NOT A TEACHER

Have you considered the idea that Neuro-linguistic programming is perhaps a pseudoscience?

you.

1) I have absolutely no good experience of, or belief in, NLP so I won't be discussing that here.
2) I'm really not sure that this forum is the right place for this. Perhaps if you posted it in the "Teaching English" section, you would have more luck.
3) I have no idea why your original post was in black and red - I couldn't see any connection between the words in the same colours. I changed your post into all black and then put my corrections and comments in red.
4) Remember to finish every sentence with the relevant punctuation mark - full stop, question mark, exclamation mark.
5) Do not put a space before a comma or a question mark.
6) There is only one "u" in "you".

I would start with Rumjahn Hoosain, University of Hong Kong, any of his psycholinguistics texts, and see what interests you from there.

I have logged in to this wonderful site years ago , but I haven't used it that much , that is why I do not know about this section .
"3) I have no idea why your original post was in black and red - I couldn't see any connection between the words in the same colours. I changed your post into all black and then put my corrections and comments in red."
There was no connection between the words in the same colors,I just did it at random for diversity of colors,I did not think it matters .I thank you for your comments, and I will certainly read them and take them into consideration.
Thank you again

If you are currently, or are going to be, teaching English, please review your use of punctuation.

- Don't put a space before a comma.
- Put a space after a comma.
- Don't use a capital letter after a comma (unless using "I" or a proper noun).
- Capitalise the first word after a full stop.
- Don't put a space before a full stop.
- Always put a space after a full stop.

Please don't just randomly assign colours to the words in your posts. It makes them very difficult to read.

Isn't NLP brainwashing? :-D

I'd just use a little bit of charm. Should work just as well as any other tactic

What could be wrong with the assumption that actually there is no failure in second language acquisition? Why knowing a bit more about what is behind language learning can be brainwashing?

When I am in class as a student I don't want to be charmed by anyone. All I want, and actually am ready to pay for, is the result.
Needless to say, a good rapport helps a lot but only in case it has genuine disposition in the background

Easy now!

Neuro Linguistic programming just sounds a little bit like hypnotism to me (I think a lot of hypnotists use this technique) and I prefer to use charm in my classes (which perhaps is a form of hypnotism too!). I find charm to be synonymous with 'good rapport'. I dont think of it as just sex appeal :lol: I have very little of that

Have a good day and happy teaching / learning

Dave
