Suggestopedia
Suggestopedia is a method of foreign language teaching developed by Bulgarian doctor and psychiatrists Georgi Lazanov, who claimed about link between perception and learning, perceiving on paraconscious level. It makes use of dialogues, situations and translations to present and practice language, and in particular, makes use of music, visual images, and relaxation exercises to make learning more comfortable and effective. Suggestopedia is said to be a pedagogical application of “suggestology”, the influence of suggestion on human behavior. Suggestopedic texts have a rational structure and logical development. They are rich in cultural content and try to avoid all causes of anxiety, and attempt to bring out the “creative child” in each student.
