Abstract
Attention
in children is closely connected with attention styles and arousal. For most
children, alternating styles of attention (between narrow and diffuse and
between objective and immersed) reflect the brain wave activity. Alternating
styles of attention is a key factor for attaining the flexibility for moving
freely by degrees among and within attention styles. But how is it possible to stimulate
narrowly objective forms of attention in children? The paper supports the
possibility to achieve attention flexibility through open focus attention. The
possible way to use mentioned above focus attention in foreign language
teaching practice was proposed.
Key
words : arousal, attention styles, attention flexibility, focus attention,
