Learning Games

People remember what they are doing better when they have an adrenalin surge. Trying to fix something more securely in the memory by repeating something over and over is a very unproductive way to go about strengthening the memory. Why do frightening events have such strong hold on people? People remember that scary feeling and events associated with it for a long, long time because they had an adrenalin surge. People remember when they were successful and triumphant because of their elation; they also had an adrenalin surge. Utilizing this physical response is the key to faster and better retention of events.

These can be first experiences, things you learned by experience or in school, or procedural memory, how to walk and talk, routine skills that don’t require conscious recall abilities.

Science and Children

Confronted with dense, dull textbooks that present formulaic information in a disconnected, abstract way, many children immediately shut down. Without even thinking about it, they label science as something apart from them, at best a school subject they should excel in and at worst a boring hour they spend staring at the wall. Science does not have to be this way. By introducing more hands-on learning methods into our classrooms, we can bring science alive for children from kindergarten to eighth grade and ensure that it plays a continuing role in their futures.

Communicative Language Teaching
Teaching techniques vary regarding teaching language to individuals, particularly when it comes to the process of teaching second languages to students. Communicative language teaching is different from other approaches because it focuses on student interaction with the teacher and other students as a means of creating language skills in a new language. This clearly is different from other forms of teaching language, first of all because its goal, as the name implies, is communication. Instead of long lessons of memorization and drilling in a new language, communicative language teaching relies on the participation of the student in conversation with the instructor and other students as a means of making the new language relevant to the student and therefore easier to learn and recall.
