Two Generalizations of Non-linguistic representation in the classroom

  Ò There are several ways in which students can utilize nonlinguistic representations. The use of pictures, graphic representations, kinesthetic activities, physical and technological models, and mental images are just a few strategies that can be used by the student.   Ò When students take advantage of nonlinguistic representations they can build a better foundation of knowledge. Students in the Preproduction and Early Production areas will have an easier time building a physical representation than having to explain it in their own words. On the other hand, students in higher stages of language acquisition should be able to explain it as well as construct models.
