Building upon previous research demonstrating the program's effectiveness (Yusuf, 2024), this study explores learner experiences with the program's implementation, content, design, and perceived impact on their language skills. Thirty intermediate-level English learners participated, completing an online questionnaire comprising scaled and open-ended questions where quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Results revealed overwhelmingly positive perceptions of the LIRRA-NP, with participants finding it interesting, motivating, relevant, and beneficial. They particularly appreciated the program's content, novelty, and engaging activities. This study contributes to the optimization of L2 acquisition through neuroeducation by providing valuable learner feedback to inform the development of future programs and enhance student-centered learning methods.
