The Effect of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) on Reading Comprehension in English for Specific Purposes Courses

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) has potential to help language learners; however, it has received scant attention. The present study was an attempt to investigate the effect of NLP techniques on reading comprehension of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners at an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course. To achieve this goal, two intact classes of students were selected to form an experimental group (n=30) and a control group (n=30). A reading pretest (based on the course content) was given to all participants. The sensory learning styles of the participants were diagnosed using Reid's (1987) leaning style questionnaire, and the participants in the experimental group were familiarized with NLP techniques to be able to implement these techniques in their reading. In the control group, the conventional approach to teach ESP reading was used. Considering the analysis of posttest results through ANCOVA, it was found that implementation of NLP techniques can have significant effect on reading comprehension of Iranian undergraduate EFL learners. Pedagogical implications are discussed.

The Effect of NLP (Accelerated Learning) on Iranian EFL Learner’s Listening Comprehension

the present study was an attempt to investigate the impact of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) strategies and specifically Accelerated Learning on Iranian EFL learner's listening comprehension and detailed listening. To fulfill the purpose of this study, a total number of 30 Iranian EFL learners studying as Cambridge ESOL KET students were selected through stratified sampling procedure. They were divided in two control and experimental groups with 10 and 20 learners in each group respectively. Each group took a VAK questionnaire, a pre –test and a treatment process of 12 sessions and a posttest. In the experimental group the teacher conducted a set of short videos and mixed methods based on Accelerated Learning as one of neuro linguistic programming techniques. In control group a set of limited short videos conducted. On the last session, the participants of both groups took a post- test to measure their achievement of listening comprehension and detailed listening. This research suggests that accelerated learning is much more dynamic and has a significant effect on listening comprehension, detailed listening and, different learning styles, which hypothesizes that all VAK learner's language processing follow one another in a strictly accelerated manner. Statistically, the effect of accelerated learning on visual, auditory and kinesthetic learner's listening comprehension is 87, 93 and 85 percent respectively.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of treatments for acrophobia.

To review the literature on the comparative efficacy of psychological, behavioural and medical therapies for acrophobia (fear of heights). Multiple databases were searched through the Cochrane Common Mental Disorders review group on 1 December 2015. The data were extracted independently and were pooled using RevMan version 5.3.5. The main outcome measures were changes from baseline on questionnaires for measurement of fear of heights, such as the Acrophobia Questionnaire (AQ), Attitude Towards Height Questionnaire (ATHQ), and behavioural avoidance tests. Individual and pooled analyses were conducted. Sixteen studies were included. Analysis of pooled outcomes showed that desensitisation (DS) measured by the post-test AQ anxiety score (standardised mean difference [SMD], -1.24; 95% CI, -1.88 to -0.60) and in vivo exposure (IVE) were effective in the short term compared with control (SMD, -0.74; 95% CI, -1.22 to -0.25). IVE was not effective in the long term (SMD, -0.34; 95%CI -0.76 to 0.08) and there were no follow-up data for DS. Virtual reality exposure (VRE) therapy was effective when assessed with the ATHQ but not the AQ. Augmentation of VRE with medication was promising. The number needed to treat (NNT) ranged from 1.4 (95% CI, 1.0 to 2.2) for IVE therapy with oppositional actions (a psychological process) versus waitlist control to an NNT of 6.0 (95% CI, 2.8 to 35.5) for the rapid phobia cure (a neurolinguistic programming technique) versus a mindfulness exercise as the control activity. It was often unclear if there were biases in the included studies. A range of therapies are effective for acrophobia in the short term but not in the long term. Many of the comparative studies showed equivalence between therapies, but this finding may be due to a type II statistical error. The quality of reporting was poor in most studies.

The Effect of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Techniques on Young Iranian EFL Learners’ Motivation, Learning Improvement, and on Teacher's Success

