Module 11 Discussion: What Fascinates You Most?

After reading through the material in this module I was fascinated by the brain activation during language learning. I was interest that younger kids are mostly accessing one part of their brain when learning a new language but as adults learn a second language they need to access a different piece of their brain. It seems that it is harder for adults to learn a new language then children.

When thinking about teaching to children I would use assessments to drive my grouping in my classroom. I also liked the idea of changing seating arangments, bringing students outside, and using aroma therapies. These are different ways I could engage students in more learning.
