Introducing Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP): A Practical Guide

Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) is an approach to psychotherapy and organizational change popular among people keen to live fuller, more successful, and more rewarding lives. Whether you’re a salesperson wanting to close more deals or a teacher who'd like to inspire their pupils, this Introducing Practical Guide is for you.

Neurolinguistic and Psycholinguistic Perspectives on SLA is a collection of twelve chapters, reporting on research results and presenting theoretical insights into the processes of language acquisition. The first part outlines the neurobiological processes which assist formation of additional language in the brain, while the second part offers psycholinguistic modelling of a number of components of second language competence.

This volume is the outcome of the author’s observations and puzzlement over seventeen years of teaching English and French as second languages, followed by 30 years of research into the neurolinguistic aspects of bilingualism. It examines, within the framework of a neurolinguistic theory of bilingualism (Paradis, 2004), the crucial and pervasive contributions made by declarative and procedural memory to the appropriation, representation and processing of a second language.
