School of foreign language teaching methods: Suggestopedia

Suggestopedia was founded by Bulgarian psychiatry psychologist G. Lozanov in the mid-1960s. The suggestion method advocates creating a high degree of motivation, establishing and stimulating people's potential, and organizing various unconscious suggestion factors in order to effectively complete learning tasks. This is where the suggestion method gets its name. In addition, the suggestive method uses an accelerated method for foreign language teaching, so it is also called Suggestive-Aceleratively Learning and Teaching (SALT).

The main teaching principles of the suggestion method are as follows:

1. A large amount of input of language materials: The amount of language materials specified in the syllabus of implicit teaching is several times greater than that specified in conventional foreign language teaching methods. According to experiments, 2,000 words can be learned in 120 class hours.

2. Consciousness and unconsciousness are unified. The foreign language learning process is a process in which brain thinking activities and emotions work at the same time. The left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for language and logical thinking, and the right hemisphere is responsible for non-verbal and image thinking. If you take steps to allow both hemispheres to function at the same time when learning a foreign language, it will be better than using one left hemisphere. The closer the connection between conscious and unconscious activities, the better the effect. The innovation of suggestion is that it concentrates unintentional signals to achieve a meaningful purpose.

3. Create a comfortable atmosphere. The foreign language learning environment is elegant and elegant. Comfortable soft chairs are arranged in a semicircle, with soft lighting and musical accompaniment. The input of language materials adopts drama, poetry and other methods, accompanied by rich expressions and gestures. In this harmonious environment, students' nervousness is eliminated, they feel comfortable, full of fun, and good at imagining. This kind of environment can stimulate students' super memory ability, accelerate memory efficiency, and improve learning results.

4． Use mother tongue translation and comparison. Use mother tongue translation and compare the similarities and differences between the two languages ??during the learning process to develop students' intelligence.

5. Establish a high degree of self-confidence. Encourage speaking foreign languages ??boldly and correct mistakes as little as possible to avoid creating tension.

6． Create natural situations: The suggestion method creates more than a dozen natural situations in the learning process, allowing students to apply the language materials they have learned to communicative situations. Scientific research has found that: on electroencephalography, the brain can produce four types of brain waves. When you are in a state of tension, your brain produces beta waves; when you feel sleepy, your brain waves turn into theta waves; when you fall into deep sleep, they turn into delta waves; when your body relaxes, your brain becomes active and you are constantly inspired. At that time, alpha brain waves were derived. The "Legendary Memory" animation is equipped with Rozanov's efficient memory background music. The rhythm of this music is consistent with the alpha brain waves (60 to 70 beats per minute), which can effectively help students relax and activate the right brain reception. The role of new information and moving it into long-term memory. Therefore, this kind of music will only have a good impact on children's students, and will never have a bad impact.
