Visual learning also help students understand unknown words' meaning as they guess it watching the scenes

Traditionally, there are five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. As far back as the 1760's, the famous philosopher Immanuel Kant proposed that our knowledge of the outside world depends on our modes of perception. In order to define what is "extrasensory" we need to define what is "sensory". Each of the 5 senses consists of organs with specialized cells that have receptors for specific stimuli. These cells have links to the nervous system and thus to the brain. Sensing is done at primitive levels in the cells and integrated into sensations in the nervous system. Sight is probably the most developed sense in humans, followed closely by hearing.

In learning Sight absorbs 70%  and Hearing does 20% of our attention.
So, I think the audio-visual learning system is the best way to teach.
