Introduction

In this paper, we focus on implementing technology assisted Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) in English language teaching (ELT) where we explore whether NLP is applicable for ELT or not and how Technology may assist its implementation. For this purpose, we analyze the following points, i.e. experimental method, descriptive method, quasi-experimental method, ex-post facto method, time series method conclusion (Balsam, 1985). NLP is being taught by many inexperienced Neuro-Linguistic Programmers in Saudi Arabia and all across the Middle East.

These trainers recently learned NLP and do not have years of experience using it, and now people of Saudi Arabia can experience what others have been trying to explain. Richard Bandler and John Grinder coined the term Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) in the early seventies. It could be said that Neuro Linguistic Programming is regarding discovering excellence, and then developing ways for others to utilize those patterns to achieve comparable results (Balsam, 1985).

One definition cannot capture the meaning and definition of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). Various definition of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NPL) has been given by those individuals who have practiced and studied Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), but every single definition provides just a view which builds multi-dimensional angles on the difficult issue of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). The method through which quality, brilliance and performance is achieved by amazing people or an organization is studied by Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) studies these methods in order to attain such outcomes. These methods can be taught to reach similar heights of efficiencies (Bandler, 1979). These methods are known as the procedures, and a model through which application of such methods is possible by using Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is known as modeling.

Experimental method

In 1985, six methodological errors became the basis on which twenty-nine research studies were criticized by Einspruch & Forman, which concluded that a significant quantity of psychological study into Neuro Linguist Programming (NLP) concepts was unreliable due to the misunderstanding and errors in tentative blueprint, which compromised its empirical probability. Hence resulting in being questioned about the credibility of several of these methodological doubts on the facts, that they needlessly neglected quite a few potentially productive outcomes (Dorn, 1983). He continued that though when factoring in methodological errors, primary outcomes had been accomplished by the study.

Pattern #1: Humans Are Influenced by Associations

Psychological Underpinnings

In 1927, Pavlov explained the psychological realization of association through his experiments of classical conditioning. That is training dogs by constant stimuli of bell ringing before their meal time (Dorn, 1983). In the absence, of dog food he then reproduced the stimuli, and observed that after training these dogs to a stimulus the bell ringing was sufficient enough to make them salivate due to the trained association to those stimuli. Many psychological researchers have studied classical conditioning and associative learning, but the outcomes achieved from our meticulous research have occasionally been ...
