A Visual Manifesto for Language Teaching

 

In this talk, we will discuss the evolution of the image and the significant role it can play in our lives if we are active participants in what we see and what we create. Through the deconstruction of a short film made specifically to illustrate this concept, we will explain a new visual manifesto for this age of the image. We will offer guidance on how we can become active learners and creators in this new world of images.
