The importance of the human factor in anthropocentric linguistics and language teaching

This paper explores the significance of the human factor in anthropocentric linguistics and its implications for language teaching. Anthropocentric linguistics emphasizes the centrality of human cognition, culture, and interaction in language development and learning. The study investigates theoretical perspectives, pedagogical approaches, and empirical research findings that highlight the role of individual learners, social context, and cultural influences in language acquisition. The research employs a qualitative methodology, analyzing existing literature and case studies to illustrate the essential role of the human factor in linguistic competence. The findings suggest that language teaching methodologies should be adapted to the cognitive, emotional, and social needs of learners to enhance language acquisition.
