NLP Meta-Modeling Questions: The Art of Exploring the Deep Structure of a Person‟s Model
The aim of this project was to analyse the role of one of the most important models of Neuro-Linguistic Programming in language learning – Meta-Model which reconnects language with experiences, and can be used for gathering information, clarifying meanings, identifing limitations, opening up choices and observing and mapping the successful behaviours of other people. This study focuses on the following aspects of language pedagogy. 1. How does a language teacher use his/her language patterns or linguistic ability in order to challenge their student‟s beliefs and encourage them to refine their understanding and express themselves with more clarity? Especially with those students who are learning language for the first time – let‟s say a foreign language – just because a student is exposed to teaching does not mean that they are learning anything. Blackerby (2002a)i believes we have presupposed that students know how to learn in the classroom and perform the academic tasks we assign to them and often they do not; and a large number of students have been traumatised by their inability to succeed in school. 2. How does a language learner understand, explore and model the language teacher‟s excellence. Meta Model is an extremely effective set of questioning tools that is designed to break down what a person does well into a teachable form so that one can learn to do it and reproduce the results approximately with the same effect. Background The Meta-Model was originally presented in The Structure of Magic I: A Book About Language and Therapy by Bandler and Grinder, co-founders of
