Neuro-pedagogy in Modern Classrooms: Brain-based Strategies for Foreign Language Acquisition
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Neuro-pedagogy has emerged as an interdisciplinary field that connects neuroscience, psychology, and educational theory to improve teaching and learning practices. In foreign language education, understanding how the brain processes, stores, and retrieves linguistic information can help educators develop more effective instructional strategies. Traditional language teaching methods do not always adequately address individual differences in memory, attention, motivation, and cognitive processing. Brain-based approaches emphasize meaningful repetition, multisensory learning, emotional engagement, active retrieval, and appropriately structured practice. This article examines the theoretical foundations of neuropedagogy and explores practical strategies for foreign language acquisition in modern classrooms. Particular attention is given to neuroplasticity, working memory, spaced repetition, emotional factors, and the integration of digital technologies. The article argues that neuroscience-informed teaching can support language learning when scientific evidence is applied critically and adapted to learners’ individual needs
