Das Abspeichern und spätere Abrufen von Informationen in der Fremdsprache kann durch gleichzeitig stattfindende Bewegung (z.b. aufstehen, gehen, schreiben, etc.) erleichtert werden. A1e TIPP 1 Sprache und Bewegung Wenn Sie in einer Fremdsprache etwas hören und sich dabei gleichzeitig bewegen wie hier zu den Anweisungen in einem Fitnessprogramm kann sich das Gehirn die Informationen besser merken und später einfacher wieder abrufen. B2d TIPP 2 Farbig markieren Wenn man eine neue Struktur lernen möchte, ist es hilfreich, diese besonders hervorzuheben, z.b. durch Unterstreichen oder Einkreisen von Wörtern in einem Text. Die Bewegung, die Sie dabei ausführen, hilft Ihnen, sich auf die neue Struktur zu konzentrieren und sich diese besser zu merken. Der visuelle Effekt hilft natürlich auch. D2a TIPP 3 Notizen machen Wenn man in einer Fremdsprache etwas hört oder liest, ist es oft sinnvoll, sich gleichzeitig Notizen zu machen. Wenn Sie etwas schreiben, unterstützt die Bewegung das Abspeichern von Informationen. Sie haben dann auch eine persönliche Aufzeichnung, die Sie später verwenden können. Wie lernen Sie am liebsten? Sind Sie jemand, der sich gern bewegt? Auch beim Lernen? In dieser Einheit haben Sie Aktivitäten kennen gelernt, die den Lernprozess durch Bewegung fördern können.
