Abstract

The Jean de I'Ours project explores the use of pictures and authentic (non pedagogical) language in foreign language learning/teaching. This project is based on the assumption that pictures can be used in a cognitive way, that they are more than mere entertainment, and that pictures used for communication in language teaching/learning should be more than mere pictograms.
