Flash cards are a good tool for English teachers and learners because they can be fun and motivational and they can be used in different ways. Flash cards can also improve relationships because students need time to talk to each other and discuss.
Teaching via flash cards is an efficient methodology which involves images and words, both related to the same thing or concept. This way of teaching and learning is very visual, and it is not only required to use vision but hearing and the capacity to read as well.
For instance, we can use flascards if we want to do memory activities, drilling activities or word races. Also, it is important to know that they can be used anytime: as a motivating game to start a lesson, as an activity to learn new vocabulary in the L2 or even to improve students' abilities and knowledge.
Now we are going to see an activity which can be very useful, attractive, and motivating for both teachers and students.
Memorise the words
• Select a bunch of flash cards and put them on the floor, so they can see both image and word. Let them read and see the flash cards for two minutes.
• Then, put them all upside down so they can not see the image that represents the word they can read on that side of the flash card.
• Finally, tell each student to pick up a flash card and draw the image that they think that word represents on a piece of paper.
