  • SLA and Budo (Martial Arts): Extended, embodied cognition and practical implications for ELT

    Date and Time: 
    Sunday, 8 July 2012 - 2:15pm - 4:20pm
    Speaker: 
    Yosuke Yanase of Hiroshima University

    “I'll use Budo as an analogy for SLA and highlight some interesting aspects of skill acquisition and consciousness/non-consciousness in Budo. For explanation, I'll use a neuroscientific framework of cognition that is both extended and embodied. I'll also talk about some practical issues, including cultural differences between TEFL by Japanese teachers and TESL by native teachers.”
