The development of animated cartoon sequences showing various kinds of mime and gesture in humorous situations is recommended as a useful teaching aid in language learning.

Some remarks are made about the use of word and picture in education with reference to the theories of Pestalozzi and Komenski. For a related document see FL 000 029. (AF)
