Lozanov. It is a specific set of learning recommendations derived from suggestology. Lozanov introduced the idea that students naturally set up psychological barriers to learning (Motsok n.d.) Suggestopedia seeks to use those influences and redirect them in order to optimize learning
Suggestopedia is linked to yoga and Soviet psychology. Decoration, furniture, arrangement of the classroom, the use of music, and the authoritative behavior of the teacher are remarkable characteristics of this method.
AWAKE ASLEEP AWARE ALERT ATTENTIVE AROUSED ANXIOUS AGONIZED ATTENTION AND MEMORY STUDIES Most learning takes place in a relaxed but focused state Centrality of music and musical rhythm to learning are important features in suggestopedia Music is used to relax learners as well as to structure, pace, and punctuate the presentation of linguistic material
Theory of Language Lozanov does not articulate a theory of language. Lexis is central Lexical translation rather than contextualization is stressed Home study of recordings of whole meaninful texts is also recommended
The texts should have emotional content Theory of Learning Suggestion is at the heart of suggestopedia. Suggestopedia and hypnosis are distinct concepts. Desuggestion: Unloading the memory banks (reserves) of unwanted or blocking memories Suggestion: Loading the memory banks with desired and facilitating memories Components through which Dessugestion-Suggestion Operate Authority Infantilization Double-Planedness Intonation, Rhythm, and Concert Pseudo-passiveness Authority People remember best and are most influenced by information coming from an authoritative source. Self-confidence, personal distance, acting ability, and high positive attitude give an authoritative air to the teacher
Infantilization The learner participates in role- playing, games, songs, or gymnastic activities to recover self-confidence, spontaneity, and receptivity.
Double-Planedness Students learn from the effect of direct instruction and from the environment in which the instruction takes place
Intonation, Rhythm, and Concert Pseudo-passiveness Changing the tone and rhythm of presented material helps to avoid boredom, to dramatize, emotionalize, and contextualize linguistic material. Pseudo-passiveness is the state optimal for learning. The type of music is determinant for learning success. The rate of presentation of material to be learned within the rhythmic pattern is keyed to the rhythm Objectives Suggestopedia seeks to deliver advanced conversational proficiency quickly. It seeks students to master lists of vocabulary pairs Memorization of vocabulary is an important goal in suggestopedia The Syllabus Suggestopedia courses last 30 days and have 10 units of study. The central focus of each unit is a dialogue consisting of 1200 words with accompanying vocabulary list and grammatical commentary Unit studies are organized around 3 days. Day 1: Discussion of the general content of the unit dialogue. Day 2 and 3 are spent in primary and secondary elaboration of the text
Students are explained the attitude they should have Students are established in a positive, relaxed, and confident state for learning. Students are given a new name and a new biography
Types of Learning and Teaching Activities Imitation Question and Answer Role play Listening activities
Those activities are usually presented in the pre-session phase Learner Roles Students expected to be commited to the class and its activities They should immerse themselves in the procedures of the method. Learners are expected to tolerate and encourage their own infantilization process Teacher Roles Teachers are expected to create situations in which the learner is most suggestible and then to present linguistic material in a way most likely to encourage positive reception and retention by the learner Show confidence in the method Show fastidious conduct in manners and dress Organize properly and strictly observe the initial stages of the teaching process. Maintain a solemn attitude towards the session
Role of Instructional Materials Direct support materials: Text and tape Indirect support materials: Classroom fixtures and music Learning environment (appearance of the classroom, furniture, and the music) is essential in this method. Procedure 1) Oral Review Section: Material previously learned is used as the basis for discussion, and the discussion develops like seminar. This session includes micro-studies and macro-studies. Microstudies: Grammar, vocabulary, and precise questions and answers are emphasized
Macrostudies: Consisting of role playing and innovative language constructions 2) Presentation and discussion of the new material: It consists of observing a new dialogue and its native language translation and discussing various issues of grammar, content, or vocabulary 3) Seance or concert session: With students sitting in specially constructed chairs arranged in a circle, the teacher conducts yoga breathing and meditation exercises as the new material is introduced and rehearsed using dialogues. Students follow along with a written version of the new material, as they listen to Baroque music. Danesi (2003) Conclusions Suggestopedia method has received both positive and critical responses. The air of science is what gives suggestopedia its authority in the eyes of students and prepares them to expect success. Determining which current ritual placebo system carries most authority with students is one of the tasks of the suggestopedic leader Our task is to take the suggestopedic techniques that appear effective and that harmonize with other second language teaching techniques
