The Communicative English Program (CEP) at Niigata University of International and Information Studies (NUIS) was founded upon principles emphasising the need for high levels of active student participation and the importance of a positive language-learning environment. This paper reports on the degree to which the use of student photo namecards as teaching aids, meets these needs and principles. Integral to this report is the quantitative data obtained from questionnaires completed by 103 freshman CEP students. The data confirms a significant number of students prefer not to have their photographs displayed on the cards but perhaps this is not sufficiently significant to outweigh the students' desire for their CEP instructors to learn and remember their names, nor outweigh other positive aspects associated with using the cards to organise classroom activities.
