The Role of Multisensory Approach in Teaching Writing to EFL Intermediate School students
Main Article Content
Abstract
Multisensory education including the human senses as much as possible in order to improve awareness, attention and memory. It is a very popular approach for students who have difficulty in learning. The method combines several senses such as, hearing, seeing, speaking, perceiving, and involve simultaneously the teaching structure, and new information into ideas that the students already know and understand by performing different types of activities.
There are some basic techniques, instructional steps, and strategies that motivate students, hold their attention, enable them to understand new information, and remember and review it later.
