Suggestopedia is a language teaching method that uses suggestion techniques like relaxing music and comfortable environments to lower students' anxiety and increase their ability to intake and retain new information through both direct and indirect learning. It aims to "liberate" students from negative beliefs about learning through techniques like Baroque music, role plays, and presenting material in a dramatic manner to help students learn more quickly and with less stress. Some potential limitations of the method include that it works best with smaller class sizes and some critics argue it could have negative psychological effects if used improperly.
Suggestoppedia
- 1. ANISAH
- 2. It is a method that desuggests the limitations that students have to help them to believe that they could be successful in learning, so it can cultivate students’ motivation in learning. Then, it is one of methods which concerns to students’ learning style because there are visual display, audio, and physical
- 3. The intended purpose of Suggestopedia was to enhance learning by tapping into the power of suggestion. Lozanov claims in that “suggestopedia is a system for liberation”; liberation from the “preliminary negative concept regarding the difficulties in the process of learning” that is established throughout their life in the society.
- 4. The use of music Peripheral Learning Confortable Environment Free Errors Homework is limited Music, drama and art are integrated in the learning process
- 5. Comfortable environment • In suggestopedia method, the classroom is not the same as common classrooms. In the classroom, the chairs are arranged semicircle and faced the black or white board in order to make the students pay more attention and get more relaxed. In addition, the light in the classroom is dim in order to make the students’ mind more relaxed The use of music • One of the most uniqueness of this method is the use of Baroque music during the learning process. Baroque music, with its 60 beats per minute and its specific rhythm, created the kind of relaxed states of mind for maximum retention of material. It is believed that Baroque music creates a level of relaxed concentration that facilitates the intput and retention of huge quantities of materials. Peripheral Learning • The students learn English not only from direct instruction but also from indirect instruction. It is encouraged through the presence in the learning environment of posters and decoration featuring the target language and various grammatical information.
- 6. Free Errors • In the teaching learning process, students who make mistakes are tolerated, for example in pronouncing the word. The emphasis is on the content not the structure. Grammar and vocabularies are presented and given treatment from the teachers, but not dwelt on. Homework is limited • Students reread materials given in the classroom once before they go to sleep at night and once in the morning before they get up. Music, drama and art are integrated in the learning process • They are integrated as often as possible.
- 7. The types of activities that are more original to suggestopedia are the listening activities, which concern the text and text vocabulary of each unit. These activities are typically part of the “pre-session phase”, which takes place on the first day of a new unit. The students first look at and discuss a new text with the teacher. In the second reading, students relax comfortably in reclining chairs and listen to the teacher read the text in a certain way. During the third reading the material is acted out by the instructor in a dramatic manner over a background of the special musical form described previously.
- 8. Show absolute confidence in the method. Display fastidious conduct in manners and dress. Organize properly, and strictly observe the initial stages of the teaching process-this includes choice and play of music, as well as punctuality. Maintain a solemn attitude towards the session. Give tests and respond tactfully to poor papers (if any). Stress global rather than analytical attitudes towards material. Maintain a modest enthusiasm.
- 9. Presentation Concert • First Concert • Second Concert Practice
- 10. Presentation Presentation is the basis of conducting Suggestopedia in class successfully. The main aim in this stage is to help students relaxed and move into a positive frame of mind, with the feeling that the learning is going to be easy and funny. Desuggestion and suggestion happen at this stage at the same time.
- 11. Concert First Concert This involves the active presentation of the material to be learnt. The original form of Suggestopedia presented by Lozanov consisted of the use of extended dialogues, often several pages in length, accompanied by vocabulary lists and observations on grammatical points. Typically these dialogues will be read aloud to students to the accompaniment of music. Second Concert The students are now guided to relax and listen to some Baroque music. The best choice of music according to Lozanov, with the text being studied very quietly in the background. During both types of reading, the learners will sit in comfortable seats, armchairs rather than classroom chairs, in a comfortable environment. After the readings of these long dialogues to the accompaniment of music, the teacher will then make use of the dialogues for more conventional language work. The music brings the students into the optimum mental state for the effortless acquisition of the material. The students, then, make and practice dialogue after they memorize the content of the materials.
- 12. Practice The use of a range of role-plays, games, puzzles, etc. to review and consolidate the learning.
- 13. 1. A comprehesible input based on dessugestion and suggestion principle By using this suggestopedia method, students can lower their affective filter. Suggestopedia classes, in addition, are held in ordinary rooms with comfortable chairs, a practice that may also help them relaxed. Teacher can do numerous other things to lower the affective filter. 2. Authority concept Students remember best and are most influenced by information coming from an authoritative source, teachers. 3. Double-planedness 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. 4. 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 the teacher for language input. For example, the students can make some sentences using the grammatical structure placed on the classroom’s wall, describe a particular place in an English speaking country by looking at the poster on the wall, etc. When the students are successful in doing such self-activities, they will be more confident.
- 14. Environment limitation Most schools in developing countries have large classes. Each class consists of 30 to 40 students. One of the problems faced in utilizing this method is the number of students in the class. There should be 12 students in the class (Adamson, 1997). 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 be child-like situation. There are some students who do not like to be treated like this as they think that thay are mature.
