Using Pictures from Magazines by Joep van der Werff

Information compiled by Patricia Lozoya

   The purpose of this article is to show that pictures from magazines are a source of varied classroom activities in the areas of speaking, listening, writing, vocabulary and grammar. I’ll give tips on how to collect and sort suitable pictures and I’ll include several sample activities. Teachers can use the activities as they are presented, or adapt them to fit their needs.
Introduction
Several years ago I was teaching a beginning level class. One student in the group, Juan, seemed particularly shy, he was afraid of making mistakes, and reluctant to participate. One day, I gave each student an unusual picture of a person, and I asked them to describe the people in the pictures. Juan’s photograph showed a young woman swimming with a killer whale in a deep blue sea. Juan came up with a remarkably long story about a woman who had a pet killer whale. When he gave his description, Juan’s classmates were fascinated by his vivid imagination. Juan was surprised and thrilled by his classmates’ appreciation. He instantly lost his inhibitions toward speaking English in class, and he participated actively from then on.
