Appearance Word Cards

The Appearance Word Cards are a focused language resource designed to support students in learning, recognising and confidently using appearance-related vocabulary in the target language.

Each card presents a single word or phrase clearly in the target language, supporting accurate recognition, pronunciation, and recall. Used alongside visual and spoken input, these cards help students move from recognising vocabulary to actively using it in speaking and writing.

Designed for classroom teachers, specialist language teachers and homeschoolers, these Word Cards function as an instructional tool that supports explicit teaching, revision, and retrieval practice.
