Hi there, There is lots of research about how we consolidate information that we learn, i.e. embed it with our pre-existing knowledge. There is evidence that spacing the presentation of new information out over time is helpful, as well as interleaving old and new information. http://www.learningscientists.org/interleaving http://www.learningscientists.org/spaced-practice Also, sleep is important: https://theconversation.com/learning-a-language-sleep-on-it-and-youll-get-the-grammar-40605 There is also evidence that testing yourself (or your students) is more effective than repeating information: http://tdtrust.org/testing-is-key-to-long-term-learning I hope that’s helpful!
