Brain Studies and Learning/Active Skills for Communication

Event Speaker(s): 
Curtis Kelly
Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 2:00pm to 4:00pm

For our fourth meeting of the year, we welcome back for a third time a popular teacher at Kansai University, as well as a noted and prolific ELT materials writer and presenter. This time, he will have two parts to his session. In the first half, he discusses how “brain-compatible teaching” calls on us to develop teaching practices that focus less on language and more on how it is learned and remembered. In the second half, he will ask us to consider how we can reshape our teaching or learning in relation to these issues. He will then describe how he overcame similar problems in co-writing his latest course book.
