“Neurolanguage Coaching™ is the efficient and fast
transfer of language knowledge and skills from the
Language Coach to the Language Coachee with
sustainable effects facilitated by brain based coaching,

LANGUAGE COACHING Definitions


1. How do we bring coaching principles and brain based learning
into the ESL classroom?
Repeated Practice: Giving students many opportunities to repeat
new structures for new wiring to happen. Introduce new concept,
test for recall, refresh the knowledge, test for recall again.
Stretching into Conscious Competence: When introducing a new
concept, don’t run to the rescue. Encourage them to work it out.

Bringing it into the


LANGUAGE COACHING classroom
Keeping the Limbic System Calm
 Placement & Permission
Experiential Learning
Studies of the brain and learning show that physical, emotional,
social involvement in learning increases engagement and
retention .
 Reflection, choice, and control over their learning.

Bringing it into the
