INNOVATIVE METHODS IN TEACHING READING IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE WITH ELEMENTS OF A NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH

Abstract

This peper talks about the neuropsychological approach as an innovative method in teaching reading in a foreign language. Concepts such as neuropsychology, dyslexia, and gnosis are revealed within the framework of pedagogical and neuro-linguistic aspects. The prerequisites and reasons for using a neuropsychological approach in teaching reading in a foreign language to people with signs of dyslexia are revealed. The article substantiates the relevance of using innovative methods not only in teaching reading in one’s native language, but also in a foreign language, in our case it is a Romance language group. The influence of the brain on higher processes of the human psyche and behavior, such as thinking, speech, memory, perception, and, consequently, on educational activity, is explained. It is explained why this phenomenon attracts the special attention of teachers in order to improve the quality of education. The result of this work is the development of a set of exercises for correcting and preventing difficulties in reading in French and German according to the scientific achievements of such neuropsychological practitioners as A. E. Soboleva, T. Yu. Panevezys, J. M. Glozman, T. G. Vizel and others. It is possible to use the experience of testing these exercises when teaching reading and writing in typical foreign languages in any age group.
