The Role of Visuals in Promoting Self-Learning of Grammatical Concepts

Bushra Saadoon Mohammed Alnoori

Abstract

English is taught as a second language in almost all non-native countries across the world, and from early childhood in many countries. By the time the learners reach the college level, they learn to communicate in English enough to make themselves intelligible and use English for functional purpose regarding all the four language skills. However, it is observed that their grammatical concepts are not very clear and they lack confidence especially regarding the use of tenses. Several methods and techniques of teaching tenses have been tried out till date and new ideas emerge constantly. This study explores the use of visuals for clarification of tenses and their uses. The subjects were fourth year Iraqi college students. Results showed that visuals are extremely useful for promoting the self-learning of the use of English tenses in case of college level students.

Key words – self-learning, grammatical concepts, use of tenses, visuals, time-lines
