Language experts, Mauro Morretta and Maria Grazia De Francisci, teach us how to use the multi sensory method to speed the learning process while learning a secondary language. Whether you're a teacher of second and third languages, or need to learn a second language faster and easier, this book explains in depth, the multi-sensory approach. These authors explain how the brain works relative to communication. Their explanation from a scientific standpoint helps readers understand why this method is so effective and how to use it.In IX, The phases of total physical response, readers understand how we learn language through association, and the use of our five physical senses. It's total immersion, and makes neural connections that are stored in long term, rather than short-term memory. Many people learn language in school, forget it, and are often quoting as saying, "If you don't use it, you lose it." Their experience of learning language hadn't been properly committed to long-term memory. This book is extensive, in depth, science, and research based. It's an excellent resource for anyone who teaches, trains or coaches, and goes well beyond the realm of learning language only.These concepts apply to any subject, and are an all-around must have for the academic community, researchers, and those learning a second or third language.
