HYPNOSIS applied to ESL

[teachoversea]

Does anyone know of any books or CDs in using light hypnotic techniques in teaching English (especially to Spanish speakers) to encourage concentration and participation?

Well I am also looking for answers to know the effectiveness of hypnosis, but not in the field of teaching english but in the ways it can help in attaining weight loss. I read an article a few days back which illustrated the use of hypnosis in treating obese patients, but the article did not mention anything about the pros and cons of the technique, so can someone give me a suitable link from where I can find the same?

What is the need to go for shortcuts or ways which arent even proved of their effectiveness? I mean everyone knows that if someone intends to lose weight then the best possible way is to evade the high calorie foods and getting into the exercising groove! still people come up trying to find shorter ways to attain the same. This is never possible.
