Teach the Brain, Not the Intellect

Sunday, July 6th, 2003, 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Marshall R. Childs

To be successful at language teaching, teachers must understand what happens in students' minds. Learning through the intellect is a small part of language learning. The larger part takes place subconsciously, in the part of the mind that is full of passions, sounds, rhythms, and dreams. The teacher, as coach rather than lecturer, can improve his or her success by understanding what goes on in students' brains and by encouraging effective learning activities.
