Predictive Language Processing and Its Role in ELT #821

Tue, Nov 17, 18:00-19:00 JST | Zoom 3
You must log in to view sessions Mind, Brain, and Education General Forum

Predictive Processing (PP) is a fundamental and exciting theory in neuroscience. This forum will focus on the critical role PP plays in foreign language processing. Following an overview of PP, participants will be able to choose two topics to hear more about and discuss in separate breakout rooms (PP in depth, multi-word utterances, grammar, intensive reading, study abroad, extensive reading). With two rounds, everyone will be able to visit two rooms.

I'm interested in how we can maximize student learning, and this has led me to the place that all learning happens: The brain. I'm am certainly not a neuroscientist, but there is a wealth of brain-related information within the domains of cognitive psychology and the science of learning. I hope to bring insights related to effective learning strategies and the theory of predictive processing to increase my effectiveness in the classroom. Moreover, I am excited to share what I have gleaned with other educators.
