Typically, flow charts include icons showing particular processes or steps, and arrows indicating paths. Flow charts are graphical depictions of processes or relationships. Graphic organizers are visual frameworks to help the learner make connections between concepts. Visual aids are often the backbone for think aloud activities, presentations, evaluative and analytical exhibits and a researcher's data buddy when and after tabulating results of any study. Students can also be asked to produce visual aids and use it as the tool for an oral presentation. For example, a picture or a painting can be shown to students to elicit an interpretive response of what the artist was trying to say through his art. Depending on the level of language proficiency, visual aids can be used to elicit different levels of cognitive responses.
Scaffolding includes the use of visual aids which aims at clarifying and understanding.
The ultimate goal of scaffolding is the student reaching or achieving the desired status of being an independent and capable learner. Ultimately, the services are terminated according to the student's ability at tackling work independently and the student will only seek help when and if necessary. Gradually, the type of scaffolding activity extended to the ELL is of a more independent type of activity. The services extended must be coupled with monitoring and observation and services must include changing the type of scaffolding support activity to suit the changes or improvement made by the ELL. However, it should not stop at this point. Scaffolding activities are those support services extended to an ELL to help develop and improve the language ability. Visual aids can take in many different forms to support learning.
