Cognitive Neuroanalytics in English Language Teaching: Mapping Neural Pathways for Adaptive Language Teaching

Cognitive neuroanalytics is a nascent interdisciplinary research area that unites neuroscience, artificial intelligence (AI), and cognitive psychology with the aim of designing pedagogy in the English language (ELT). Cognitive neuroanalytics is being theorized as a foundation for neural processes in language acquisition that promotes adaptive pedagogy to learners. Towards this purpose, the author describes how neuroimaging, AI cognitive models, and neuroplasticity improve language instruction. It is interested in the potential that cognitive circuit mapping offers to inform adaptive pedagogy, actively engage learners, and maximize retention. Certain ethical concerns and potential research avenues for applying cognitive neuroanalytics in ELT are also addressed in the article.
