The Effect of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) on Second Language Learning
Keywords:
Neuro-linguistic Programming, English Language Teaching, Second Language Learning, Strategies of NLPAbstract
This study is designed to gauge the effects of NLP on second language learning. NLP is related to the cognitive aspects of learning. The focus of this study is specifically its relationship with language learning. The problem identified in the context of Pakistan is that stakeholders in language teaching are not fully aware of the potential role of NLP-informed strategies in supporting language learning. The methodology incorporated classroom observations and questionnaires. Two English language teachers were observed, and a survey was conducted with their respective students to examine the extent to which the teachers employed selected NLP features and how students perceived their classroom learning experiences. The findings indicated that students taught by the teacher who demonstrated a greater use of NLP-related strategies reported more positive perceptions of the teaching–learning environment and learning experience. These findings suggest that greater awareness and thoughtful integration of selected NLP approaches in pedagogical practice may contribute to a more supportive classroom environment and facilitate second language learning. Further research using experimental designs and direct measures of learning outcomes is recommended.
