Psycholinguistics in Language Pedagogy

Psycholinguistics is an interdisciplinary study of the integration between psychology (the study of the human mind and behaviour) and linguistics (the study of language). It explores what the mind does with language. It provides insight into how we produce the language products we use in both speech and writing. This study also explains how one can understand the speech and writing of others. In addition, it describes how the mind stores language components (such as pronunciation systems, vocabulary, grammar, meaning systems, and so on) and uses these language components to communicate. Besides, it examines how humans can acquire language that occurs in both children and adults. The variety of information is very important for those who study and teach language. But that is often not the case. The reason is simple, psycholinguistics is felt to be difficult because it is an interdisciplinary field that is theoretically built on two distinct and complex perspectives. Those who study psycholinguistics in depth will find that it overlaps with many scientific domains, for example, linguistics and its various branches, psychology, discourse analysis, neuroscience, and even language pedagogy. Some people like this condition because the broad scope of psycholinguistics makes this study interesting to learn. But some find this situation difficult and frightening (Field, J. 2004).
