Abstract
The present research explores the formation of communicative competence in foreign languages in the context of modern electronic and digital society. A methodology is proposed based on the use of digital educational resources that simulate virtual urban environments. The main objective is to define and substantiate this methodology, based on the contributions of computer psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics and digital neuro-pedagogy.
The central hypothesis of the study is that the understanding of the foreign language learning process, with emphasis on the particularities of neurocognitive connections, is favored by the use of computer-mediated digital didactic technologies. In this sense, various electronic educational resources are explored that allow recreating communicative situations typical of urban planning, both in real and virtual spaces. The study is based on the analysis of a variety of educational communicative situations of virtual urban planning, taking the process of learning a foreign language itself as the research object. To do this, analogous situations of the real environment of a city are compared with the simulation of a virtual urban space. Through this analysis, we seek to clarify the concepts of "communicative competence", "virtual urbanism" and "digital technologies".
