But how?

That is the question.

We areconstantly striving

to make our classes

more appealing andmotivating.


2/16

Now we know that

our brain is plastic, it continuously remodels itself, (thesebiological changes are the result of outside experience) -

which means we are NOT stuck with the brain we wereborn with;

certain intellectual functions are restricted to onecerebral hemisphere;

emotion is a primary catalyst in the learning process; memory is not stored in a single location in the brain or

static or unitary;

there are multiple intelligences, different learning stylesand emotional intelligence.

It is obvious that we cannot continue using the samemethods as those of our ancestors believing that all our

students learn the same way.

The Challenge

To create new resources which accelerate

the acquisition of the language making themost of each students abilities andstrengths.


4/16

The use of games and movies in class

widens the scope of resources in an infinite way;

promotes the use of both cerebral hemispheres;

enhances memory by providing more ways ofrepresenting information in the brain to help

reconstructing it later; develops different intelligences and self-esteem;

provides practice for the four language skills;

creates a highly motivating, secure andentertaining atmosphere which generates thedesire to learn through positive competition.

Dr. Gwen B. Moores definition:

Learning is improving mentally, physically,emotionally, academically,spiritually andsocially. It is gaining understanding andknowledge plus the mental action that

involves thinking, seeing, hearing, tasting,smelling, touching and feeling. It is theprocess of awakening! Learning is seekingand acquiring inward change that isdemonstrated outwardly. Learning is thewillingness to consider various alternativesbefore conceptualizing ideasthe openness ofthe mind.
