NPO The Japan Association for Language Teaching

Mind, Brain, and Education

The Mind, Brain, and Education SIG is a forum for language educators and researchers to share insights in neuroscience, bringing relevant new discoveries in psychology, cognitive neuroscience and neurolinguistics into language teaching in Japan.

Neuroscience is changing language teaching!

Traditionally, language teaching has been shaped by Linguistics, and as a result, it has been language centered. Now, neuroscience and psychology are informing us more about learning itself and the learner. Our goal as language teachers is to find out as much as we can from brain sciences that can improve our practices and teach each other.
