In today`s episode, I`m talking about brain research & dyslexia in the EFL context.

There are so many myths and misconceptions that I`ve decided to shed some light on and dismantle some of them.

✔️Learning a language is a complex task; learning to read in L1 or L2 is challenging for our brains, so let me take you through some fundamentals:

✳️The temporal lobe is responsible for phonological awareness and decoding/discriminating sounds.

✳️The frontal lobe handles speech production, reading fluency, grammatical usage, and comprehension, making it possible to understand simple and complex grammar

.✳️The angular and supramarginal gyrus serve as a "reading integrator" a conductor of sorts, linking the different parts of the brain together to execute the reading action.

❌ Working on L2 is so much more than mind maps & memorization. You`ve got to go to print and speech principles so that your students are successful in the future.
