Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the role of memory in the process of communication, with particular attention to the concepts of recollection and reminiscence and their applications in foreign language teaching. Beyond its functional role in vocabulary retention and grammar acquisition, memory is examined here as a complex cognitive and affective process essential to the construction of linguistic identity. Drawing on classical philosophy and modern cognitive science, the paper distinguishes between recollection—a conscious act of retrieval—and reminiscence—a spontaneous reactivation of latent knowledge. Practical applications in language teaching are proposed, aimed at fostering deep, authentic, and emotionally resonant learning.
