Desuggestopedia

Desuggestopedia, also known as the “The Lozanov Method”, is a teaching method developed by the Bulgarian psychologist Georgi Lozanov in the 1970s. The method aims to create a relaxed and comfortable learning environment that encourages students to learn more efficiently and effectively.
Desuggestopedia is based on the theory that traditional methods of teaching are too limiting and do not make full use of the brain’s capacity to absorb information. Instead, it seeks to engage the subconscious mind, which Lozanov believed could retain much more information than the conscious mind alone.
In a typical Desuggestopedia classroom, the teacher creates a calming atmosphere by using soft music and comfortable chairs, and often decorates the classroom with posters and other visual aids. The teacher also uses a variety of techniques to help students relax, including guided meditation and breathing exercises.The teaching materials in Desuggestopedia are often presented in a way that is unconventional, with an emphasis on visual aids, such as posters, charts, and diagrams. The materials are designed to be engaging and interesting to the students, and are often presented in a way that is humorous or playful.
One of the key features of Desuggestopedia is the use of suggestion, or the idea that the subconscious mind can be influenced by positive messages. The teacher often uses positive affirmations and other forms of suggestion to help students feel more confident in their abilities and more receptive to learning.
