In this talk, Curtis Kelly explores practical ways to design engaging learning experiences for language learners, particularly those who struggle with low ability, low confidence, and low motivation-what he calls “3L learners.” He discusses how task-based activities can foster interaction, curiosity, and meaningful language use in the classroom. The session will also briefly connect insights from brain science to language learning.
Curtis Kelly (EdD) is Professor Emeritus at Kansai University, Japan, and author of over 36 language-learning books. He founded the JALT BRAIN SIG and produces MindBrainEd Think Tanks, connecting brain science.
This event is co-sponsored by the JALT Lifelong Language Learning (LLL) SIG and the Tokyo Chapter of JALT.
