The NLP ... or Neuro linguistic programming

SecondNature
Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly.

Presuppostions


NLP makes a number of presuppositions. Presuppositions or assumptions are the beliefs a person will find useful in effecting changes to themselves and/or to the world. (Some people call these as the "givens".)


Examples of presuppositions:

  1. Communication is more than what you are saying.
  2. No one is wrong or broken. People work perfectly to accomplish what they are currently accomplishing.
  3. People already have all the resources they need.
  4. Behind every behavior is a positive intention.
  5. Every behavior is useful in some context.
  6. The meaning of a communication is the response you get.
  7. If you aren't getting the response you want, try something different.
  8. There is no such thing as failure. There is only feedback.
  9. Having choice is better than having no choice at all.
  10. In any system, the element with the most flexibility exerts the most influence.
  11. The map is not the territory.
  12. If someone can do something, anyone can learn it.
  13. You cannot fail to communicate.

No :)
I'm digging a bit deeper :)
I like these ideas, they somehow set my mind on positive thinking :shy:
Besides, I might come across some clever words that I could use to show off LOL

:)

Actually, what I am trying to prove is that learning/teaching a language does not imply only phonetics, vocabulary and grammar. Communication means not only what you are saying, but, I'd add, how you are saying it. And to be understood one should know not only the language itself but lots of minor details which are not taught at school.

There is no such thing as failure. There is only feedback. I like this most of all :)



NNZ

Sure :)

Though in most cases it depends on the point of view :)

Is there anything you can never accept, if you don't mind? :)

№ 4. I really doubt.
№12 is surely a far too big generalization. Not anyone.

Behind every behavior is a positive intention

I' doubted it as well until I came across a short doc on the Internet, which goes like that:

"All behaviour has a positive intention" -would lead the teacher to seek for a positive intent in the following situations:
a) A learner disagrees strongly with the teacher.
b) A student frequently comes late to class.
c) A student seeks to dominate discussions.
The possible positive intents here could be:
a) wanting to have expertise acknowledged
b) having other important priorities
c) needing to vocalize thoughts in order to internalize them. :)


If someone can do something, anyone can learn it.

Well, I can't see anything disputable in this if we assume that all people are different and unequal and they perform the same activities differently and with unequal success.

in case anyone got interested:
