    Study Notes

    Conventional Learning Resources

    • Instructional materials stimulate and facilitate learning, and many media and styles of visual presentation are useful for language learners.
    • All audio-visual materials have positive contributions to language learning if used at the right time and place.
    • Learners use their eyes and ears in the learning process, with eyes playing a basic role.

    Diorama

    • A diorama is a small scene created with layers of materials, depicting a concept or theme.
    • It can display a historical time period, nature scene, or fictional situation.
    • To develop a diorama, choose a concept, research the subject, make a rough sketch, and gather supplies.

    Nature Table

    • A nature table is a table containing objects or scenes related to the current season, festival, or ecosystem.

    Writing Board

    • A writing board can display information written with chalk (chalkboard or blackboard) or special pens (whiteboard).
    • It is still the most commonly used visual aid.

    Flip Chart

    • A flip chart is a large tablet or pad of paper, usually on a tripod or stand.

    Zigzag Board

    • A zigzag board is a multi-board series of three or four rectangular boards, joined by hinges.
    • Each board can be of a different type (e.g., whiteboard, chalkboard, fannel board).
    • The size of the boards depends on the intended use.

    Wall Display

    • A wall display is a collection of items and materials on a classroom wall, used to convey information to the community.
    • It can consist of students' own work and is a tried and tested educational method.

    Rope and Pole Display Board

    • A rope and pole display board consists of two parallel, horizontal poles tied loosely together with rope.
    • Visual aids like posters can be pinned to the rope.
    • This type of display board is useful when there are few solid walls for displaying information.

    Guidelines for Designing Conventional Instructional Materials

    • Unity: use one idea per visual aid and include a headline.
    • Simplicity: keep ideas and relationships simple and easy to recall, avoiding clutter.
    • Legibility: make letters big and readable for the audience.
    • Consistency: use the same type style and art style.
    • Clarity: avoid small type and all caps.

    Digital Learning Resources

    Using Mobile Phone and the QR Code

    • A QR code is a code created by Denso-Wave in 1994, connecting the physical world with the electronic world.
    • QR stands for Quick Response, allowing fast decoding of information.
    • QR codes are popular in Japan and used by companies to attach to their products, providing URLs or product information.
    • To read QR codes, you need a mobile phone with a camera and a QR code reader/scanner application.
