Desuggestopedia is a language teaching method created by Georgi Lozanov that aims to help students overcome barriers to learning through creating a relaxed environment. It stimulates students' mental reserves through integrating fine arts. Key principles include peripheral learning from one's environment, using translations to clarify meaning, facilitating learning in a cheerful way, and addressing students' feelings to reduce psychological barriers to acquiring a new language.

This method was created by Georgi Lozanov and
is an illustrative method, an aproach in which
there is respect for students‟ feelings.
Desuggestopedia, the application of the study of
suggestion to pedagogy, has been developed to
helps students eliminate the feeling that they
cannot be successful or the negative association
they may have toward studying and, thus, to help
them overcome the barriers to learning. One of
the ways the students‟ mental reserves are
stimulated is through integration of the fine arts.

reach the subconscious. The arts

as possible into the teaching process.

Fantasy reduces barriers to learning.
9. In an atmosphere of play, the conscious
attention of the learner does not focus
on linguistic forms, but rather on using
the language. Learning can be fun.

explain the grammar and vocabulary, but
not dwell on them. The bold print allows
the students focus to shift from the
whole text to the details before they
return to the whole text again. The
dynamic interplay between the whole and
parts is important.

7. A great deal of attention is given
to students‟ feelings in this
method. One of the fundamental
principles of the method is that if
students are relaxed and
confident, they will not need to try
hard to learn the language. It will
just come naturally and easily. It is
considered important in this
method that the psychological
barriers that students bring with
them be desuggested.
