El aprendizaje eficazla programación neurolingüistica en enseñanza de L2

Abstract

In our current society the need for professional, competent and skillful educators to transmit knowledge and to ensure student involvement has become more demanding. The aim of this study is to consider possible strategies that may help upgrade the learning of a second language in secondary school. It was firstly considered that being able to identify the system by whichstudents in a classroom decode the world that surrounds them allows for a better understanding of our interlocutors and to choose the appropriate strategies that may help improve communication and render it more effective by establishing a profitable empathic relationship between teachers and pupils; therefore this study has focused on Neurolinguistic Programming (PNL) that may profitably be employed to formulate such appropriate strategies within a teaching context. PNL looks upon the individual as the protagonist of his/her own development and studiesthe ways in which the verbal language, both para-and non-verbal, influences learning; it is based on the assumption that each person has responses that are a kind of interface between the outer and the inner reality and represents a possibility of recognizing the preferential sensory channel (between the three, Auditory, Visual and Kinesthetic) through which the subject perceives information. The first part of this work presents a theoretical review of the literature relating to the project;in the following part, NLP techniques and notions suggested by the psycho-pedagogic scienceswere used in order to identify the different methods adopted both for the teaching and for the study of a second language.Field research has foregrounded the teaching styles mainly adoptedby a sample number of secondary school teachers and these results were compared to a sample number of foreign language teachers; subsequently these data were brought to bear on the results of field research into the learning styles of a sample number of students. Analysis of the teachers’ methods and strategies and reflection on their own mental processes on the part of students has highlighted a series of problems and related solutions that may lead to more effective learning.
