Neuro linguistic programming (NLP) is a technique developed in the 1970s to analyze communication and behavioral patterns. NLP examines the connection between neurological processes, language, and learned behaviors, and how these can be changed to achieve goals. NLP is now used in education to help students learn in different styles and gain better understanding. It gives teachers tools to identify student learning styles and communicate effectively with each type of learner. NLP shifts the focus from memorization to using fundamental learning processes like deletion of unnecessary information, distortion of information into understandable forms, and generalization of broad conclusions from learning.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Neuro linguistic programming is described as the
fundamental dynamics between mind and language and
how their interplay affects our body and behaviour.
• Neuro linguistic programming is a self developmental
technique.
• It is an approach to communication, personal development
and psychotherapy.

3. • Neuro linguistic programming was created by Richard
Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States in
1970s.
• In NLP, there is a connection between neurological
processes(neuro), language(linguistic) and behavioral
patterns learned through experience(programming).
• These can be changed to achieve specific goals in life.

4. • Neuro linguistic programming is the study about the way
the brain works and how the brain can be trained for the
purpose of betterment.
• Its purpose is to help individuals understand and take
control of their thought process and feeling and use them
to bring about positive change in their lives.
• Now it has gained momentum in the sphere of education
due to its effectiveness in helping students gain a better
understanding of their way they learn.

6. NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING
• Learning is defined as the process of obtaining knowledge.
Inorder to obtain knowledge, we have to process to
information and NLP deals specifically with various ways in
which we do that.
• NLP gives teachers an additional tool to identify the
learning styles of their students and help them to
understand how the language and materials they use can
influence students.

7. • This enables the teacher to develop clearer
communication techniques which ensure that each type of
learner has the best possible opportunity to take in
information.
• NLP techniques shift the focus from simple memorising
information to using and developing fundamental sensory
processes.
• NLP gives students more confidence in their ability to
learn, which in turn generates better results.

9. • Our perception of study is modified by three major
elements which are instantly recognisable in language
learning;
1) Deletion:-There is too much information for the
learner to handle, so one should delete
the unwanted things.
2) Distortion:-Shaping information into forms
which are understandable and
learnable.
3) Generalisation:-The way we learn, by taking the
information we have and drawing
broad conclusions.

1. RAPPORT
• NLP has specific techniques to learn how to establish and
maintain rapport.
• These include strategies such as matching body language
and posture, volume and speed of voice, use of register and
slang and also the distance of the speaker and the eye
contact.

12. 2. TEACHING/RE-TEACHING
• This concept was developed by Michael Grinder.
• In his view when we first present something new, we should
do it using all the representational channels.But some
learners may need more help in grasping the content.
• In this situation,comes the significance of re-teaching.

13. 3. MAINTAINING FLOW
• NLP fits in nicely with ‘FLOW THEORY’, the notion that learning
flows like water and that the best learning takes place when
uninterrupted.
• Successful learning takes place when the learners feel a sense of control
over what is happening in the classroom and receive positive feedback
from eachother and the teacher.
• Competitive and collaborative games,jokes,songs and well structured
information gap activities all help to maintain flow.

14. 4. CREATING POSITIVE STATES AND ANCHORING
• It is about motivation and maintaining positive attitudes to
learning.
• In NLP, a positive state is created through a mental image
formed by the process of achieving something mentally or
physically, and this state is anchored by a gesture, expression or
body movement which is repeated to maintain or recall the state.

15. CONCLUSION
• Neuro linguistic programming examines the cogs inside a
machine that is human mind; it helps us understand what drives
human behaviour.
• It focuses on how our thoughts, actions, emotions and numerous
other individual characteristics work together to affect how we
conduct ourselves.
• NLP helps us learn how to gain more control over what we
considered to be automatic functions of our own neurology.
• NLP help us re-evaluate the ways we handle tasks, engage in
conversations or respond-physically and emotionally to the
circumstances we are in.
