Providing visual resources as a way of offering communication support
The following item is a communication fan which is designed to support ESL students in the classroom to break communication barriers. Although these resources are of great benefit to working towards communicating verbally, it is important that teachers and students do not come reliant on these resources as a sole means for communication as ESL students must also be supported to begin to communicate verbally as well as non-verbally.
