Neurolinguists have recently demonstrated that language learning is a multifaceted process which activates simultaneously the modes of perception of the left and right cerebral hemispheres. Current brain research therefore points to the need for “bimodal” foreign language instruction ‐ that is, eclectic pedagogical practices which stimulate in tandem the brain's two hemispheres. This paper evaluates the “bimodality” of the theoretical model accepted by advocates of proficiency‐oriented instruction and recommends that further research be conducted to ascertain the effects on student proficiency of a “bimodal” pedagogical approach
