A wonderful exhibition opening!
It was a great opportunity to showcase the influence of cognitive linguistics on comic books and music to the greater Adelaide community.
A big shoutout to my support crew for their assistance at the event!
The first Saturday in May is Free Comic Book Day, everyone, a global initiative celebrating literature, and here in Adelaide, during a tour of Adelaide's comic book stores, I spoke about comic books being a powerful medium for relaying a political or social message to a readership of any age and their influence on global society, specifically in the second language classroom using my work with students studying French language and culture learning about la bande dessinée franco-belge as an example.
It was a fun day to be sure engaging with the greater Adelaide community and of course, increasing one's collection of resource material!
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.
