Workshop
It has been thoroughly proved that movement deeply enhances learning.
Having students sit quietly in rows is a worst-case scenario for the brain,
since in order to learn, it needs participation from its partner, the body.
Movement is crucial to every brain function, including memory, emotion,
language and learning. Come to this workshop and learn a collection of useful
ideas of very simple games that incorporate movement, to teach both
vocabulary and grammar, that may be used with students of different ages
and varied levels of English.
