ENHANCING FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING THROUGH A NEUROPEDAGOGICAL APPROACH
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Neuropedagogics is an emerging interdisciplinary field that combines findings from neuroscience, psychology, and education to enhance teaching methods. In the context of foreign language learning, it offers unique insights into how the brain processes and acquires language. This study explores how principles such as neuroplasticity, memory function, sensory integration, and emotional involvement can be used to improve language instruction. Drawing from recent studies and practical applications, we examine the benefits and challenges of adopting brain-based teaching strategies in language classrooms.
