ABSTRACT

With this fun, practical guide, you will have everything you need to re-envision and reinvigorate your world language classroom. Author Elizabeth Porter draws on a brain-based approach to show how language learning is a sensory experience. Students can effectively learn languages and improve retention through activities and lessons that incorporate the five senses – sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. Chapters include real-world, research-backed examples and classroom strategies and activities ready for use. An essential resource for world language teachers, this book introduces language learning philosophy and an out-of-the-box, effective approach that uses neuroscience combined with best practices to promote a highly engaging language learning environment.
