APPLYING PSYCHOLINGUISTICS IN TEACHING METHODS TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL-AGED STUDENTS
Keywords:
psycholinguistics, elementary school-aged students, language acquisition, applyingAbstract
Having considered the fact that psycholinguistics is one of the linguistics fields, the experiments have shown that applying it to the elementary school age group(6-10 years old) leads to much more success than might be expected. By this, not only this age group's psychology, but also biological maturity process are not neglected. During the language acquisition, (learning a language) process, these aspects are also taken into account. This article will discuss why it is not efficient enough to apply comparison linguistic tactics while teaching 6-10 years old students. To gain maximum benefit from psycholinguistics, it would be appropriate not only to introduce this field of linguistics as a module in universities for future educators, but also to ensure its practical application.
