Five minds for the Future
Wednesday, 24
 The synthesizing Mind: Scads of Information, especially on the web. Largely undigested
and unevaluated. The synthesizing imperative. Good, bad, and ‘so-so” syntheses. We need
to develop “Synthesis 101” for teachers and students.
 The Creating Mind: Mastering one or more discipline-10 year rule. Synthesizing what is
known(the box itself). Going beyond the known-thinking outside the box. Good questions,
new questions. Robust, iconoclastic temperament. The ultimate judgment of the “field”

fact of life, at home and abroad.
Beyond mere tolerance. Ned to
understand others-perspectives.
Motivation-emotional and
interpersonal intelligence.
Inappropriateness of “corporate, topdown model” for schools and for
corporations!
 Ethical Mind: Higher level of
abstraction than respectful mind.
Conceptualizing oneself as a (good)
worker) and a (good) citizen. Acting
appropriately in both roles.

because they are only the tools that help us teach better.

and self-confidence in speaking English. This presentation demonstrated a system of using

the roles, and then watch the same play by the movie.

Strategies for Watching Movies and Learning English

 The Presenter showed the video with trainer who provided the
lesson for nonnative speakers in Japan. He demonstrated how
to write story, how to choose, and watch the movies for
language learning through the Internet database.How can you
use the news to learn English?
 Go to a computer and explore some new websites. After you
try, come back and watch the last Chapter. The DVD provides
opportunities for viewers to have similar interaction with a
partner.
 Students’ lack of a principled approach to mining such material
for language learning opportunities limits the value of watching.
The filmed learner training workshop offered movie-watching
strategies for independent language learning.
