THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NEUROLINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING IN IMPROVING SPEAKING SKILLS OF NON-ENGLISH MAJOR STUDENTS AT NHA TRANG UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The impact of Neurolinguistic Programming techniques on the improvement of speaking skills of non-English major students at Nha Trang University was examined in this study. This study followed the experimental approach, with a theoretical framework based on the principles of Neurolinguistics Programming. Fifty non-English major students in two random B1.2-level English classes were chosen to be in the experimental group and control group, and they experienced pre-tests and post-tests for further research. The study's findings showed that the majority of students were able to improve their speaking abilities in terms of some criteria implemented in marking their language performances including grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, discourse management and interactive communication. From the mentioned results, the researcher could contribute to the improvement and change in teaching English-speaking skills to non-English major students, and this could also create a great involvement in establishing innovative English-speaking teaching methodologies for English language teachers at the university.
