    "abstract": "This paper illustrates the neural mechanisms underlying language processing. Based on evidence from neuroscience, theNeural Theory of Language supports the idea that, to fully understand an utterance, one should be able to imagine thescene evoked by that utterance. To achieve that, brain regions responsible for the action associated with that utteranceare activated in order to mentally simulate the action that is being described. In this report, I propose four activities thatimplement these findings to language teaching in order to boost the learning process and provide meaningful content, notonly about language itself but also about the processes behind.",
