HOW LEARNING MULTIPLE LANGUAGES ENHANCES COGNITIVE SKILLS AMONG STUDENTS
Main Article Content
Аннотация:
This article provides an extensive analysis of how learning multiple languages influences students’ cognitive (intellectual) abilities, supported by relevant evidence and research. The process of learning languages not only helps to develop new communicative skills but also strengthens human thinking and brain activity. Studies show that multilingual individuals tend to have stronger memory, better concentration, and more advanced problem-solving and creative thinking abilities compared to monolinguals. Furthermore, language learning increases brain flexibility and helps prevent cognitive decline associated with aging. The following sections of the article discuss these processes in detail.
