The main reasons for using visual resources in bilingual
teaching are the didactics, following the main focus and
principles of CLIL teaching. This is done by using visual
language as a substitute for the mother language of the
students. - Avoid using the mother language - Avoid literal
translations - Make adaptions to cater for the different ability
levels of students (including areas of both comprehension and
oral language) - Use materials with very little text
(particularly in the beginning)
