Abstract


In the 1970s, Richard Bandler and John Grinder established Neuro- Linguistic Programming (NLP). NLP was originally utilized in psychology but has now been applied for educational contexts, especially in English language acquisition. The representational system, a fundamental component of NLP, intricately links to students' sensory modalities in the representation of their experiences. Grinder and Bandler presented five sensory modalities: visual, aural, kinesthetics, olfactory, and gustatory. The most often utilized representational system is called the primary representation. There are four ways of analysing primary representational system: predicate analysis, eye scanning patterns, Satir categories (body posture), and self-report questionnaires. This study provides a qualitative descriptive report of predicate analysis of students' Primary Representational System (PRS), by identifying sensory categories with relative predicate frequencies. Research data was collected through interview. The results showed that fifteen students preferred visual PRS, two students preferred auditory PRS, and eight students preferred kinesthetics PRS. Unveiling students' Primary Representational System (PRS) preferences can inform instructional design and enhance language learning effectiveness
