How the ELL Brain Learns de David A. Sousa

How the ELL Brain Learns

Autor David A. Sousa
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 dec 2010

Evoluția neuroștiințelor aplicate în educație a transformat fundamental modul în care înțelegem achiziția limbajului, trecând de la simple metode pedagogice la o înțelegere profundă a proceselor neurologice. În acest context, How the ELL Brain Learns reprezintă o resursă esențială pentru cadrele didactice care lucrează cu elevi ce învață limba engleză ca limbă secundară (ELL). Apreciem modul în care David A. Sousa reușește să explice complexitatea reorganizării lingvistice care are loc în creierul unui copil după vârsta de 5 ani, oferind o bază științifică solidă pentru practicile de la clasă.

Lucrarea este structurată metodic, începând cu mecanismele primei limbi și progresând către provocările specifice învățării limbii engleze la vârste mai înaintate. Merită menționat faptul că autorul nu se limitează la teorie; volumul include secțiuni dedicate ascultării, vorbirii, cititului și scrisului, culminând cu strategii pentru discipline specifice precum artele limbajului și studiile sociale. Această structură este o alternativă aplicată la The Education of English Language Learners de Marilyn Shatz pentru cursurile de pedagogie, având avantajul integrării directe a cercetării creierului cu „sfaturi de predare” (teaching tips) pas cu pas.

În cadrul operei sale, această carte completează perfect titluri precum How the Brain Learns sau How the Brain Learns to Read, mutând focusul de la procesele cognitive generale către nevoile specifice ale populației ELL. Un element distinctiv este capitolul dedicat diagnosticării dificultăților de învățare, care ajută profesorii să diferențieze între barierele lingvistice naturale și deficiențele de învățare reale, o distincție adesea ignorată în manualele clasice.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este indispensabilă profesorilor din învățământul preuniversitar care doresc să își fundamenteze metodele de predare pe date neuroștiințifice. Cititorul câștigă instrumente practice pentru a sprijini elevii care învață engleza ca limbă secundară, beneficiind de strategii de intervenție testate și de un cadru clar pentru evaluarea progresului. Este o resursă rară care combină rigoarea academică cu aplicabilitatea imediată în mediul școlar divers de astăzi.

Despre autor

David A. Sousa, Ed.D., este un consultant internațional de prestigiu în neuroștiințe educaționale. Cu o formare academică solidă în chimie la Bridgewater State University și un master în predarea științelor la Harvard University, Sousa a reușit să pună puntea între laborator și sala de clasă. A prezentat cercetările sale în fața a peste 200.000 de educatori din întreaga lume, fiind recunoscut pentru capacitatea de a traduce concepte complexe de neuroimagistică în strategii pedagogice concrete. Expertiza sa este reflectată în seria sa de succes, unde explorează cum învață creierul matematica, lectura sau cum se adaptează la mediul tehnologic actual.

Descriere scurtă

á'This book is one of the best IÆve read on how the brain functions in second language learners and is invaluable for understanding ELLs with learning disabilities.'ùIrma Guadarrama, ProfessorUniversity of Texas-Pan American College of Education 'David Sousa brings together all of the research about the brain to show the process of learning multiple languages and offers ways to implement effective teaching strategies with quality instruction.'ùSharon Latimer, ESL TeacherPlano ISD, TXRaise your ELL success quotient and watch student achievement soar!Teachers are more likely to succeed if they have a deeper understanding of the challenges students face in trying to learn English and course content simultaneously. How the ELL Brain Learns combines current research on how the brain learns language with strategies for teaching English language learners in Kû12 classrooms. Award-winning author and brain research expert David A. Sousa describes the linguistic reorganization needed to acquire another language after the age of 5 years. He supplements this information with immediately applicable tools, including: A self-assessment pretest for gauging your understanding of how the brain learns languagesReady-to-use brain-compatible strategies for teaching English learners across the curriculum An entire chapter about how to detect English language learning problems, with sections on the social, cultural, and physical causesEach chapter features teaching tips that translate the research into step-by-step classroom applications. Also included are intervention strategies to use with struggling ELLs, including methods for working with older students.

Recenzii

"This book puts all of the research about the brain together to show what is happening during the process of learning multiple languages. It is very informative in showing how to implement effective teaching strategies with quality instruction."
"This book is one of the best I’ve read on how the brain functions in second language learners, and is invaluable for learning about ELLs with learning disabilities."
"David Sousa's books serve as manuals for the application of empirically-validated strategies, meeting the needs of hopeful teachers and parents alike in almost any instructional context: home-school, classroom, or higher education. I would be excited to use this text with my students who are unfamiliar with the issues involved in reaching ELL students in the classroom."
