What cognitive techniques improve language acquisition efficiency

Cognitive techniques that improve language acquisition efficiency include metacognitive strategies (planning, monitoring, evaluating learning), cognitive strategies (repetition, elaboration, summarization, imagery), and social strategies (interaction with native speakers and peers). Techniques like semantic mapping, learning in context, using mnemonic devices, and applying phonological awareness also enhance learning. Active engagement methods such as immersion, language repetition, task-based learning, and digital multimodal approaches that stimulate multiple senses help strengthen neural connections and improve retrieval efficiency in the mental lexicon. Additionally, cognitive stimulation interventions focused on executive functions can enhance language skills by reinforcing neural networks involved in language processing. ^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
