ACCELERATING LANGUAGE ACQUISITION: EXPLORING APPROACHES, TECHNOLOGIES, AND PEDAGOGIES FOR FASTER AND MORE EFFECTIVE LANGUAGE LEARNING

The process of language acquisition is inherently complex, but recent advances in pedagogical theory, technology, and cognitive research have shown significant potential for accelerating this process. This article explores various methods and approaches that contribute to faster and more efficient language learning. By examining the latest research in second language acquisition (SLA), the role of digital tools, immersive environments, and innovative teaching techniques, this paper identifies key strategies for accelerating language acquisition in learners of diverse ages and backgrounds. The implications for educational practices and policy-making are discussed, with a particular focus on higher education settings.
