Chá Pedagógico – Cognitive Bias

Chá Pedagógico is a monthly show hosted by Professor André Hedlund and Professor Rodolfo Mattiello where Linguistics and Neuroscience aspects of Language Learning are discussed. The episodes are live directly from Instagram and also streamed on Youtube.

Some language teachers refuse to accept and implement new teaching ideas or use new resources claiming that they have been doing their jobs for a while with good results. They are the “victims” of their own cognitive bias, when our brain creates an obstacle for different things based on the success that once was. Andre Hedlund and Rodolfo Mattiello go through this issue in this episode of Chá Pedagógico.

Pragmatics is constantly neglected by most ESL teachers. Leia mais
