Developing the Language Learner’s Mind and Soul with Mindfulness, Movement, and Music

Summary

This paper surveys the employment of discoveries in neuroscience as the fundamental tools in building a vocabulary acquisition method. Once the neuroscience discoveries are explained, the author shows how they can be applied to help English language learners encode, learn, remember, and use English lexical items. Data to illustrate the effectiveness of the method are offered along with possible limitations of its use.
