People - the textbook for everyone who wants to get more moving in class!
What do people remember best? Everything that moves you personally. And what moves us most? Learning psychology and neurodidactics agree what moves us is what has to do with people! And that is exactly the secret of the success of our new textbook: it's all about people. Emotional, exciting, and entertaining. Look - you will see people are moved!
Emotion and success
Three findings from learning psychology and neurodidactics are particularly important for language learning:
The best way to arouse interest and emotions is through stories.
Our memory works with images.
Consolidate and motivate repetitions.
These findings shape the concept of people. Learning content is introduced via ?storytelling?, a picture lexicon visualizes the learning vocabulary and repetition, and automation are given a lot of space.
Participation and interaction
Those who follow their interests learn more successfully, and self-directed language acquisition is the deepest. That's why people focus on learner autonomy. The learners can choose topics according to their interests and are given a variety of opportunities to continue learning independently. All opportunities are also used to activate individual knowledge and skills, for example through learning tips or comparisons to other languages.
Imagination and versatility
People learn with all their senses. That's why the learning material is presented via several channels and optimally networked with each other. This type of presentation extends, among other things, the attention span.
Different forms of learning, from songs to movement exercises to games and film sequences, are perfectly coordinated: targeted networking that increases learning success.
Multimedia and motivation
The possibilities of digital media are used extensively. The interactive course book for whiteboard and projector, the digital teaching package and the Moodle course room are aids for meaningful media didactic lessons and shorten the preparation time. This makes learning and teaching more effective.
