Session synopsis:
Unlocking Language Learning Through Metaphor: Clean Language and Neurolanguage Coaching®
As neurolanguage coaches, we understand that language learning is never just about grammar or vocabulary—it’s about the way the coachee makes sense of his/her learning in a brain friendly way.
One powerful tool we can also bring into our sessions is the use of Clean Language—a questioning technique developed by David Grove that invites learners to explore their inner world through their own metaphors.
This 50 minute workshop will focus on the 12 clean language questions and will contain 3 group activities.
