What is VAKOG & NLP?


VAKOG stands for “Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Olfactory and Gustatory (human sensory systems)”.
(Thefreedictionary.com, 2013)
And NLP stands for Neuro-linguistic programming. (Thefreedictionary.com, 2013)
According to researchers:
“NLP offers an innovative praxis, underpinned in principle by Bateson's epistemological thinking, which informs a distinctive methodology known as ‘modelling’.” (Tosey & Mathison, 2010)
In Layman terms “Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, USA in the 1970s” (wikipedia, 2013)

Studies and research have showed that NLP enhances the ability of the students to engage and contribute in the class and the schools have reported better quality of learning and teaching using NLP.  “NLP offers valuable insights in a technical sense on the psychological skills for understanding and influencing people.” (Carey, Churches, Hutchinson, Jones, & Tosey, 2010)

The implications of VAKOG in education are many like every teacher or student have their favourite sensory channel through which they want to gain or pass information. Generally the VAK is more evidently used. Use of OG in purpose of education is still under discussion.

VAKOG is a medium for NLP. NLP suggest in most circumstances people use mainly 4-5 senses like visual images, sound or speech, feelings, sense but also on e additional is self talk termed an audio internal. (NLP World Ltd, 2008)

To conclude VAKOG are the sensory mediums to impart NLP. But is not the only tool for imparting NLP.
