Picturebooks are an essential tool in early literacy programs to foster first language acquisition. Hence, supporting second language acquisition through pictures seems obvious. Using symbolic and iconic features to produce meaning not only links to visual literacy, but also to the stimulation of students’ imagination. Interactions with pictures can become a key factor to reveal students’ mental processes and the role of the learners’ first language experiences. This paper focuses on the possibilities for second language acquisition that exist and how they foster visual literacy in primary school classrooms. The insights here outlined are based on a classroom project with primary school students with refugee backgrounds. The project design was based on the picturebook Seasons by Blexbolex, which offers various associations linked to spring, summer, fall and winter. In the book each season is represented by a series of images, captioned with one single word. Since the illustrator sums up the circle of life in the name of childhood, the classroom project aimed at collecting individual anecdotes from the students. During the lessons diverse learning activities were created, not only to get the students to aesthetically engage with the picturebook, but also to focus on their usefulness as a scaffolding context for language learning.

The contemporary Graphic Adaptation by Ari Folman and David Polonsky (2017) joins an editorial history, in which the perception of Anne Frank’s story has been shaped. At the same time, ethics and aesthetics of remembrance have been consistently discussed, not only fuelled by discourses on memory but also the re-imagination of the past by new generations. As Marianne Hirsch states “[p]ostmemory’s connection to the past is thus actually mediated not by recall but by imaginative investment, projection, and creation” (Hirsch 2012). Ari Folman and David Polonsky work with those imaginative approaches and reshape historical events on a narratively exigent level of the visual and the verbal. The author and the illustrator have already worked successfully together. Anne Frank’s Graphic Adaptation is an extraordinary testimony of war, based on extensive research. Intermedial references, such as adopted historical photographs, documentaries and journal entries add authenticity to the Graphic Adaptation and enable the reader to travel back in time. This paper discusses the relationship between the visual representation of memory in Anne Frank’s Graphic Adaptation and the reader. With this in mind, the author examines the Graphic Adaptation’s potential for shaping and reshaping the readers’ perception through Folman’s and Polonsky’s creation of multiple viewpoints and discusses its storytelling abilities between fiction and history.
