Description: Kyoto JALT has together with MASH put together a half-day event focusing on brain-based teaching and learning-centered activities, with a keynote presentation on brain studies by Dr. Curtis Kelly, a poster session by five teachers and discussion circles for everyone. Brain studies give us a better picture of how learning occurs. A growing movement called "brain-compatible teaching" calls on us to develop teaching practices that focus less on language and more on how it is learned. In an updated version of his popular featured speaker JALT2008 workshop, the presenter discusses discoveries such as the roles of deep processing, sleep, interaction, body maps and emotion.
