摘要：Remote sensing is known as a technique providing the world with diversified imagery on different scales. Meanwhile, these images are an inherent part of newspapers, TV news and various online sources used to communicate information. Being — somehow — omnipresent, remotely sensed images are also interesting sources for education. This contribution presents two examples of how satellite and aerial images can be used to teach foreign languages. The first example refers to the teaching of English in primary schools, whilst the second example concerns the Irish language taught at the Ruhr-University Bochum (RUB), Germany.
