In this episode, I sit down with with Dr. Mohammad Ali Heidari-Shahreza to explore practical real life strategies for improving learning through humour and playfulness in the classroom. He explains the psychology behind why humour increases engagement and how playful learning taps into the brain's neuroplasticity, making it easier for students to grasp and remember.

Guest - Mohammad Ali Heidari-Shahreza is a university professor, teacher educator, and interdisciplinary educational researcher with a focus on playful learning, particularly humor-integrated education. His extensive research has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, including Humor: International Journal of Humor Research, TESOL Journal, and Comedy Studies. He has authored several books and contributed chapters to edited volumes by prominent publishers like Routledge and Springer.
