This blog post discusses how knowledge of the context of an image can radically change how a person interprets its subject matter and significance. It advocates for utilizing close looking strategies, or examining the image in detail and then hypothesizing the context and reason for the image. While this post is not written for the language learning classroom, it would be useful for those working with learners who are interpreting photos or documents of target culture products and practices, describing images in the target language, and building critical thinking and research skills.
