Neuro-linguistic Programming and Its Implications for English Language Learners and Teachers

Abstract

In the world we live in, education is praised as a base for training and nurturing future generations and teaching is considered as a valuable profession through which future generations are flourished. The main components of each educational system must work well in order to create a successful system and achieve the desired results. Teachers are considered as one of the key determinant factors and active decision-makers of any educational system. Learners are also taken into account as one of the main elements of the system who are instructed to reach some educational goals. Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), with high potential for English teaching and learning, is regarded as a supplementary technique which helps the teachers to develop outstanding skills like critical thinking, self-efficacy, and rapport which are necessary to bring on success and achievement to the education and to support learners to achieve excellence in their performance. The article first presents a brief history and definition of NLP. Then it is followed by some information about the main pillars of neuro-linguistic programming. The discussion then turns to understanding some of the implications of NLP for English language teachers and learners and its potential for educational success.

Neuro-linguistic Programming and Its Relationship with Psychological Flexibility Among Secondary School Students in Najran Region

“…The researchers attribute these results to the fact that high school students are still in a phase of cognitive and physical growth, and they have not reached the level of full maturity that would help them have a correct awareness of their neuro and linguistic programming. This aligns with what was indicated by Hedayat et al [44], stating that neuro-linguistic programming is a concept that grows with age. As individuals age, there is a greater likelihood of an increase in their levels of neuro-linguistic programming.…”

A Structural Framework for Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and its Consequence on Leadership Succession Planning Strategy Applying to the Leaders of King Khalid University and Qualified Personnel for Leadership Position

“…➢ The senses are how a person processes all information such as sound characteristics, breathing pattern, body position, facial signs, and external signals.

Yabancı Dil Olarak Türkçe Öğretiminde Alternatif Bir Model Önerisi: Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

“…NLP, öğrencilerin hem eğitim hem de kişisel yaşamlarını etkileyen etkili bir araç olduğu düşünülmektedir. NLP, yaşam kalitesini artıracak, insanın olumlu duygular geliştirmesine yardımcı olacak, ruhsal sorunların üstesinden gelecek, daha iyi kararlar alınmasına imkân tanıyacak, etkili iletişim kurulmasına ve dolayısıyla da dil gelişimini hızlandıracak güce sahiptir (Hedayat, Raissi ve Asl, 2020). NLP tamamıyla dil öğretimi üzerine ortaya çıkan bir yaklaşıma sahip değildir; ancak NLP'nin teknikleri ve ilkeleri, dil öğretimi içine dâhil edilebilir (Revell ve Norman, 1997) Yapılan bu araştırmalarda, NLP tekniklerinin belirleyici ölçüde anlamlı sonuçlar ve farklar ortaya çıkardığı belirtilmiştir (Targutay, 2010;Şaman, 2006;Abbassy, Dadour, Ibrahim, 2018;Yameen ve Iftikhar, 2014;Begum, Paulraj ve Banu, 2022;Güleç, 2012;Demir Dinçer, 2020).…”

“…Bu model, dil öğreticileri tarafından hesaba katılması gereken farklı öğrenme stillerine ve algısal tercihlere vurgu yapmaktadır. Bundan dolayı, dil öğrenme sürecindeki öğreniciler, temsil sistemleri olarak nitelendirilen bu beş duyu organını kullanmalıdır(Hedayat, Raissi ve Asl, 2020).NLP, sadece bir dil öğretim yöntemi değildir, aynı zamanda insanda var olan entelektüel ve psikolojik güce bütüncül bir yaklaşımdır(Baker ve Rinvolucri, 2005). NLP uygulayıcıları, dil öğreticilerin, NLP ilkelerini uygulamaları ve benimsemeleri neticesinde daha etkili bir öğretmen rolüne sahip olacaklarını düşünmektedir.…”
