NLP is . . . a collection of techniques, patterns, and strategies for assisting

effective communication, personal growth and change, and learning. It is based
on a series of underlying assumptions about how the mind works and how
people act and interact.
(Revell and Norman 1997: 14)
Definition
 “NLP is an attitude which is an insatiable curiosity about human beings with a
methodology that leaves behind it a trail of techniques.“
Richard Bandler

“The strategies, tools and techniques of NLP represent an opportunity unlike any other
for the exploration of human functioning, or more precisely, that rare and valuable
subset of human functioning known as genius.“
John Grinder

A model of interpersonal communication chiefly concerned with the relationship between

successful patterns of behaviour and the subjective experiences underlying them

A system of alternative therapy based on this which seeks to educate people in self-awareness
and effective communication, and to change their patterns of mental and emotional behavior.

WHAT IS NLP?
NLP is a psychological approach that involves
analyzing strategies used by successful
individuals and applying them to reach a
personal goal. It relates thoughts, language, and
patterns of behavior learned through experience
to specific outcomes.
NLP studies brilliance and quality. The methods can be taught to
others so they too can get the same class of results. This process is
called 'modelling'.

How we structure our subjective and how we construct our internal

world from our experience and give it meaning. No event has
meaning in itself, we give it meaning, and different people may
give the same event different meanings.
'Neuro-Linguistic Programming' comes from the three

NLP has six basic
principles. They are
known as “the pillars
of NLP”.
Outcome Rapport

Feedback Flexibility
You: Your emotional state and level of skill

 You are the most important

part of any NLP intervention
 NLP is a tool that can be used
well or badly
 Your success depends on how
resourceful and skilful you
are.

01 to reality itself

We don't know what reality is. Our senses,

beliefs and past experiences give us a map of
the world from which to operate. NLP is the art
of changing these maps so we have greater
freedom of action.
 Having a choice is better than not

Always try to have a map that gives you the
widest number of choices. Always act to
increase choice.

People make the best choice they can at

A person always makes the best choice they can,

given their map of the world. The choice may be
self-defeating, bizarre or evil, but for them, it
seems the best way forward.

10 Mind and body form a system

When we think differently, our body change.

When we act differently, we change our
thoughts and feelings.

We process all information through

11 our senses

Developing your senses so they become more

acute gives you better information and helps
you think more clearly.
 Modelling successful performance leads
12 to excellence
If one person can do something, it is
possible to model it and teach it to others. In
this way everyone can learn to get better
results in their own way.

 It is the quality of relationship that results in mutual
Rapport trust and responsiveness.

 You gain rapport by understanding and

respecting the way another person sees the
world.
 It is essential for good communication. If
you have rapport, others will feel
acknowledged and immediately be more
responsive.
 It is possible to build rapport at many
levels, but all involve paying attention to
and respecting the other person.
 It means being clear about what you want and being able
Outcome to obtain from others what they want.

NLP is based around always thinking of outcomes in every

situation, so you are always acting in a purposeful way. An
outcome is what you want; a task is what you do to achieve
it.

Outcome thinking has basic three elements:

 Know your present situation: where you are now.
 Know your desired situation: where you want to be
 Plan your strategy: how to get from one to the other,
using the resources you have or creating new ones.
PRESENT STATE DESIRED STATE

(where you are but (where you want

prefer not to be) to be)

RESOURCES

(mental strategies, language, physiology,

emotional states, beliefs and values)
 Once you know what you want, you have to pay
Feedback attention to what you are getting, so you know what to
do next.

 What are you paying attention to? Most of the

time this means paying keen attention to your
senses- looking at, listening to and feeling what is
actually happening.
 Your senses are the only way you have of getting
direct feedback. You have only your senses to
make sense of the world.
 The information you get lets you know whether
you are on course for your goal.
 If what you are doing is not working, then do
Flexibility something else

 When you know what you want and you know

what you are getting, the more strategies you
have to achieve your outcome, the grater your
chance of success.
 The more choices you have -of emotional state,
communication style and perspective- the better
your results.
 NLP encourages governed by purpose in a
relationship of rapport and awareness.

1.Students are told that they are going on an
“inner grammatical experience”
2.-Check that they understand
vocabulary of the experience

Taste Bite

Lick Swallow

Spicy
3. Students are asked to relax, close
their eyes, and “go inside.”
4.-Teachers describe a situation.
5.-Ask the students to describe how they are

“The feeling of the present perfect.”
“I’m not hungry
anymore”
6.Ask them to say again the sentence that
describes the cause of the
way they feel
“I’ve eaten
chiken with
french fries”
7. Put a large piece of paper on the wall
with the words
“I’ve eaten chiken with french fries”
 8. On other pieces of paper, write
sentences
I’ve painted a picture. I’ve cooked a cake

I’ve learned English.

I’ve had a row with my I’ve finished my

boy/girlfriend homework
9. Ask students to stand in front of each sentence, close
their eyes, and strongly imagine what they have done in
order to be saying that sentence now
10. Students write on the paper how they feel (past) about
these sentences.
11. Leave the papers on the wall as a reminder of the
feeling link to the grammatical structure.

PP +Have/has + Verb(Past Participle)+ Compl.

13. Ask them to say sentences
“Yesterday, I ate a chicken.”
