Keywords:

This expanded article comprehensively explores psychological approaches to teaching foreign languages easily and efficiently to non-linguistic field professionals, with special emphasis on military applications. The focus is on applying principles from cognitive, affective, social, and specifically, military psychology. The paper provides an in-depth analysis of the unique demands of language learning in a military context: communication under stress, mastery of operational terminology, and development of language skills for team-based situations. Strategies for overcoming psychological barriers in language learning, enhancing motivation, and adapting to individual learning styles are illustrated with military examples. Methods for utilizing modern technologies, including simulation systems and virtual reality in military training, are described. The result is a psychologically grounded teaching methodology aimed at improving the effectiveness of foreign language acquisition not only for general non-linguistic fields but also for military personnel.
