    <div>In the ‘orthodox’ view of cognition, thought 
    processes have been seen as manipulation of symbolic, mental 
    representations, taking place disjoined from the body. This dualist 
    Cartesian approach characterized much of twentieth-century thought and 
    is still taken for granted by many people today. Language, too, has for a
     long time been treated across scientific domains as a system operating 
    largely independently from perception, action, and the body 
    (articulatory-perceptual organs notwithstanding). Yet, the disembodied 
    perspective is inaccurate for numerous reasons, which will be discussed 
    addressing the issue of the indissoluble link between cognition, 
    language, body, and environment in understanding and learning. The talk 
    will conclude with implications and suggestions for pedagogy, relevant 
    for disciplines as diverse as instruction in language, mathematics, and 
    sports.<br>
    </div>

    <strong>Michał B. Paradowski</strong> is a 
    professor and teacher trainer at the Institute of Applied Linguistics, 
    University of Warsaw and a research and language teaching consultant. 
    His interests include second language acquisition and instruction, 
    bi-/multilingualism, psycholinguistics, cognitive science and 
    educational psychology. He is currently PI for the projects How Peer 
    Interaction Mediates Second and Third Language Acquisition and Language 
    Learners’ Perception of Online vs Face-to-face Learning Effectiveness.</div>
