Alumno (a): _____________________________________________________________________



I. Read the article

Suggestopedia is the name for a language teaching methodology developed in the 1970s by the Bulgarian psychologist Georgi Lozanov. The term comes from the words suggest and pedagogy or teaching.

The methodology rests on the belief that people have great mental abilities that they don't ordinarily use. However, under the right conditions these abilities can be opened up and people can learn great amounts of new material. The key to opening up people's mental power lies in achieving the right mental state- that is, they need to feel happy, relaxed, and open to new experiences.



In 1964, Lozanov realized a famous experiment with 14 language students at the University of Sofia to prove this point. . According to the published results, the students were able to memorize 1,000 new French words at 90 to 100 percent accuracy in a single session.


For students to achieve the ideal mental state for learning, they must be both physically and emotionally relaxed. Physical relaxation is provided by comfortable seating and attractive environment. The teacher has an important function in helping students to relax emotionally. The teacher's positive attitude make students feel that they are bounded to succeed.

Since the suggestopedia-trained teacher joins playfully in many activities and never criticizes a student, he or she is seen more as a friend. But, the teacher's role as an authority is also important to learning. Why? Because students are more likely to remember information that comes from someone they consider an expert. In a sense, for students to become suggestible it helps if they look upon the teacher as a parent and themselves as a child.



Because it affects people's moods so strongly, music plays an important role in suggestopedia. Lozanov says that Baroque music by composers such as Mozart, Vivaldi, and Handel is ideal for achieving the right mood for learning. He points to research which shows that Baroque music both relaxes the body and activates the brain, and recommends that students listen to Baroque music at various points in the lesson.
