Linguists, biologists, anatomists, physiologists, psychologists, sociologists and physicians in the tradition of the "German School" of learning have contributed over the centuries to what is now nothing less than a revolution in learning, and the business of teaching. In this seminal work, I have drawn from contemporary clinical and experimental data beginning with effective traumatic learning to develop a Neurobiological theory of learning, including methodology and tenets. When applied in a traditional language classroom setting, the results have been nothing short of astounding.With its focus on language acquisition and learning, this monograph is a treasure-trove of new information for educators, linguists, "teachers," tutors, psychologists, physicians and researchers interested in transforming a field that has remained in the "dark ages" for too long.
