Language, mind, and culture are deeply interconnected in the learning process. Neurolinguistic and psycholinguistic approaches provide essential insights into how the brain and mind work in language processing. In education, interdisciplinary approaches involving cultural elements can significantly enhance language learning effectiveness. Experimental psycholinguistics presents opportunities to test and develop new methods that cater to students' needs.
