Abstract: НЕЙРОПЕДАГОГІЧНІ ПІДХОДИ, ЩО ПІДВИЩУЮТЬ ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ ВОЛОДІННЯ ІНОЗЕМНОЮ МОВОЮNeuropedagogy is an interdisciplinary field combining neuroscience, psychology and pedagogy, offers different approaches to enhance students' language acquisition.By aligning teaching strategies with the brain's natural learning processes, neuropedagogy fosters deeper engagement and retention.Neuropedagogical approaches, which integrate insights from neuroscience, psychology, and pedagogy, have revolutionized strategies for enhancing students' language acquisition.These methods utilize the brain's inherent learning processes, such as neuroplasticity, multisensory involvement and emotional engagement to design impactful and captivating language learning experiences.The article explores key brain-based teaching strategies that promote immersive and contextual learning, repetition, gamification, foster the formation of strong neural pathways essential for processing and retaining new linguistic skills.The above-mentioned approaches support the learning environment in promoting language acquisition.Examples of exercises presented in the article demonstrate tasks a teacher can propose to the pre-intermediate level students of non-linguistic higher educational establishments.Highlighting the significance of emotional involvement, the paper describes techniques like storytelling, role-playing and cultural immersion that connect language learning to real-world applications, thereby increasing motivation and reducing anxiety.Research demonstrates that applying neuropedagogical principles not only improve linguistic proficiency, but also cultivate confidence and a positive attitude toward learning.The implementation of these principles revolutionizes traditional teaching methods, making them more efficient, inclusive and aligned with how the brain learns best.These principles not only enhance academic achievement, but also empower students to thrive in an increasingly complex and dynamic world.This study highlights the importance of integrating neuropedagogy into contemporary educational practices to empower learners and promote lifelong learning.Enhancing the understanding of cognitive processes in language learning along with adopting brain-based teaching strategies and fostering supportive learning environments can lead to improved language proficiency.
