Abstract:
Teaching adolescent boys is one of the most challenging responsibilities especially when it comes to developing language skills in an EAP (English for academic purposes) classroom. The transition from childhood to adulthood makes many of these youngsters moody and anxious in their language classes. Learners avoid using their critical thinking ability and are less curious to learn more. 'Brain-Targeted Teaching Model' (BTT) is an effective teaching technique that helps students improve their cognitive skills and become more creative. Dr. Marielle Hardiman initiated this method at The Johns Hopkins University, USA. The BTT model is a pedagogical framework that seeks to connect research and practice by providing instructors with a cohesive model of effective instruction based on the neuro-cognitive sciences. It is one of the most popular ways of teaching that is gaining momentum in the world of education. The audience will get an overview of the instructional strategies of an English Language Lesson on the BTT model and how it helps in achieving academic goals, including the development of 21st-century skills. The session will also explain how the knowledge of brain sciences helps in understanding learning differences and control student behavior.
