Description

This presentation is sponsored by Cambridge University Press & Assessment

With every passing year, visual literacy becomes ever more important. Combining the need to interpret and evaluate visual media with the critical skill of formulating and conveying ideas in an effective way (more complex in a foreign language) can prove vital for both academic and professional success. The presenter will use examples of published materials to show how we can build visual literacy and oracy (the foundational skillset for verbal communication).
