Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) A concept which is applied to many different areas such as psychology, holistic medicine, and learning in general. In the context of ELT, the basic ideas are:
  1. We construct our own inner model of the world according to our perceptual and learning preferences (mainly auditory, visual, kinesthetic).
  2. Teaching is most effective when it mirrors the student’s inner virtual world.
A key idea in NLP is the mind map, which helps the student to express in English his inner virtual world.
