  1. Classroom Use of Culturally Authentic Images A Practical Approach Michael Bush Brigham Young University Michael_Bush@byu.edu

  2. Approach for Yesterday • Learn about language • Memorize vocabulary • Memorize grammar rules

  3. Education in the Information Age • Humans have learned through sights and sounds for thousands of years. • Images and sounds are compatible with today's students. • How do our students learn today? The textbook!

  4. Big Question • Primacy of text?

  5. Socrates’ view on writing… This discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves.Plato’s “Phaedrus”

  6. Socrates’ view on writing… The specific which you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality. Plato’s “Phaedrus”

  7. History of Communication • A story of humankind bridging time and space with increasing fidelity… • Multimedia (not only text, but images, sounds, and video): A natural step in the evolution of communication and information technology.

  8. Audiovisual Organism • Vision and images were critically important to our survival as a species, along with speech and hearing,” Mary Alice White, Columbia's Teachers' College

  9. “Story” as Medium • People think in terms of stories. They understand the world in terms of stories that they have already understood. New events or problems are understood by reference to old previously understood stories and explained to others by the use of stories. (Roger Schank, Tell me a Story)

  10. Why use pictures? Learning psychology • Multi-modal, multi-sensory presentations • Connections to schemata • Binding • Semantization

  11. Binding Binding is the term I propose to describe the cognitive and affective mental process of linking a meaning to a form. The concept of binding is what language teachers refer to when they insist that a new word ultimately be associated directly with its meaning and not with a translation.Terrell (1986)

  12. Semantization Evidence is mounting that the use of visual representations may precipitate the semantization process. Especially with concrete picturable words (e.g. table, house) the picture serves as an associative aid to constructing the conceptual network that is connected with a word. Pictures not only represent reality but they can, through selective presentation of cues, provide a prototypical meaning. Pictures appear to be importantly implicated in concept formation and in this respect they obviously affect how well we remember verbal material Beheydt (1987, p. 62)

  13. Culturally authentic pictures? • Varying Perceptions of reality • Denotation versus connotation (pain) • Conceptual accuracy • Functional culture (un chariot)

  14. Joy’s study • Vocabulary and culture • Significant differences

  15. Gina’s study • What made the difference? • Think aloud protocols • faire les courses • un chariot • Direct versus indirect

  16. Quand on va au supermarché, on veut un chariot pour transporter les produits.

  17. Les Français aiment ces petits magasins parce qu’ils sont près de chez eux, et aussi parce que les produits sont frais. Beaucoup de personnes préfèrent aller aux petits magasins parce que la qualité est très bonne.

  18. En général, les Français font les courses plus souvent que les Américains.

  19. Current Images Database • Approximately 4,000 photos • France, Canada and Senegal • BYU library electronic archives • High quality PhotoCD

  20. Organizing Images • Framework • Threshold Level • Council of Europe • Database • One approach • Pre-fabrication • Roll your own • Folder structure
