Overview

This book describes the learning game, LinguaG, a 1-semester online study game that uses intellectual calisthenics to train players how to envision, design, build and operate new human systems. The result is: Better Grades Better Self Better Society LinguaG combines systems-thinking with the observations of post-structural literary theory, all made appropriate for mainstream students aged 16 and up. This program is ideal for those needing an academic jump-start to AP students looking to dominate Freshman-year at college. In addition, this program is ideal of LSAT prep as players learn to enhance legal reasoning, reading comprehension and writing skills. There are three concepts that intersect progressively: raised awareness, improved learning, and a stronger society. When awareness is raised, learning improves, and society becomes stronger. How does LinguaG raise awareness? LinguaG concerns itself with awareness as it relates to the physical world. Raised awareness is accomplished by combining self-discovery with the understanding of language as a human system with multiple interacting parts. To manage all this complexity, LinguaG builds an epistemology from the ground up, with the rules and definitions to answer the question: What do we know and how do we know it? How does raised awareness improve learning? Raised awareness, based on applied systems theory, leads to better grades because it models how to create and understand context, the cornerstone of learning. Our brains learn through association with what we already understand. How can improved learning make society stronger? The third promise for those that complete this course is that it equips the student with the skills to create positive change. An understanding of self, coupled with a detailed understanding of language, puts the practitioner in a position of creating positive change, because they now have the skill-set to envision, design, build, and successfully operate new human systems.
