"Implications of neurolinguistic research for teaching second languages." Foreign Language and Learning Colloquium Speaker Series Workshop
Dr. Kara Morgan-Short will present a workshop. This workshop aims to provide an overview of some key findings from neurolinguistic research that have implications for second language teaching. First, I will provide a brief overview of well-established findings regarding how first and second languages are processed and stored in the brain based on functional magnetic resonance imaging and electrophysiology. Then, I will present a summary of results related to what we know about the brain and second language development. Some of the findings are generally informative to how second languages are learned without specific implications for teaching, but others have more direct implications for teaching. A structured, interactive discussion will allow attendees to consider how this research may inform their own teaching.
