Abstract
In light of research to give voice to the voiceless through image-as-stimulation for reflection (Freire, 1970; Pink, 2002), I focus on visual pedagogy in the language learner classroom (Britsch, 2010). I will describe pre-service teachers' reflections on using photography to elicit ideas about "American culture" from English language learners. Early findings suggest visual pedagogy in teacher training is useful when exploring or understanding multiculturalism in a language acquisition context.
