THE ESSENCE OF THE PSYCHOLINGUISTIC APPROACH IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Abstract
The psycholinguistic approach in teaching foreign languages represents an intersection of psychology and linguistics, focusing on the cognitive and psychological mechanisms underlying language learning. This approach emphasizes the importance of understanding how language is processed, stored, and recalled in the human brain to create more effective teaching methodologies. By integrating principles from both psychology and linguistics, educators can tailor instruction to enhance memory retention, comprehension, and communicative competence. This article explores the theoretical foundation, key strategies, and practical implications of the psycholinguistic approach, highlighting its benefits in fostering active learning and sustainable language acquisition.
