Foreign language teaching has evolved over time, shifting from focusing on linguistic skills like grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation to focusing on cognitive competence. This shift acknowledges that language learning is not just about memorizing vocabulary or mastering grammatical rules but also involves developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. This article describes the importance of improving students' linguo-cognitive competence while teaching foreign language and its impact on language acquisition process. Moreover, the way how linguo-cognitive competence contributes to cultural and contextual understanding and the role of cognitive flexibility in this process are fully explained.
