“…Potentiation of preexisting networks that may have been supportive of function such as language can be facilitated via Hebbian learning and other neuroplasticity mechanisms. Hebbian learning mechanisms are engaged through repeated patterns of neuronal firing, which is thought to strengthen these pathways and make them more efficient [2]. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to form new connections and/or reorganize to restore or regain function after some disruption in function.…”

Here, we review the literature on neurotypical individuals and individuals with post-stroke aphasia showing that right-hemisphere regions homologous to language network and other regions, like the right cerebellum, are activated in language tasks and support language even in healthy people. We propose that language recovery in post-stroke aphasia occurs largely by potentiating the right hemisphere network homologous to the language network and other networks that previously supported language to a lesser degree and by modulating connection strength between nodes of the right-hemisphere language network and undamaged nodes of the left-hemisphere language network. Based on this premise (supported by evidence we review), we propose that interventions should be aimed at potentiating the right-hemisphere language network through Hebbian learning or by augmenting connections between network nodes through neuroplasticity, such as non-invasive brain stimulation and perhaps modulation of neurotransmitters involved in neuroplasticity. We review aphasia treatment studies that have taken this approach. We conclude that further aphasia rehabilitation with this aim is justified.

At present, the development speed of international economic and cultural integration is accelerating. As one of the world’s common languages, English is of great significance in university teaching. As the foundation of English education, linguistics plays an irreplaceable role in the study of the nature, law and application of language. Studying linguistics can enable students to better understand and use English. Therefore, guided by the basic principles of English linguistics, discussing the countermeasures of English teaching plays a very important role in improving college students’ comprehensive ability of English listening, speaking, reading and writing and their ability to carry out cross-cultural communication in universities. This study will take English linguistics theory as the research object, and from the construction of reasonable teaching task, create reasonable teaching environment, build team linguistics learning model three aspects put forward the English linguistics theory in college English teaching strategy, for the development of college English teaching to provide certain guidance.
