Abstract

The use of brain-based teaching methodologies has been the subject of numerous studies undertaken all over the world. In Iran, research in this area has been done in the fields of biology, mathematics, and even English language. Therefore, it is thought that such study is necessary in the field of French language education in order to review methods and styles of instruction and assess how well they currently fit with learners' brain-based learning mechanisms. This study, which focuses on the brain and education, is classified as brain-based research. Its goal is to find out how well brain-based teaching-learning techniques work for adult learners in Iran in comparison to traditional approaches to teaching French as a foreign language. This study collects data via questionnaires using a qualitative approach based on organised interviews. Two groups make up the study population: 200 adult learners and 55 French language instructors in various national cities with varying levels of language skill. The questionnaires were completed by 49 teachers and 127 students in a random selection. Both groups received different surveys that subtly addressed brain-based teaching and learning techniques. Cronbach's alpha was used to assess the questionnaire's reliability, and the t-test was used to examine the research results. From the viewpoints of both teachers and students, the findings show that the use of brain-based teaching techniques in adult French language programmes significantly and favorably affects students' progress.
