IIowever, most educational systems cater to thelogic;]l, analytical 'left hrain' :lnd lInwisely phase out the imaginalclements vcry soon. 5til1lulation of the visualization ahilities res ident inthe milhl is generally offerce only to the youngest learner,;, if }, t all.Giving so llluch emphasis to verbal thinking 1 1 l t ' I I l S that ,;,'e deprivelearners of a valuable asset for their dcvelopment. Inactive, ou r naturalability to use mental images and to develop ou r imagination greatlydeclines with age, In ou r educational systems words and numbers havepushed imagery 'Ollt of the picture', alld in the process much is lost.'.Vhen llsed appropriately, im;lges can provide a strong impetus fo rlearning. On e of the reasons (hat this is so is that they are related wcIcati'.'!!.), an d to o ur ~ l l l o t i o ! l s ; a ill I [hcsc relationships can greatlyempower karning. Neviilc (191l9:93 -4) suggests that simple exercisesbe used to retrain the in1:l;;iiling, 'which, like language, significantlyaffects the child's ability to lean -" to develop peer ;lIld adult r e l a t i ~ n -ships, to pursue goals an d te experiencc pleasure': Introduced inlcaching progr,lilllrteS, these cXl'rciscs can hring henefits on diverselevels; 'The children's improved concentration an d ability to visualizeJr e a worthwhile goal in lhcm:dves . Besides that, they ca n be e x p l o i ~for more effective teaching of the curriclilum'. (An ex ercise for develop i ng visuJlizatioll skills can fOlilld in Appendix A on page 277.)

    ViwaEzation is invoived in d;t'), dreams ;lnd fantasy and, as such, in a!eft-hrainvorld is subject to ha d press. As a gllided process, however,

Campos au d Gonzalez (1995)present research carried ou t in ther9905 which further supports theidea that creativity is influenced significantiy by imaging ~ l b i l i t )

    Like creativity, generalme\ltnl ability (as mea sured by IQ scores) hasbeen shown to increase through a visualization techniquc called imagestreaming, developed by \X1enger. It consists of starting an 'imagestream' of free associations in yo m mind an d descrihing thclll aloud rosOIlleone or recording them. As several d ffercnt parts of your brain arcbeing used together, a 'pole bridging' effect is produced, an d at SOIllepoint creative discoveries or solutions to problems can be forthcoming.(For further discussion, see !v1lll'phcy 199fL )

    16 Visualizati()lI: Lllllguage leal'llillt; wit" the lIIilld's eyeimaginal representation t-hat contains the affective aspects. In theirextensive report on the hemispheric speci,llization of the brain, Springerand Deutsch (] ~ 9 3 : 1 conclude thilt there is good reason to believethat the right hemisphere is dominant in 'both the processing ofemotional information :Jnd in the production of emotional expressions'.Quoting Bowd, they offer a pllssiblc expbnation for this: 'emotionalprocessing involves str,1(egies and functions for which the right hemisphere is slIperior: strategies termed nonverhal, synthetic integrative,holistic, and Gestalt, and functions such as pattern perception, visuospatial organization, and vis/lal illlagillg' (Springer and Deutsch1993:20T; emphasis added).

    Language learning, of course, deals with words; words arc notencoded in isolation in our brains. They nrc present there with many,many nssociations ,lnd images - visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, p l e a s ~ 1 I l t ,IInpicnsam '" - which play an important role in the learning process.Stevick stresses the diversity of the dimensions of an im;lge andconcludes tklt 'the S/lCctr1llll ol lIo/werba/ melllory itellls that arcrelev;lnt to bngu,lge teaching is very hro,ld, incillding particlliarly itemsof purpose and emotion' (19H(,: 1()2).

    We could say that circular rel;nionship exists between imagery and~ f f e c t . Images arc saturated with affect, but in turn mental imagery caninfluence our .lffective states and development. Both directions areimportant (or bngu,lge learning. This bond between affect and imageryin our mcntal processes points to the lIsefnlness of incorporatingvisu:1lization into an affective appro,Kh to language learning. Whenposirive emotions arc involved, \c;lrning is reinforced, and an easy wayto h :ng about an associatioll of emotion nnd -language is throughimages. \'(/ords arc nll:rel),

Drose an d Allen (r994) comment on how imagery hasalso been shown to increase retclltion on the sentence level.

    Students can be tallght to make mental flash cards to help themassimilate vocabulary. Especially with languages such as English whichar e no t spelled phonetically, it is very llseful to be able to picture theword itself and, if possible, an image associated with it. Revell andNorll1:1n describe an illteresting NLI> spelling technique which incorpo-rates visualization. Write the word on the board high enough so learnershave to look up, the natural position of th e eyes when visualizing. Havestudents take a mell!al picture of the word an d then close their eyes andsec it. Nexi the)' write it down from memory. These steps can berepeated until the word is mastered; if one part of a word createsproblems, they can imagine that part bigger (Revell an d Norman1997: .P)RehearsalMcl.aughlin (1990: I l5) points ou t that for complex cognitIve skills,such as those involved in language learning, to become automatic an dthus free attention for ne w learning, practice is a necessary activity: 'Askill must be practiced again and again and again, until no attention isrequired for its performance'. On e type of practice for a secondlanguage would be to repeat verb conjugations or do gnlInmar exer-cises. Tliis type of practice can lead to greater accuracy but may notaffect fluency at all.

They can deal with Iif:ltigue an d boredoll1 by a visualisation in which they are irefreshed and energised. They can deal with depression an d Ifrustration hy a fantasy in which these emotions arc symbolically transformed into . hcir opposites.

    Drawing on the work of Assagioli and psychosynthesis, \X/hitmore(I9S6) describes ways to help learners recognize their feelings an drecondition those that arc no t positive through a structured use ofimagery. This type elf visualization can provide support for developingseveral of Gardner's Illultiple intelligences, especially the interpersonalan d intra persona I.

    1\ basic usc of vi sualization in this sense is to help students learn toleave their problems and worries .1t the door to the classroom. If theyarc centrud, learning will he Illnch easier. 1\ simple centring exercisewould he:
