Keywords:
Neurosciences of education; education of English as second languageAbstract
The impetuous progress of neurosciences in the understanding of brain activity and the advance of cognitive neuroscience in the thoughtfulness of mental process. It has been essential for the development of educational neuroscience, and with this, in the understanding of rational and cognitive basis of teaching and learning practice. In this process of support of teacher’s activity, the education in foreign languages has been include, especially in the case of English as second language. However, the applicability that English teacher is doing with the neuroscientific knowledge in the quotidian activity of teaches of language is modest. These are the reasons which were taking into consideration in the present paper to do a little analysis of the possibilities of neurosciences for English education.
