Where have all the verbs gone?
There have been studies in Mexico that show that those who learn English earn around 30% more than those who do not.

Is it motivating?
Get them involved and keep their motivation * Cardiff 2009
Many but not All
• My former boss, a Mexican trained as a doctor, told me that she earns more as an English teacher than she did at medicine!
• And STILL many students rank their English classes low in priority.

How does learning
(not only language learning)
happen in the brain?

Arrange this in a logical order:
Researches are
1) that occur during the learning process –
2) from the first try to a completely learned skill
3) to measure changes in brain activity
4) using functional magnetic resonance imaging

Neurones and synapses TRUE -FALSE
Learning takes place when neurons communicate
with each other. When neurones receive sensorial
inputs they form extensions called dendrites
The axon is a long thin fibre which starts from a
neurone and stretches towards another neurone.
Dendrites and neurones make up networks, the
point of conjunction is called synapse
The liquids which make neurones communicate are
the neurotransmiters

Neural activity can be increased by grafting brain cells onto nano-tubes, thereby creating something that's half brain, half ultra-tech,
Brain cells grow very effectively on the nanomaterial, indicating that this junction could be a biocompatible link between mind and machine

We believe
-two different sides of the brain are responsible for different modes of thinking
- both of these modes of thinking are required for uncovering the effective solution of the problem
- individual preferences
- whole brain thinking
- brain plasticity

“… some teachers will actually say that they are only responsible for teaching the language, and not for the general
educational development of the student.
This, however, is an illusion. Whether we are aware of it or not, students will
always learn more in their language classes than just language”

Three circles or a triangle?
http://www.witchhazel.it/brain_learning.htm
What is the image ?
Are you sure there is a triangle in the picture?
Get them involved and keep their motivation * Cardiff 2009
Because...
http://www.witchhazel.it/brain_learning.htm
Why do we see a triangle which doesn't exist?
... the left hemisphere sees things in a sequel
while the right one sees wholes and adds what is missing
