Strategy 46: Multimedia Presentations

• "Students benefit when teachers use multimedia resources in presenting lessons because such media add context to the language and the lessons. Students using multimedia resources to gain access to information in multiple languages are supported in their learning." (Herell 2016, pg. 286)

Strategy 4: Visual Scaffolding

• "The language used in instruction is made more understandable by displaying [visual media], that allow students to connect spoken English words to visual images." (Herell 2016, pg. 38)
