Learning and using language are key processes of the brain, so every language teacher needs to know the basics of how the brain does both. Four key concepts will be explained: a) network thinking and embodied simulation; b) why that boy who “doesn’t get it” might be the smartest; c) how emotion is at the root of everything; d) and how predictive processing is giving us a completely different picture of how the brain works.
