Mario Rinvolucri
Pilgrims, UK
 
Exercises derived from NLP and moulded into language work
 
You will leave this workshop with a bagful of activities that you can directly use with intermediate and advanced students, exercises designed to help Finnish students to reach a level of loquacity that is normal to speaking target languages like English, French, German, Russian etc.. Neuro-Linguistic-Programming is a rich "feeder field" for teaching foreign languages, as you will see for yourself in this workshop. 
 
Back-up text: UNLEASHING SELF EXPRESION THROUGH NLP, Judy Baker, Delta, 2005.