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) techniques can help EFL learners become successful by increasing their motivation, by decreasing their anxiety leading to learning improvement. But much research has shown a poor understanding of NLP, and suffers from methodological problems as well. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of NLP techniques on young Iranian EFL learners’ level of motivation, learning improvement and teacher's success. Sixty students from a junior school in Iran were randomly assigned to two groups of thirty each. The experimental group was taught from the prescribed text aided by NLP techniques. The control group received no treatment. In order to see whether NLP techniques had a significant effect on the learners’ motivation, an Attitude/Motivation questionnaire was administered to the two groups before and at the end of teaching sessions that lasted for twelve weeks, in the form of a pre-test and a post test. The learning improvement was assessed on the basis of the related tasks administered to the students in both groups. Moreover, a questionnaire was administered to the teacher(s) in the form of an interview to see whether the application of NLP techniques was an added criterion to the teacher's success. The results of the independent samples t-test and content analysis indicated that the young Iranian EFL learners of English not only increased on their motivation level as a result of receiving NLP techniques, but showed a considerable improvement in EFL proficiency. Furthermore, NLP techniques contributed positively to teacher's success. The results emphasized the importance of NLP techniques in EFL settings by enabling the teacher to communicate better with students, strengthen the learning environment, and develop positive interaction that would increase academic effectiveness, motivation and proficiency of learners.

Sensory submodalities testing in neurolinguistic programming, part of mental training

Abstract Introduction: this study is part of a larger work, which involves increasing sporting performance by applying mental training techniques - special techniques of neurolinguistic programming. In this case we will discuss some aspects of the test application Jacobson S. (2011). Purpose of study and hypothesis: In neurolinguistic programming (NLP) we have studied the relationship between sensory submodalities, in accordance with the Jacobson test (2011). We wanted to check the degree of significance of the mean difference parameters studied and if the materiality result falls within the objective parameters. If ideomotor representations of athletes are completed with multiple sensations of all sensory submodalities such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory and gustatory, the possibility of applying the techniques of NLP (neurolinguistic programming) will have more effective results. Methods and material: two records were made by using two tests, test1 and test2 on master students of the University “Babes-Bolyai” Cluj-Napoca, from FEFS from APS department (training and sports performance). The statistical indicators were calculated on elements of descriptive statistics and the data is presented using indicators of centrality, location and distribution. Statistical analysis of non-parametric Wilcoxon test was used for sample pairs (data uneven distribution/rank). Materiality tests used was α=0.05 (5%), α=0.01 (1%) or α=0.001. Results and deliberations: to detect the correlation between the two variables we used the Spearman rank correlation coefficient (ρ). Statistical analysis was performed using the correlation coefficients Colton’s rule. It was found that no statistically significant differences were observed (p>0.05) in the statistical analysis of sample pairs Jacobson test values (times T1-T2). This is a result of the short timeframe - just one month - for objectives reasons. However, many of them appear in a good and a very good correlation to both tests, between the values of the items studied. Conclusions and recommendations: we want to continue with this study because the time difference between T1 and T2 was very small and we want to extend this study to a minimum of three months. All sensory submodalities are particularly important in achievingideomotor representations underlying mental training.

Application of Neuro-Linguistic Programming Techniques to Enhance the Motivation of At-Risk Student

Motivation is the trigger of an individual behavior to achieve an outcome. Despite motivation, there are values and beliefs that affected by the mind. By seeing the concept of mind as the controller of a person’s behavior, this study has been carried out using Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) as the intervention to increase the motivation of at-risk students in the prison. Intrinsic motivation in this study area consists of self-confidence, intention to change, interest to study and perspective to life after release from the jail. Pre and post experiment with qualitative approach by using interviews and observation to six students had been done. There are three main interventions from NLP that being used in this study that are Progressive Relaxation Technique, Discover Your True Values Technique and Circle of Excellence Technique. These three techniques had been carried out one by one and the data is related. All the data has been transcribed and analyzed to answer three main questions of this study. This study shows that application of NLP techniques increases the motivation of high risk students effectively. Overall, this study has been success to enhance the motivation among at-risk students in the prison and hopefully can be used to increase the quality of human resource produced through education. Keywords: Neuro-Linguistic Programmings, at-risk student

Pilot study using Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) in post-combat PTSD

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine if neurolinguistic programming (NLP) tools and techniques were effective in alleviating the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in clients from the Military and Emergency Services. Design/methodology/approach – This project ran at the “Healing the Wounds” charity in Bridgend. All clients were opportunistic, having self-referred to a charity specifically set up to support Veterans from the Armed Forces. In total, 29 clients from an initial cohort of 106 clients provided pre and post data using Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) and the NLP Wheel of Life scale. Interventions included a range of NLP techniques, addressing self-reported symptoms. Findings – Differences between DASS scores before and after treatment are very highly significant. t-test analysis infers that these results are indicative of the overall response from the clients in this study. Research limitations/implications – Limitations of the study include: client group; significant levels of incomplete data for the total study group; therapist effect and therapist training; treatment methodology. Originality/value – Data suggest that NLP has potential as a therapeutic tool in the treatment of symptoms of anxiety and depression associated with a self-report of PTSD. An observation is proposed that these candidates experience an improvement in their emotional state when NLP is used which is statistically significant (p<0.001) both for overall DASS score averages and also for each of the three DASS categories (Depression, Anxiety and Stress). Stress was the highest scoring category prior to treatment for these clients; the reduction in their stress symptoms contributed most substantially to the overall reduction in average DASS score, indicating an improvement in their emotional state.

Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) for Language Teachers: Revalidation of an NLP Scale

Enjoying much potential for learning and teaching, Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is regarded as a supplementary tool in L2 teaching and an approach to support learners to achieve excellence in their performance. Relying on its saliency, Pishghadam, Shayesteh, and Shapoori (2011) constructed and validated an NLP scale to examine the extent to which English language teachers employ NLP techniques in their practices. In accordance, this study attempted to revalidate the NLP scale through Rasch-rating scale model (RSM) and to underscore its importance in the field of language education. The WINSTEPS program was used to perform the Rasch measurement. Based on the analysis, items 5 and 9 were removed from the scale to maintain uni-dimensionality. To boot, given that the 5-category rating scale did not function satisfactorily, it was shifted to 3-category rating scale. At last, empirical findings were discussed, and implications were yielded in the context of English language teaching.

Neurolingvistički princip pozitivne intencije u lečenju migrena - prikaz slučaja

Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) found its application in psychotherapy as well, particularly in the treatment of psychosomatic disorders. Basis for the NLP Positive Intention Principles is that behind any behavior there is a subjectively positive intention. Baseline assumption upon which the principle is based states that all systems (particularly self-organized and 'cybernetic' systems) are directed towards adjustment. In the NLP framework, a person is considered as such system. It could be said that in majority of the cases a person has positive intention only for part of the system he/she is aware of and which the person identifies with. Great contribution of NLP is the discovery that expansion of the person's model of the world and adding new alternatives enable the person to make a wiser and healthier choice for realization of the same positive intention. NLP technique, Six Steps Reframing, leads to the loss of psychosomatic symptoms through experimenting with new options and adopting such options. Instead of painful and unpleasant behavior, a person adopts new options for realization of the same positive intention. LT, 43 years of age, is a college educated mother of two children. She has had occasional headaches for 26 years. For the last 18 years, those headaches mostly included different types of migraines. Intervention using the Six Steps Reframing Technique was done more than 4 years before publishing this work. During that period, she experienced only one moderate migraine attack.

The New Age Complimenting the Digital Age: Using Hypnosis, NLP and Time Line TherapyTM Techniques to Reduce Negative Emotions among People Involved with Information Technology

Although the amount of interaction with computers is increasing in the current digital age, humans are still facing emotional problems at work. This research looks at the effectiveness of new age techniques such as Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Time Line TherapyTM (TLT) in getting over, or reducing the intensity of negative emotions attached to memories of stressful events in the past among people involved with information technology (IT). This experimental research involved 20 test subjects from the IT department of various organisations and 32 control group subjects. Statistical T-Tests revealed that with the test group, there were significant reductions in intensity levels of negative emotions after undergoing the procedures compared with before, with all three methods. There were no significant changes in the control group.

Using a Modified Neurolinguistic Programming Swish Pattern With Couple Parasuicide and Suicide Survivors

Given the frequency of suicides and parasuicides and the often comorbid negatively experienced effects of these behaviors, it is likely that the vast majority of couples, marriage, and family counselors will at one time or another encounter couples who survive family members' parasuicides or suicides. This article succinctly describes a modified neurolinguistic programming technique the authors have found helpful with their surviving couples. The technique is based on their collective couples, marriage, and family counseling experiences and presents a strength-based perspective.

Self-esteem of raped women

This qualitative study shows the results of workshops held with health workers and public health users (raped women), aimed at raising these women's self-esteem and creating awareness among health workers who attend them. Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques were used to bring back life experiences, which contributed to a re-reading and to minimize causal factors of low self-esteem. Themes like repugnance, fear and the fruit of rape; image and place; death; revenge; support and solidarity; domestic violence and bad care delivery to victims were addressed during the meetings. The stories were transcribed and analyzed, preserving content fidelity. Experiences lived at home and with loved and admired people, and mainly experiences resulting from the rape were responsible for the low self-esteem. The evaluations indicated the workshops as an opportunity to reflect, to return to normal life and to reconstruct self-esteem, for the raped women as well for the health workers who deliver care to them.
