| Preliminary scope of work in English |
| Addressing the challenge of vocabulary acquisition among adolescents aged 13-16 is
crucial in language education. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a Brain-based Learning Approach in improving vocabulary learning and retention for six students. Utilizing principles that optimise the brain's learning efficiency, the neuro- pedagogical method is implemented to create an innovative and favourable learning environment. Anticipated outcomes include more effective vocabulary acquisition and retention, and heightened motivation levels for young learners in the language acquisition process. |
