- Abstract
How to use images in distance learning I Teacher self-disclosure via photo images i One of the ways to build a good teacher-student relationship is through mindful teacher self-disclosure, i.e., sharing information in the classroom "about a self that may or may not be related to the subject content, but reveal information about the teacher that the students are unlikely to learn from other sources" (Sorensen 1989: 260, as cited in Henry and Thorsen 2021). According to their own accounts, subject-specific teachers (law teachers) tend to be more formal, and the format of communication is often of the teacher interacting with a few most communicative/brightest students in a question-answer-comment format. Barbora Chovancová and Alena Hradilová are both teachers of English for Lawyers at Masaryk University Language Centre in Brno, Czech Republic, and they take pride in writing their own teaching materials, focusing also on the visual aspects to promote student well-being.
