Suggestopedia

            Is a teaching method based on a modern understanding and was developed by Bulgarian psychotherapist Georgi Lozanov (1978).  Suggestopedia derived from suggestion and pedagogy if often used to refer to accelerated learning approaches. 

The method not only works at the conscious level of human mind but also the subconscious level.  Suggestopedia adopts a carefully structured approach:  presentation, first concert active concert, Second concert passive review and practice.  Presentation is the preparatory stage in which students are helped to relax and move in a positive frame.  First Concert (Active Concert) active presentation of the material to be learnt.  Second Concert (Passive Review) students are now invited to relax and listen to some Baroque music. Practice range of games, puzzles to review and consolidate the learning. 

These lesson of Suggestopedia have four phases:  Introduction were material in a playful manner instead of analyzing lexis and grammar, Concert session (active and passive) active session teacher reads with intoning as selected music is played and passive session the students relax and listen to the teacher reading a text  more calmly, Elaboration students finish sing classical songs and play games while the teacher acts more like a consultant and Production spontaneously speak and interact in the target language  without interruption or correction. 

The most important factors for teachers to acquire are covering a huge bulk of learning material, structuring the material in the suggestopaedic way, teacher shoulder be highly prestigious, reliable and credible, teacher should have a hundred percent of expectancy in positive result and teacher should love his/her students and teach them with personal participation through games, songs and classical type of arts and pleasure.
