THE ROLE OF NEUROLINGUISTICS IN TEACHING ENGLISH FOR ADULTS
Abstract
The use of neurolinguistics in teaching English to adult learners is examined in this article. The study of how the brain acquires, interprets, and generates language is known as neurolinguistics. The author makes the case that teaching English to adult learners using neurolinguistics concepts can improve learning outcomes. The connection between brain plasticity and language learning, the significance of giving relevant input, and the function of emotions in language acquisition are just a few of the topics covered in this essay on neurolinguistic theory and its application in English language classes. Practical approaches are also presented to show how teachers can successfully incorporate neurolinguistic principles into their lesson plans. The findings suggest that integrating neurolinguistic approaches into English language instruction can lead to improved learning experiences and better retention of language skills for adult learners.
