Using Brain-Based Instruction to Optimize Early Childhood English Language Education

Abstract

Neuroscience has given educators new insights into how the brain learns at different developmental stages and practical ways to use those findings in the classroom to optimize student learning. Current studies provide a biologically driven framework for planning and implementing effective instruction called brain-based instruction. Brain-based instruction is a comprehensive approach to learning and teaching grounded in cognitive neuroscience research that is concerned with perception, action, memory, language, and selective attention. This chapter introduces brain-based approach to learning and teaching and how it could be incorporated in earl ELL education especially early childhood classroom. It reviews how the brain learns and how this knowledge is important for ELL teachers. In addition, educational implications of brain-based education are provided particularly for language arts instruction, classroom environment, and assessment.

Brain-based learning management in primary students: Language literacy studies

“…The result of the study indicates the benefit of the learning management designed in BBL on students' literacy. The result of the study provides more evidence to support the previous studies finding BBL as an effective solution in solving instructional difficulties (El-Henawy, 2019;Inphitak, 2019;Özden and Gültekin, 2008;Zoccolotti et al, 2005). The learning management was designed to serve the nature of students' learning process.…”

“…Considering the potential of BBL in developing children's literacy, scholars in the area have employed the method to solve problems in their contexts (El-Henawy, 2019;Inphitak, 2019;Lagoudakis et al, 2022;Özden and Gültekin, 2008;Zoccolotti et al, 2005). For instance, El-Henawy (2019) designed BBL management to improve elementary students' English skills.…”

The Provisions of Learning Experiences in the Early Childhood Development Centers against the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…Moreover, it needs to integrate activities appropriately to meet child's ages and interests in (Piqueras et al, 2019;Daelmans et al, 2017). Therefore, to ensure child's learning achievement, it is very important to provide learning experiences of four dimensions to early children appropriately based on brain/mind learning principles by care providers (El-Henawy, 2019;Marcus et al, 2018). The integration of systems and mechanisms to enhance learning experiences provisions systematically to develop early children's health and wellness (Regmi & Jones, 2020).…”

Unité proposée basée sur l’apprentissage compatible avec le cerveau pour développer quelques compétences de la pensée critique en français auprès des étudiants de la Faculté de Pédagogie

“…Et parmi les méthodes utilisées à ce stade : Vidéos, vérifications par les pairs, clés de réponse, tous fournissant ainsi un retour d'expérience précieux à l'apprenant. La configuration de la mémoire: Cette étape vise à renforcer l'apprentissage et d'une meilleure récupération des informations grâce à un repos suffisant, l'intensité émotionnelle, le contexte, la rétroaction et les situations d'apprentissage préalables ce qui aide à faire un traitement approfondi par le cerveau et ainsi aboutir à un apprentissage meilleur.-intégration fonctionnelle: à ce stade, on fait appel au nouvel apprentissage qu'on vise à renforcer et à développer plus tard.Le développement des réseaux de neurones élargis ou étendus se fait à travers la formation l'établissement et le renforcement des liens corrects.Importance d'apprentissage compatible avec le cerveau :Dans l'apprentissage d'une langue, vue son importance, l'apprentissage compatible avec le cerveau est de plus en plus utilisée pour l'apprentissage des langues(Shahzadi et Ahmad, 2022;Salleh, 2021; Kosar, 2018; Oghyanous, 2017;Atmaca, 2016;El-Henawy, 2019; Domeño, 2016; ŠKRHOVÁ, 2017). Selon Salem (2017); Kandasamy, Ibrahim, Jaafar et Zaid (2021) l'apprentissage compatible avec le cerveau enrichit le vocabulaire auprès les apprenants de la langue.…”
