Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) has the potential to help language learners; however, it has received scant attention. Collingwood (2001), NLP is a technique to investigate the relationship between how our mind works (Neuro), how we communicant verbally and nonverbally (linguistic), and our patterns of behavior and feeling(program). The present…

This cross-sectional mixed methods study investigates how intense and authentic communication shapes learners' enjoyment (FLE), anxiety (FLCA), and boredom (FLCB) in class. Participants were 181 beginning English foreign language learners aged 11 in three secondary schools in France. Statistical analyses revealed that pupils in classes with a…

Second language learning success relies on instructional methodologies that foster guidance, engagement, motivation, creativity, and active learning in an inclusive environment. As language educators, it is important to establish instructional modes to entice positive behavior and stimulate the senses. The problem to be addressed by the study is…

The purpose of this study is to develop learning model of design thinking learning with a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) approach to enhance autonomous learning in early writing and reading. This study conducted base on problems that exist in strategies for teaching early writing and reading in elementary schools and seek solutions that can…
