Description

The Brain Based Teaching Approach is grounded in Caine and Caine's Brain Based Learning Principles and implemented through three instructional methods. The article defines them: "Orchestrated Immersion - makes a learning setting that fully engages students in many learning skills", "Relaxed Alertness - removes fear in the learners while preserving highly stimulating settings", and "Active Processing - lets the learner combine and assume material by actively practicing it". The study operationalized these three techniques in a 12-session EFL intervention.
