Connecting Research to Practice: Memory and How We Teach English
With the help of technologies such as MRIs we have recently learned a lot about how the
brain and memory work. These findings can inform our teaching in many wonderful ways.
In this article I have compiled a table connecting research to classroom practice. In the left column I list established findings on how memory works. In the right column I suggest ways those findings translate into good classroom practices. … I welcome your input and feedback. Please send your comments or classroom suggestions to the Teacher2Teacher blog.
