Psychological aspects of effective foreign language teaching in conditions of instability and crisis

Abstract

The article examines the psychological determinants of effective foreign language teaching in the context of global instability and crisis. It emphasizes the importance of emotional resilience, motivation, and cognitive adaptation as key factors influencing language learning outcomes. The study highlights that during periods of uncertainty, language education functions not only as a means of communication but also as a tool for psychological self-support and personal stability. Attention is given to motivational and value systems, emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, and the role of socio-psychological support in maintaining students’ engagement and well-being. The integration of psycholinguistic and neurodidactic strategies, combined with intelligent digital technologies, enables a human-centered and adaptive educational process. The article concludes that developing emotional intelligence, stress resilience, and self-regulation skills are essential for sustaining effective language learning and psychological balance in crisis conditions.
