Abstract

This article explores the role that logical thinking plays in the process of learning a foreign language. We review key research on language learning and cognition, and analyze how logical reasoning abilities like pattern recognition, analogical thinking, and problem solving can aid learners in more effectively acquiring the vocabulary, grammar, and semantics of a new language. The findings suggest that explicitly training logical thinking alongside language skills could accelerate progress and lead to deeper understanding and facility with the new language.
