answer:It’s been a while since i was in uni doing theory but I think there’s a term called “domain transfer”… I’m not sure of support in terms of studies + theory but practically as a teacher I do it all the time in a couple of ways: 1. Use the vocab of the other domain so that they can relate to it or memorise it better e.g. For my creative writing class: “You know how in tai chi there is the yin-yang symbol? It’s a philosophy that in the dark there is light and in the light there is dark.. so when you create characters for your novel you don’t want to create characters that are all evil or all good. It’s really boring if things are black and white, because really, people are rarely like that. So you want to add something admirable in your villain,” (point to the white dot in the black) “and something you thing is bad, a tragic flaw, for your hero” (point to the black dot in the white) 2. Teach students to think on a meta level e.g., —> Teaching critical thinking, which students can then apply to a number of domains, whether it is essay writing (look at this essay and come up with 3 questions you want to ask the writer)... —> Flag them to look for parallels (and differences) “Ok, we made a list of things that make a good essay – let’s see, organisation, punctuation, spelling…. now what do you think would be the equivalents for public speaking?” .
