Abstract

This book entitled “Cognition and Language Learning” edited by Sadia Belkhir includes proceedings of the Cognition & Language Learning Symposium held in February 2019 in Mouloud Mammeri University, Tzi Ouzou. In the book, there are studies that take the interdisciplinary approach between Cognitive Linguistics and education and put forward the relation between cognition and language learning. In the studies; issues such as metacognitive awareness on reading narrative texts, vocabulary attrition among multilinguals, the role of MIP in promoting EFL learners’ cognitive ability, perception of phonetic units, vocabulary retention and memorization through the use of online sources, the role of attribution theory in perceptions of success and failure, anxiety and cognitive processing in EFL, the perceptions of code switcing in EFL classes are discussed.
