information Use video to bring movement pictures and sound into our presentation Always make sure that the clip is directly relevant to our content You should know audience what to look for Avoid showing any more film than topic need

Artifacts or props Sometimes it can be very useful to use artifacts

or props when making a presentation If you bring an artifact with you make sure that the object can be seen and be prepared to pass it round a small group or move to different areas of a large room to help your audience view it in detail Remember that this will take time and that when an audience is immersed in looking at an object they will find it hard to listen to your talk Conceal large props until you need them they might distract your audiences attention

Visuals (charts or diagrams)

Line charts are best for showing relative values changes over time and comparing two or three items Graphs that plot more than three variables however can overwhelm viewers to the point of confusion

Bar charts are best for comparing specific statistics or illustrating easily-comparable data

Pie charts are best for comparing segments to one another and to the whole All sections must measure the same variable (eg dollars or percentages) Any section that contains less than five percent should be grouped with others like it into a category marked lsquoothersrsquo

Graphsbull Graphs display relationships between two or more sets of data

1048707 Use the horizontal axis to depict time 1048707 Limit the number of lines on one graph 1048707 When using more than one line differential the lines by design or color 1048707 Use a key or label to identify each line 1048707 Keep the vertical and horizontal axes proportionate

Tables

Table visuals basically use for showing any critical issues difference among two things etc

Picture

Sometimes words canrsquot express the actual thing But a picture can tell lots of things Any deep feelings critical situation moment of dying or birthing joy and sadness canrsquot fully express in millions word So on those situation use of a appropriate picture is the best

Key principles Chunk informationmdashput similar materials together in

manageable sensible chunks If information must be split over a number of slides or screens consider reducing the size of the chunks you have

Organize the contentmdashuse basic principles such as simple to complex known to unknown knowledge to application Position any image as close to the relevant content as possible

Relevancemdashbe sure that the information or visual that you are using is relevant to the topic Be able to give a rational reason for something to be in the visual Just because the technology exists isnrsquot a good enough reason to use a visual Over-use of bulleted slides is a common student complaint

Key principles Importancemdashplace the most important

information early in your slides or visuals Call attention to it in some way Be sure it really is an important idea to include

Appropriatenessmdashconsider the audience receiving the information and the material being presented

Video (DVD or VHS)

Video gives us a chance to show stimulating visual information Use video to bring movement pictures and sound into our presentation Always make sure that the clip is directly relevant to our content You should know audience what to look for Avoid showing any more film than topic need

Artifacts or props Sometimes it can be very useful to use artifacts

or props when making a presentation If you bring an artifact with you make sure that the object can be seen and be prepared to pass it round a small group or move to different areas of a large room to help your audience view it in detail Remember that this will take time and that when an audience is immersed in looking at an object they will find it hard to listen to your talk Conceal large props until you need them they might distract your audiences attention

Visuals (charts or diagrams)

Line charts are best for showing relative values changes over time and comparing two or three items Graphs that plot more than three variables however can overwhelm viewers to the point of confusion

Bar charts are best for comparing specific statistics or illustrating easily-comparable data

Pie charts are best for comparing segments to one another and to the whole All sections must measure the same variable (eg dollars or percentages) Any section that contains less than five percent should be grouped with others like it into a category marked lsquoothersrsquo

Graphsbull Graphs display relationships between two or more sets of data

1048707 Use the horizontal axis to depict time 1048707 Limit the number of lines on one graph 1048707 When using more than one line differential the lines by design or color 1048707 Use a key or label to identify each line 1048707 Keep the vertical and horizontal axes proportionate

Tables

Table visuals basically use for showing any critical issues difference among two things etc

Picture

Sometimes words canrsquot express the actual thing But a picture can tell lots of things Any deep feelings critical situation moment of dying or birthing joy and sadness canrsquot fully express in millions word So on those situation use of a appropriate picture is the best

Key principles Chunk informationmdashput similar materials together in

manageable sensible chunks If information must be split over a number of slides or screens consider reducing the size of the chunks you have

Organize the contentmdashuse basic principles such as simple to complex known to unknown knowledge to application Position any image as close to the relevant content as possible

Relevancemdashbe sure that the information or visual that you are using is relevant to the topic Be able to give a rational reason for something to be in the visual Just because the technology exists isnrsquot a good enough reason to use a visual Over-use of bulleted slides is a common student complaint

Key principles Importancemdashplace the most important

information early in your slides or visuals Call attention to it in some way Be sure it really is an important idea to include

Appropriatenessmdashconsider the audience receiving the information and the material being presented

Visual effectivenessmdashkeep your visuals simple so that they have the most impact

White or black board White or black boards can be very useful to

help explain the sequence of ideas or routines particularly in the sciences Use them to clarify title or to record our key points as we introduce our presentation Rather than expecting the audience to follow our spoken description of an experiment or process write each stage on the board including any complex terminology or precise references to help our audience take accurate notes

Paper handouts Handouts are incredibly useful Use a handout if your

information is too detailed to fit on a slide or if you want your audience to have a full record of your findings Consider the merits of passing round your handouts at the beginning middle and end of a presentation Given too early and they may prove a distraction Given too late and your audience may have taken too many unnecessary notes Given out in the middle and your audience will inevitably read rather than listen One powerful way of avoiding these pitfalls is to give out incomplete handouts at key stages during your presentation You can then highlight the missing details vocally encouraging your audience to fill in the gaps
