Abstract
The cognitive competencies that compose the education domains have evolved to
allow learners to function in and adapt to the social conditions and the many
diversified techniques and strategies meant to adjust and evolve the teaching and
learning process. A more central concern in modern society is the EFL students‘
learning of evolutionarily basic competencies, such as reading, writing, and speaking.
Evolutionary educational psychology is the study of the relation between cognitive
knowledge as these influence academic learning in evolutionarily educational
contexts. One core goal of schools and schooling is to organize the activities of the
EFL Learners so that they acquire competencies, such as the ability to practice the
target language skills which are important in the wider fields. The paper at hand is a
trial experiment conducted with first year EFL learners at the department of English,
University of Bejaia. Therefore, the research methodology has been designed
according to this situation as most of the first year EFL learners present some kind of
shyness, apprehension and frustration in front of the new environment where only
English is used mostly in the speaking skill. Based on observation and
experimentation techniques and cemented by questionnaires as tools to gather reliable
data, we hypothesized that ideas designed by brain experts, who conducted
complicated experiments consisting of implementing and involving ―Brain Gym‖
before the lecture is delivered might be a future theory that will promote in class
collaborative movement as a learning aid and provide the EFL learners with creativity
and self expression. Therefore, in order to conduct this investigation on solid bases,
there is a sub- research question which will provide more insight and importance to
the main key research question: sub-question: How will selected teaching techniques
(safe place, kindness, comprehension, teacher language talk and modeling voice, and
instant reactions) impact the students‘ mood, behavior and overall conflicts and
difficulties? Key research question: what effects will well -structured and designed
language disciplines and brain gym strategies have on EFL students‘ behavior and
learning achievements? The experiment looked promising as most of the population
under study felt dynamic, collaborative, self confident and productive.
