Toward a Re-Emergence of James Moffett’s Mindful, Spiritual, and Student-Centered Pedagogy

Abstract

In recent years, there has been something of a resurgence of interest in the late language learning theorist James Moffett. While Moffett is lesser known in holistic learning circles, he was a strong advocate for the integration of spiritual, cognitive, and emotional dimensions of education, viewing them as essential for fostering empathy, personal growth, and societal responsibility in learners. Published in 2023, Toward a Re-Emergence of James Moffett’s Mindful, Spiritual, and Student-Centered Pedagogy delves deep into the multifaceted contributions of James Moffett with a focus on his spiritual and mindful approach to education and language learning.
