SUMMARY:Using Mind Maps in the English Classroom with Ron Morrain
DESCRIPTION:Using Mind Maps in the English Classroom\nIt is important for t
 eachers to apply as many different methods and approaches in the L2 learni
 ng experience as they can. Map maps and mind mapping are only a few of the
  many alternatives available to teachers for today’s modern classroom. T
 hey can be an alternative to course books\, which do not appeal to certain
  learners. Using course books do not serve some learners well\, especially
  those who have problems dealing with heavy text-based materials. Teachers
  can stimulate the L2 learning process by creating a collaborative and pos
 itive learning experience. Using mind maps in language learning helps to c
 reate that meaningful and positive L2 learning experience.\nMind maps stim
 ulate the L2 learning experience because learners begin to make cognitive 
 associations with any given topic. However\, learners must also have a con
 nection to the topic if they are to be successful in the learning process.
  With mind maps\, learners become introspective and are able to recall exp
 eriences\, and start to attach words to the existing pictures in their min
 ds. Most importantly\, they begin to write\, so mind maps directly encoura
 ge the skill of writing. Senseless linear notetaking slowly goes out the w
 indow\, and habits and attitudes towards L2 learning begin to change.\nWhi
 le mind maps can support the fundamentals of any positive learning/teachin
 g experience\, they are an alternative to traditional methods\, and offer 
 students and teachers the opportunity to grow and develop together in the 
 L2 learning process.*\nIn this workshop\, participants will get hands-on e
 xperience with mind mapping and take away several mind maps that they can 
 effectively use in their English classroom or coaching sessions.\n*Adapted
