Using images in class might make teachers`lives easier. In the past we would take a lot of flascards to class in order to have some visual input.
I came across flickriver via Nik`s technology blog.
What I did in class
- I used it to revise "weather" vocabulary, students were asked to describe the pictures
Other options
- The teacher could use the pictures to present vocabulary;
- as a lead-in to reading, listening tasks;
- picture dictation.
