Breakthrough in English Language Teaching
Conny Semiawan
This presentation should actually be titled: Trends in English for young learners.
However, an investigation in neuroscience and its impact on the language
development of young children was and is a very important breakthrough in
English language teaching. Those impacts of neuroscience investigations are
relevant within the development of the child, because language is a higher
mental function located in the brain, which distinguishes us, human beings from
other creatures. This presentation consists of four parts, firstly: The
introduction; secondly: Neuroscience investigation and its impacts on the
brain; thirdly: How language development works and lastly: Implications on English
language teaching.
