Abstract

This book review discusses Elizabeth's journey as a mother and teacher who combined her personal and professional experiences to design a language teaching method that engages the five senses. The book “Teaching World Languages with the Five Senses, Practical Strategies and Ideas for Hands-On Learning” that resulted from her research provides deep insights into language acquisition in the brain. Each book’s 11 chapters address various topics, from language learning in the brain to five-sense teaching methods to cultural responsiveness in the 21stcentury language classroom and decolonizing the world language curriculum. Emphasis is placed on teachers adapting to student diversity, dealing with learning anxiety, and providing approaches that support higher-order thinking skills. Suitable for all language teachers worldwide, this book presents an innovative approach involving the five senses in language learning, emphasizing a basic understanding of the brain as a foundation for more effective teaching practices.
