Hello everyone,
An important principle of Dual-coding Theory is that presenting information in both visual and verbal form can enhance memory and recognition (Paivio, 1971). In traditional teaching, it is difficult to arouse students’ interest in learning by teachers’ rigid explanation of screen contents.
The Dual-coding Theory focuses on how to make teachers show teaching content more effectively and how to make students understand and accept knowledge more efficiently in classroom teaching. With the continuous development of information technology, video and pictures have become the most important ways to influence people’s reading and learning, and deeply influence people’s habit of receiving and learning information. Therefore, in my expectation of future teaching, I hope to combine the main body design and knowledge visualization of videos to promote learners’ language learning. In the process of language teaching, teachers can fully combine the video (film, music or documentary clips) to strengthen the relevant knowledge points in teaching. The combination of subtitles and content in videos enables simultaneous sensory stimulation of pictures, speech and subtitles, which maximally helps foreign language learners to understand learning materials and acquire language forms.
In my opinion, the Dual-coding Theory has injected new vitality into the traditional teaching model, greatly changed the teaching methods and means, and accelerated the transformation from traditional education to modern education.
Best,

Hi, Sheng Li
It is commonly acknowledged that people are visual animals. Implementing Dual-coding Theory into educational practice satisfies students’ needs of multi-media through their learning process. Driven by curiosity, learners could maintain a relatively high enthusiasm for learning.
