An amazing exhibition of language education at Supanova Comic Con and Gaming in Adelaide!

Stu Blair

Supanova Comic Con and Gaming at the Adelaide Showgrounds on November 12 and 13 was fantastic!

Thanks to all visitors that attended my exhibition of world comic book linguistics.

During the exhibition run, I discussed my thesis investigations of the literature with language teaching professionals and enthusiasts, and using comic books as a communication medium in the second language classroom, specifically a new language teaching class I launched at the School of Languages Languages Alive program earlier this year. (see image below).

Stuart is seen here bringing dynamism to the second language teaching classroom at the School of Languages in Adelaide. He created a new class, Language in Action, teaching teachers and students how to use comic books as a communication medium in language education.
