2. What is learning?]]> 2022-03-07 05:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/edhinmers/lvbcjsk8gjlst9ho/wish/2080966515 Why do we think TALENT is more crucial than EFFORT to successful outcomes? edhinmers https://padlet.com/edhinmers/lvbcjsk8gjlst9ho/wish/2080996751 It can be a common assumption for many people that they either have or don't have a talent for something. In my experience, this is especially true with learning a language.  Often people will say that they don't have the ability to learn a new language or that some people are just natural linguists.  I can understand this viewpoint from my own personal experience of learning languages.  I have felt that some people have a more natural ability to learn a language, but that is not really true.  
The key to learning anything is to not be deterred by failure or give up when things get tough.  As babies no one teaches us to speak, we learn it by talking nonsense and copying the noises around us.  Over time we learn to mimic and then reproduce sounds and slowly we begin to learn the language of our family/community.  Learning another language, later on, can be more difficult because we have forgotten this process.]]> 2022-03-07 06:14:34 UTC https://padlet.com/edhinmers/lvbcjsk8gjlst9ho/wish/2080996751 Module 3. What is meant by "hardwiring" in the brain. edhinmers https://padlet.com/edhinmers/lvbcjsk8gjlst9ho/wish/2081136095 The brain is hard-wired with connections, much like a skyscraper or airplane is hard-wired with electrical wiring. In the case of the brain, the connections are made by neurons that link the sensory inputs and motor outputs with centers in the various lobes of the cerebral cortex.]]> 2022-03-07 07:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/edhinmers/lvbcjsk8gjlst9ho/wish/2081136095 Module 3. What is meant by "neuro plasticity"? edhinmers https://padlet.com/edhinmers/lvbcjsk8gjlst9ho/wish/2081136603 When we learn, the billions of neurons in the brain and body pass messages back and forth through synapses, which collectively influence what we do : ) 
(Neuro) Plasticity, changes in the brain, is always happening, whether we’re having a learning experience that promotes a good or bad struggle. ]]> 2022-03-07 07:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/edhinmers/lvbcjsk8gjlst9ho/wish/2081136603 Module 4.

This can only be achieved via repeated experiences where the body will lock down the learning. hafizahramli1 https://padlet.com/edhinmers/lvbcjsk8gjlst9ho/wish/2081146994

Quiz-like format where two students answer questions. 

The quickest gets a chance to double their points by shooting a goal past the other student. 

The other student has a chance to steal the point by blocking the ball. This fills certain students with more confidence by way of a kinaesthetic activity.

- Cut a comprehension into paragraphs and stick them around the room to make them find the answers to their questions
- Make a writing task a group writing activity by giving them A3 paper to use and different coloured pens to edit each other's 
- Put answers/definition in the 4 corners and have the students move to the area which represents the answer to your question
