Embodying grammar: motion and emotion in the ESL classroom

Abstract

I recently had the pleasure of facilitating a two hour workshop at the Sprache in Bewegung (Language in Motion) Conference hosted by PHZH, Zurich. Connecting with the theme of the conference, the workshop was a practical exploration of English grammar through embodied practices, beginning with a quick overview of the research on which these practices are based and moving swiftly on to the activities themselves.
