Which classroom strategy involves groups designing posters and an icon game to represent concepts?

• A. Audio-Lingual Method
• B. Direct Method
• C. Gallery Walk
• D. SDAIE

Answer: (C)

Using a gallery walk style focuses on collaborative creation and visual representation. In this approach, groups design posters that capture key concepts and use icons or symbols to convey meaning. The posters are posted around the room, and students move from display to display, discussing interpretations, asking questions, and comparing ideas with peers. This active, movement-friendly format supports multiple ways of knowing—visual, verbal, and kinesthetic—and gives students ownership over how they demonstrate understanding. It also provides frequent, informal checks for understanding as the teacher circulates and observes which concepts are clear and where students may need more support. The icon-based element helps English learners by providing visual cues that reinforce language, making it easier to grasp and discuss ideas without relying solely on long explanations. In contrast, the other methods emphasize drills, pure immersion in the target language, or specific accommodations for content access, rather than the together-in-one-room, poster-and-icons collaborative activity described here.
