Effectiveness of Technology Enabled Psycho-NLP on the Performance of High School Students in Spoken English

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to diagnose the problems of std. IX rural students in English language learning and to determine the effect of Psycho NLP on spoken English of rural students since students at rural high schools were not trained to speak in English. School students were not able to speak properly and they form wrong sentences in English (Ranjan, 2013). It is in this context, this experimentation was set to carry out with 24 rural-government school students of IX std.. Single group pre test and post test design was adopted for this study. Students’ problems in language learning were assessed with Diagnostic Assessment Scale (DAS). Based on the students’ language problems, the content was prepared and integrated in the experimentation. A model “Technology Enabled Psycho-NLP” was developed by the researchers based on literature and studies reviewed that have positive outcomes in NLP. The conceptual, technical and empirical evidences were established for the development of the model. At the end of the experimentation Spoken English of the students was assessed with Spoken English Assessment Scale (SEAS). The result of the study revealed that students taught through the strategy had significant improvements in Spoken English.
