Right, speaking of which, there are lot of times when language becomes the barrier in learning and it is still happening today. In the video above, notice that he said that Maths and Science wont even need a language to teach and learn. How true can that be? Well I am sure those symbol and pictures play sufficient role in teaching. I think that sometimes the lack of language comprehension can lead to the use of ICT in classroom in compensating learning. For example, if a child don't know what is an apple and in the case there is no real apple presence in the classroom and an ipad is in hand, here comes Mr Google! to help.
I am fascinated by the idea/concept of using non-verbal learning. However there are some challenges that are faced by teachers in most schools if we are to implement this type of learning.

- Schools have low tech, not up to date high tech devices
- Traditional learning emphasizing on writing and reading/speaking
These 2 problems are huge enough to discourage any teacher who wants to implement this learning method, But true enough, in our asian society or culture, it would be difficult to carry out all these since we are not tech updated and also the emphasis of parents into rote learning.
How would you implement this? Any ideas?
