Dear language learner and enthusiastic pop-inner!

 

This is definately the last pop-in in 2015 and I am already preparing topics for 2016. Topics and issues for discussions - which have to be inspiring, informing, educating, eye-opening, deeply interesting and enriching to learners' language skills - are not easy to find, especially to collect and filter meaningful und authentic material for learning English, but I am sure the coming year 2016 will be another enriching, fruitful, diverse and good year for all diligent and excited pop-iners.

 

So let us end this successful pop-in year with an amazing issue, the

                                            'Left-handers'

           = left-handedness in a right-hand dominated world.

 

Being a left-hander can be a boon or bane. Many born left-handers were relearned or were forced to avoid using the left hand for writing and work against their inner, biological setting and brain coding. Since scientists have found out about left-handers' potential and the way they suffer if their natural coding is ignored, small steps have been made towards supporting left-handedness in a right-hand dominated world.

 

The KBW Waizenkirchen (Katholische Bildungswerk) offered an informing and inspiring evening about left-handedness on November 19th, which initiated and gave the kick-start to this pop-in discussion. 

 

Let's find out some more and dig deeper concerning left-handedness, feel free to check out these links and enjoy reading:
