TASK 1:

The Paradigm within Which the Research Is Conducted

The research paper selected for this paper is written by Bozoglan in 2010, and the topic of this research is “Is NLP applicable to ELT?” the research paper is discussed in the following sections of this paper with a thorough analysis of the topic that is Implementing NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) in ELT (English language teaching) in Class room.

Paradigm and its Types

Paradigm - a system of ideas, views and concepts of different models to address many issues, and research methods adopted, how to plant, the scientific community in a certain historical period and during this period what are the main methodological basis for the entire global scientific community. Also, a paradigm is a set of rules that "govern" a particular discipline. Paradigms are "rules" that are usually assumed as "unquestionable truths" because they are "so obvious" that become transparent to those involved in them as the air for people and water for the fish (Evered et al. 2001).

There is permanent "paradigm shift" in education, economics, business, business, politics reflecting a permanent change in the rules. Those who anticipate the changes are the innovators.

A paradigm provides a conceptual framework for seeing and making sense of the social world. According to Burrell and Morgan (2007), "To be located in a particular paradigm is to view the world in a particular way." Also, indeed paradigm has been termed as "world view". While the concept of paradigms (Kuhn, 1971) supports various meanings and different uses, here we refer to a set of beliefs and attitudes as a worldview "shared" by a group of scientists involved in a particular methodology. The paradigm is a theoretical framework, or way of perception and understanding of the world, a group of scientists have taken (Evered et al. 2001).

Traditionally the subject of paradigms and its corresponding discussion has treated dichotomously: A qualitative methodology, explaining versus understanding, knowledge versus idiographic knowledge, positivist research versus humanistic research. This dichotomy stems from the two great philosophical traditions prevalent in our culture, realism and idealism (Davis et al. 2009).

Given the paradigmatic problem raises a number of positions that are listed below:
