In this episode, I delve into the fascinating science behind reading, exploring concepts like neuronal recycling, the visual Word Form Area (VWFA), and why deep reading remains essential in our digital age. Drawing from research by Maryanne Wolf and Stanislas Dehaene, I`m discussing how reading involves repurposing neural circuits originally designed for other cognitive tasks and why this evolutionary adaptation is so critical for literacy development.

Tune in and share it with your friend !

Your students need help to make progress in their English learning journey?

It`s been a while but they can`t read or simply guess because they were taught to figure it out from the context?

It might not be their effort—or even yours—but the teaching philosophy at play. In this episode, I`m examining constructivism and its impact on the EFL classroom.

Tune in and learn why this popular, learner-centered approach is holding your students back and how evidence-based, structured teaching methods can transform outcomes.

Learn practical strategies for shifting your classroom focus to ensure clarity, accountability, and success for every learner.

Join me as I debunk the myths of constructivism and empower you with actionable tools to become the teacher your students need.

In this episode, I`m talking about reading and textbooks.

ELT industry and science do not go hand in hand.

As Pinker once said, print is optional for humankind. The textbooks overlook this important fact. Children are taught to guess, not to read.
