Language comprehension involves a series of processes, thanks to which a linguistic or extra-linguistic connection contributes information and experience to our wealth of knowledge. The purpose of this article is to explore the scientific foundations of language comprehension by underscoring points crucial to understanding the relationship between contextualization and neurolinguistics. We understand natural language because we have dual knowledge: linguistic and experiential. This knowledge that comes from the outside is stored within in the form of internal representation of knowledge. The implications for foreign language teaching/learning are that input and activities for the students should be varied so as to stimulate both hemispheres of the brain, language and context, thus resulting in more efficient learning.
