This glossary provides a systematic compilation of technical terms and fundamental concepts central to the field of Educational Psychology and Second Language Acquisition (SLA). As the study of learning moves from traditional teacher-centered models to complex cognitive and social frameworks, the language used to describe these processes has become increasingly specialized.
The purpose of this document is to bridge the gap between theoretical research and classroom practice. By mastering this terminology, students can engage more deeply with academic literature, improve their pedagogical precision, and better analyze the diverse learning processes occurring within their future classrooms.
