Abstract:

The growing interest to the topic of cognitive aspects of language and speech activity seen in recent years determines the main lines of fundamental and applied research in various scientific fields. Globalization of modern society forces individuals to speak several foreign languages. In the XXI century it does not seem rational to use outdated language learning methods involving systematic text memorization and slow absorbing of grammar constructions. New teaching methods capable of activating deep potential of human mind have emerged. And among them are psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic methods of language teaching.

The article examines different psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic methods and techniques of foreign languages teaching and proposes a set of solutions allowing to find an individual approach to each student.

Analyzing the works of Russian scientists such as G.A. Kitaigorodskaya, S. Garibyan, A. Zilberman, D. Runov and others, the authors set forward a system of measures to achieve greater efficiency of language learning. It is shown that applying neuropsychology and psycho- and neurolinguistics in teaching a foreign language allows developing new more efficient teaching methods which require less time for studying.
