This chapter reviews brain-based approach to learning and brain-compatible strategies for teaching as well as how to design a BBL lesson plan. Additionally, the chapter highlights the significance of incorporating BBL in professional development especially for novice English language teachers on shifting English language teachers' pedagogical perceptions. It stresses the importance of educating teachers about the brain and introducing brain-based instructional strategies.
