A Systematic Literature Review of Brain-Friendly Teaching

In general, brain-friendly teaching, which is a very new trend in educational settings, is a strategy implemented based on brain-based learning principles, theoretical observations, and the latest research discoveries related to the human brain. Although all teaching processes are essentially brain-based, compare to other methods, brain-friendly teaching is a strategy specifically created to value the true potential of the brain in the learning process. Therefore, brain-friendly teaching focuses on using research about how the brain works and how teachers can use this knowledge to help second/foreign language students learn English quickly and efficiently. Studying ۱۱ publications dating from ۲۰۰۵ through ۲۰۲۰, this systematic review presents an overview of the existing evidence on the elements of brain-friendly teaching and their impacts on students’ academic performance. The results support the conclusion that brain-friendly teaching has a potential impact on the academic performance of students. Therefore, this study implies the need to expand research on the needs and challenges of both teachers and students concerning brain-friendly teaching techniques.
