Desuggestopedia is a language teaching method created by Georgi Lozanov, a Bulgarian psychiatrist. The goal is to eliminate psychological barriers to learning and increase communicative ability. Teachers aim to create a relaxed environment using music, colors, student roles and indirect positive suggestions. Lessons include rhythmic reading, translation and question/answer sessions. Student evaluation is based on classroom performance rather than tests.
