3. The meaning of
desuggestopedia
suggest => desuggest
This method puts importance
on “desuggesting limitations on
learning.”

4. We set up psychological barriers to
learning and thus we do not use the
full mental powers we have; in order
to use our reserved capacity, the
limitations we think we have need to
be “desuggested.”

5. The goal of the teachers
The goal of the teachers using
the teaching method is to help
students eliminate and
overcome the barriers to
learning and increase their
communicative ability.

7. The teacher speaks confidently;
The teacher leads the class in various
activities involving the dialog, for
example, question-and-answer,
repetition, and translation;
The teacher should integrate
indirect positive suggestions (there is
no limit to what you can do) into the
learning situation.

8. Peripheral learning
We perceive much more in our
environment than that to which we
consciously attend.
“When there is a unity between
conscious and subconscious,
learning is enhanced.”

9. Fine arts
One of the ways the students’
mental reserves are
stimulated is through
integration of the fine arts-
music, drama, or paintings.

10. Enjoy your learning
The teacher gives the
students the impression that
learning is easy and enjoyable.
It’s desire that the students
achive a state of
‘infantilization`so they will be
more open to learning.

11. Choosing a new identity
This enhances students’
feeling of security and allows
them to be more open.

13. Active concert
Teacher will introduce a story as related in
the dialog and call the students’ attention
to some particular grammatical points that
arise in it, she reads the dialog in the
target language. Music is played. The
teacher begins a slow, dramatic reading,
synchronized in intonation with the music.
The music is classical and the teacher’s
voice rises and falls with the music.

14. Passive concert
In the phase, the students are asked
to put their scripts aside. They simply
listen as the teacher reads the dialog
at a normal rate of speed. The
teacher is seated and reads with
musical accompaniment.

15. Primary activation
The students playfully reread the
target language dialog out loud, as
individuals or in groups. Students are
asked to read the dialog in particular
manner: sadly, angrily, and cheerfully.

16. Creative adaptation
The students engage in various activities
designed to help them learn the new
material and use it spontaneously.
Activities particularly recommended for
this phase include singing, dancing,
dramatizations, and games.
