THE BIG PICTURE

OCTOBER 27. 2011
Today at MEXTESOL in Morelia is the launch of the new young adult / adult coursebook I’ve been working on called THE BIG PICTURE, published by Richmond.
As you can probably tell from the title it has a lot to do with images. But that’s just part of it. I will be giving talks in many places in late 2011 and 2012 to tell you more. Hopefully we’ll coincide somewhere!
Have a look at the Talks section where you can see an abridged version of two talks related to the question of images and visual literacy in THE BIG PICTURE: The Decentralized Classroom and The Digital Image.

Working with Images in Spanish language version
I’m very excited about the Spanish language version of my book “Working with Images”
This will be published by Editorial Edinumen this autumn. The title is “El uso de imágenes como recurso didáctico”.
Here is some information about the title from the Edinumen catalogue (check out page 4)
I will be giving a talk at the Instituto Cervantes’ Annual Conference in Madrid next year. More information to follow
