  3. Georgi Lozanov; originator of Suggestopedia

  4. SUGGESTOPEDIA(SUG) Suggestopedia: (Super learning): psychological barriers are the main causes of failure in language learning. These barriers should be removed.

  5. What is going on here?

  6. SUG: These barriers are fear of bad performance, limited ability to learn, and failure, so our full mental powers are not revealed.

  7. Visualization/Pseudo state

  8. SUG Suggestology: how to harness and redirect mental capacity for maximum learning. It is based on Desuggestion and Suggestion

  9. Suggestopeia; desuggestopedia

  10. SUG: Desuggestion: unloading mental reserves of unwanted memories. Suggestion: loading the reserves with facilitating memories.

  11. SUG: Basics of Suggestology: 1. Authority: the teacher’s C. V., his belief in the method and his manner are valued (the placebo effect).

  12. SUG: 2. Infantalization: students take the role of a child (games, songs, gymnastic exercises, … ).

  13. SUG Principles: • Learning is facilitated in comfort. • Peripheral learning is valued.

  14. SUG 3. Students must respect and trust the teacher’s authority. 4. The teacher “desuggests” the barriers: L2 learning is fun.

  15. Suggestopedia 5. Students’ imagination is activated (Suggestion). 6. Students’ confidence is raised (Suggestion).

  16. Suggestopedia: Principles 7. Choosing new names and biographies enhances feeling of security (suggestion). 8. Easy to handle dialogs come first.

  17. Suggestopedia: 9. Students’ attention is off the Form (structure) and on communication. 10. The lessons indirectly enhance positive Suggestions.

  18. Suggestopedia: 11. Grammar and vocabulary are taught very superficially. 12. Mother tongue and translation are used to transfer meaning.

  19. Suggestopedia: 13. Communication takes places on two planes: language message is the conscious level; music is the subconscious level. They go together. Decoration of the environment is so important.

  20. Suggestopedia: 14. To overcome the barriers, a pseudo-passive state is needed. 15. Homework is done at night and in the morning. 16. Dramatization and fantasy reduce the barriers to learning. 17. The arts (music, drama, … ) should be part of the process of learning.

  21. Suggestopedia 18. Novelty is the to motivation (learning activities are varied). 19. Infantalization is the key factor. A childlike attitude to learning helps a lot. 20. In some activities the conscious attention focuses on using L2, not on the structure and form. 21.Errors are tolerated and corrected indirectly later.

  22. Summary • Who would give me summary of today’s lecture? • Suggestion • Desuggestion • Basic Concepts: Authority; Infantilization • Comfort • Peripheral Learning • Teacher de-suggest the barriers and makes learning fun • Student must respect the teacher and accept his authority • Grammar and vocabulary are taught superficially • MT and Translation are used to communicate meanings • Errors are tolerated and corrected indirectly later.
