you have to convey or accomplish that
and find a digital-visual way to make

VISUAL LITERACY:
Transforming our use of images in ELT
• The ability to construct meaning from
images.
• Our brain is 80-90 % visual.
• We read non-text 60,000 times faster than
text.
• We use visuals to interpret text so we have
to learn how to interpret visuals.
“There is a tendency to think
of visual images
as less important,
less ‘academic’
than text.”
However, recent research
disputes this traditional stance.
