Abstract:
Ebbinghaus’ theory of the Forgetting Curve explains how humans tend to forget what they learn very soon, even in days or weeks, if not reviewed and put into practice frequently. Repetition has always been considered a key factor in language learning. The question is, what kinds of tasks promote meaningful repetition that helps beat the Forgetting Curve. Repeating may be thought of as a mechanical mindless task. What we are proposing in this session is the incorporation of mindful repetition, noticing patterns and chunks within practical contexts, and adding an element of reflection and improvement. In this webinar participants will be presented with information about these concepts and will discuss techniques that promote repetition in varied and engaging ways. At the end of the webinar, participants will leave with a clear understanding of the concepts and with new ideas of teaching techniques that they can put into practice right away.
