The document discusses Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Desuggestopedia (DESU) teaching methods. It defines key terms like approach, method, techniques and procedures. Participants engage in challenges to order observation notes and discussions in pairs and groups about the principles of CLT and DESU. The document also provides examples of common techniques used in both methods like role-plays, games and authentic materials for CLT and positive suggestion, choosing new identities and concerts for DESU. It concludes with a reflection on applying the techniques and a thank you.
