By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Understand key concepts from neuroscience relevant to language learning (memory, attention, emotion, and motivation).
Recognize how the brain processes, stores, and retrieves language.
Apply principles of brain-based learning to lesson planning and classroom management.
Design activities that enhance focus, retention, and engagement in learners.
Reflect critically on how neuroscience can inform—not dictate—teaching practice.

Week 1: The Learning Brain
Myths and facts about the brain and language learning.
How the brain processes language input: perception, decoding, and storage.
Neural plasticity and implications for lifelong learning.
Week 2: Memory and Retention
The role of working memory and long-term memory in language learning.
Spaced repetition, retrieval practice, and multisensory learning.
Strategies to design memory-friendly language lessons.
Week 3: Attention, Emotion, and Motivation
How emotion affects attention and learning.
The neuroscience of motivation: dopamine, reward, and curiosity.
Creating emotionally safe and stimulating classroom environments.
Week 4: From Brain Science to Classroom Practice
Translating theory into classroom strategies.
Brain-friendly lesson design: sequence, variety, and reflection.
Ticket of exit: mini lesson plan integrating a neuroscience-informed principle.

The course adopts a learn–apply–reflect structure:
Learn: Participants engage with short readings, videos, and infographics that simplify neuroscience concepts.
Apply: Each module includes a practical classroom challenge or mini task connecting theory to real teaching contexts.
Reflect: Discussion forums foster collaborative reflection and sharing of experiences among participants.
Consolidate: Weekly exit tickets guide teachers to synthesize learning and plan actionable changes in their practice.
The approach is experiential, interactive, and reflective — ensuring teachers not only understand how the brain learns, but also how to teach in tune with it.
