Piercing mental fog and preventing focus drift with Maori, Aboriginal, and monkish skills

The talk showcases techniques and exercises that may be employed by educators to help their students succeed in preparing for language exams. Some performance boosting exercises draw on techniques used by Maori navigators to pierce through mental fog, Australian Aboriginal skills employed to prevent concentration drift, and medieval monks devising mnemonic solutions to quickly learn Latin.
