Title: MIND AND LANGUAGE: PSYCHOLOGY OF MEMORY & LANGUAGE LEARNING
Body: MIND AND LANGUAGE: PSYCHOLOGY OF MEMORY & LANGUAGE LEARNING Monday, May 26th 2003 An NCLRC Institute for Foreign and Second Language Educators Location: The George Washington University, Washington, DC Institute Goals: This institute is designed for foreign and second language teachers who are curious about the relationship between mind, memory, and language learning. We will review current research on how languages are stored in our memory, how words in different languages are related to meaning in memory, and what these questions tell us about language learning. The Workshop:We will begin with a brief tour of our own minds and memory with an emphasis on the contrast between conscious and non-conscious processing and controlled and automatic processing. We will have a brief glimpse at the brain and talk about the relationship between the brain and mind. Then we will explore our own basic memory and learning processes through a number of simple mental activities. We will review psychological models of how we acquire and store our languages. Finally, we will discuss the relationship of these basic cognitive and learning processes to second and foreign language learning. Participants will go home with: Participants should come away from this seminar with more questions than answers and, hopefully, a deeper appreciation of the mysteries of mind that are revealed in second language learning. The seminar will sharpen language teachers' critical skills in evaluating specific language teaching methodologies and materials. Lead Instructor: Dr. Catharine Keatley is Associate Director of the National Capital Language Resource Center and a cognitive psychologist with a specialty in bilingual memory organization. Schedule: Morning Session: 9:00-12:00 Afternoon Session: 1:15-4:00 Fee: $75.00 for registration and materials. Fee excludes room and board. We will provide you with information on a range of housing options.
