Abstract

Recent advances in neuroscience and pedagogy have given rise to neuropedagogy—a field that combines neurological insights with educational methodologies to optimize teaching and learning. In the context of English language teaching (ELT), neuropedagogical principles can significantly enhance learners' engagement, memory, and cognitive processing. This paper explores the core concepts of neuropedagogy and their practical application in teaching English as a foreign language, highlighting techniques such as multisensory learning, emotional regulation, and neuroplasticity-based instruction.
