Keywords:
cognitive approach, foreign language teaching, cognitive linguistics, language acquisition, methodology, conscious learning.Abstract
The article examines different interpretations of the cognitive approach in foreign language teaching. Four main interpretations are identified and analyzed: cognitive approach as conscious language learning, as application of cognitive linguistics, as integration of cognitive mechanisms at all learning stages, and as communicative-cognitive methods in modern textbooks. The study reveals inconsistencies between theoretical foundations and practical implementation, highlighting the need for clearer methodological frameworks.
