概要 The scientific name for our species is homo sapiens (wise human), but evolutionary scientists and neuroscientists suggest that a more accurate description is homo docens (the species that teachers itself). Although learning is universal in the animal world, ours is the only species that actively teaches its offspring (Högberg, Gärdenfors & Lars Larsson, 2015; Dehaene, 2020). This presentation explained four basic principles that lead to effective learning and the neuroscience behind each one. 1) Help learners direct and focus their attention; 2) Foster active engagement with the subject matter; 3) Provide constructive error feedback; 4) Create opportunities for consolidation of learning through regular practice and skill building activities. Examples of class activities for a variety of levels of English learners were provided to illustrate each of these principles.
