This article examines the integration of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques into EFL speaking exercises to improve learners' self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and speaking proficiency. The significance of this research lies in addressing common challenges in EFL education, such as learner anxiety and lack of self-confidence. The methodology utilizes NLP tools such as anchoring, modeling, and state management to enhance students' emotional regulation and communication skills. The results demonstrate significant improvements in learners’ pronunciation, fluency, and self-confidence. This study contributes scientifically by proposing an NLP-based framework for EFL instruction and practically by providing a structured set of exercises for educators to implement.
