My IATEFL 2021 presentation is scheduled for Monday 21 June at 11 am (UK time).
In this talk I review what is currently known about how human memory operates and I offer suggestions on how this knowledge can be applied in language training. I look at various factors that enhance memorability and I share some tried and tested strategies to maximise our students’ learning opportunities.
My slides can be downloaded here.
