Unlocking Self-Expression Through NLP:Integrated Skills Activities  (English, Paperback, Baker Judith)

This book starts from the perspective of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and provides well over a hundred easy-to-use activities, each designed to create the wish and need in students to express themselves in English.

The benefits to students include

• a real desire to talk and write
• an improved relationship with the target language
• a growing sense of ownership of the target language
• a growth in psychological self-awareness
• a deepening awareness of fellow students and a growth of respect for them.

The activities are designed to make students forget they are in a language classroom. Teachers can feel confident that the ‘speaking’ or ‘writing’ parts of the lesson will actually work, owing to students’ real desire to express themselves.

Teachers do not require an expert knowledge of NLP practice to use this book, but those interested in knowing more are offered a glossary of terms and, a critical bibliography.
