propobject used in performance

📖 Reading (C1–C2)

Humor is more than entertainment in language learning—it’s a cognitive tool that deepens engagement. Laughter activates neural pathways linked to memory and reduces emotional barriers that block communication. At advanced levels, humor exposes cultural assumptions and linguistic nuance. Interestingly, research suggests that forced or overly theatrical humor, such as props or exaggerated voices, can weaken its effectiveness, while spontaneous humor strengthens classroom connection.

📝 Questions

  1. How does humor support cognitive engagement?

  2. Why is humor a cultural tool?

  3. Why is forced humor less effective?

Answers

  1. It activates memory-forming neural pathways.

  2. It reveals cultural assumptions and nuance.

  3. Because it feels unnatural and weakens connection.
