Rather than constituting a problem for students and educators, the growing diversity in U.S. classrooms necessitates and encourages the development and use of diverse teaching strategies designed to respond to each student as an individual.
Damage to a discrete part of a the brain in the left frontal lobe (Brocaâs area) of the language-dominant hemisphere has been shown to significantly affect use of spontaneous speech and motor speech control. Words may be uttered very slowly and poorly articulated.
This involves massive amounts of cooperation between five âmain sectionsâ: the frontal lobe, which controls planning, self-control, and signal-interpretation (âexecutive functioningâ), the parietal lobe, which controls spatial and motor movements, the temporal lobe, which controls hearing and memory, the occipital lobe, which controls vision, and the cerebellum, which controls emotions and plans movement (Levitin, 2006)....
