ENHANCING ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS THROUGH BRAIN-BASED STRATEGIES AND DIGITAL GAMIFICATION
Abstract
The evidence-based method, known as "brain-based learning," adapts teaching methods to the way the human brain receives and remembers information. To improve learning outcomes in teaching foreign languages, in particular English, it is necessary to understand cognitive mechanisms, emotional activity, and neurodidactic principles. This study examines the neuropedagogical foundations of English language teaching, examining motivational and cognitive elements that improve language learning. One of the practical components is the creation of a digital platform with gamified, multisensory, and adaptive learning technologies. Experimental studies show that brain-based strategies, together with modern educational technologies, significantly increase students' communicative competence, grammatical literacy, and the ability to learn words.
