BACKGROUND
The originator of this method, Georgi Lozanov, believed
that language learning can occur at a much faster
rate than ordinarily transpires.
Слайд 4
SUGGESTOPEDIA
It is an approach to education whose primary
objective is to tap the extraordinary reserve capacities we
all possess but rarely if ever use.

Слайд 7
What are the goals of teachers who use
Desuggestopedia?
Teachers hope to accelerate the process by which students
learn to use a foreign language for everyday communication. In order to do this, more of the students’ mental powers must be tapped. This is accomplished by desuggesting the psychological barriers learners bring with them to the learning situation and using techniques to activate the “paraconscious” part of the mind, just below the fully- conscious mind.
Слайд 8
What is the role of the teacher? What
is the role of the students?
The teacher is the
authority in the classroom. In order for the method to be successful, the students must trust and respect him/her. If they trust the teacher, they can be more spontaneous and less inhibited.
Слайд 9
What are some characteristics of the teaching/Learning process?
A
Desuggestopedic course is conducted in a classroom which is
bright and cheerful. Posters displaying grammatical information about the target language are hung around the room in order to take advantage of students' peripheral learning. The posters are changed every week to create a sense of novelty in the environment.
Students select target language names and choose new occupations. During the course they create whole biographies to go along with their new identities.
The texts in handouts contain lengthy dialogs in the target language and next to a translation in native language. There are also some notes on vocabulary and grammar.
Слайд 10
What is the nature of student-teacher interaction?
The teacher
initiates interactions with the hole group of students and
with individuals right from the beginning of a language course. Initially, the students can only respond nonverbally or with a few target language words they have practiced. Later the students have more control of the target language and can respond more appropriately and even initiate interaction themselves.
Слайд 11
How are the feelings of the students dealt
with?
If students are relaxed and confident, they will not
need to try hard to learn the language. It will just come naturally and easily. The psychological barriers that students bring with them should be desuggested. Indirect positive suggestions are made to enhance students' self- confidence and to convince them that success is obtainable.
Слайд 12
. How is language viewed? How is culture
viewed?
Language is the first of two planes in the
two-plane process of communication. In the second plane are the factors which influence the linguistic message.
The culture which students learn concerns the everyday life of people who speak the language. The use of fine arts is also important in Desuggestopedic classes.
Слайд 13
What areas of language are emphasized? What Language
skills are emphasized?
Vocabulary is emphasized.
Speaking communicatively is emphasized.
Students also read in the target language and write.
Слайд 14
What is the role of the students’ native
language?
Native-language translation is used to make the meaning of
the dialog clear. The teacher also uses the native language in class when necessary. As the course proceeds, the teacher uses the native language less and less.
Слайд 15
How is evaluation accomplished?
Evaluation is conducted on students'
normal in-class performance and not through formal tests, which
would threaten the relaxed atmosphere considered essential for accelerated learning.
Слайд 16
How does the teacher respond to student errors?
Errors
are corrected gently, with the teacher using a soft
voice.
