“No one is entitled to deny a science that is unknown to him.” -Lozanov

Suggestopedy “suggesto” Latin verb suggero, suggessi, suggestum, to get under or suggest. “paedy” (pedy) Related to pedagogy and thus is connected to matters of teaching, learning and education. Hence, “suggestopedy” denotes education and instruction in which the laws and principles of suggestion are taken into account.

Georgi Lozanov Georgi: “Teachers are equally familiar with the basic requirements of pedagogy and the different teaching methods.”

QUESTiON Why then are there differences in results?”

Suggestology

Georgi Lozanov Now breathe in and breathe out. Think of your teachers way back in high school. There are always favorite teachers whose lessons are easy to remember and easy to understand and in whose classes the discipline is always good. There are also teachers who are just the opposite- whose lessons are difficult to remember and to understand, and who encounter disciplinary problems.

It is quite obvious that there exists a psychological technique- often not comprehended by the teachers themselves- that helps them to hold the attention of their students. Because of its intimate nature, this technique still remains outside the scope of pedagogy.

Suggestopedia - A teaching method based on the idea how the human brain works and how we can learn most effectively. It includes a rich sensory learning, a positive expectation of success and the use of a varied range of methods like dramatized texts, music, active participation in songs and games, etc.

Teachers' Roles •

• • • • •

Teacher should create situations in which learners are most suggestible and then to present linguistic material in a way most likely to encourage positive reception and retention by learners. Show absolute confidence in the method. Organize properly, and strictly observe the initial stages of the teaching process- this includes choice and play of music, as well as punctuality. Give tests and respond tactfully to poor papers. Maintain a modest enthusiasm. Teachers are expected to be skilled in acting, singing and psychotherapeutic techniques.

Three barriers to suggestion 1. Logical-critical * “That's not possible.” * “Others may be able to do that, but not me.” 2. Affective-emotional * “I won't do it. It just makes me feel uneasy. I can't explain it really. * “I'd rather not, thank you.”

3. Ethical * “I really think that's slightly dishonest.” * “I don't think it's fair.”

Typical Techniques • Classroom set-up • Peripheral Learning • Positive Suggestion • Visualization

• Choose a New Identity • Role-Play

Advantages of Suggestopedia • Students can lower their affective filter. • Classes are held in ordinary rooms with comfortable chairs, a practice that may also help them relaxed. • Authority concept • Students remember best and are more influenced by information coming from an authoritative source, teachers. • Double-plannedness theory: It refers to the learning from two aspects. They are the conscious aspect and the subconscious one. Students can acquire the aim of teaching instruction from both direct instruction and environment in which the teaching takes place. • Peripheral Learning: Suggestopedia encourages the students to apply language more independently, takes more personal responsibility for their own learning and get more confidence. Peripheral information can also help encourage students to be more experimental, and look to sources other than

Disadvantages of Suggestopedia • Environment limitation: Most schools in developing countries have large classes. Each class consists of 30-40 students. There should be 12 students in the class. • The use of hypnosis: Some people say that suggestopedia uses a hypnosis, so it has bad deep effects for human beings. Lazanov strongly denied about it. • Infantilization learning: Suggestopedia class is conditioned to be child-like situation. There are some students who do not like to be treated like this as they think that they are mature.

What suggestology could teach?  Teachers to exert an influence on the students not only with what they say, but also with the intonation of their voices, their smiles, gestures, clothes, movements and their whole attitude toward the students.  The physician not only on how to talk with his patients, but the inner approach he must take to gain their confidence.  The actor how to win the audience.  The writer how to touch the heart of the reader.

 The musician how to inspire the listener.  The athlete how to rally his energy and use it at the most strenuous moment to achieve victory. In fact, there is no sector of public life where suggestology could not be useful.
