Abstract

This article explores contemporary approaches to fostering linguocognitive competence in foreign language learners, conceptualizing it as an intricate interplay of linguistic proficiency and cognitive processing skills. Drawing upon cognitive psychology and applied linguistics, it synthesizes modern pedagogical frameworks and technological innovations, including research-backed techniques like spaced retrieval practice and input flood with focus on form. The role of artificial intelligence in delivering personalized learning experiences is examined, alongside strategies for cultivating critical thinking and metacognitive awareness. Methodological considerations for validating these methods are discussed, with the conclusion outlining pedagogical implications, future research, and best practices for developing linguocognitive competence.
