Suggestopedia Flashcards
What is Suggestopedia?
The most conspicuous characteristics are furniture, decoration, and rearrangement of the classroom, the use of music, and the autoritative behavior of the teacher.
What is the theory of language underlying Suggestopedia?
The emphasis on memorization of vocabulary pairs suggests a view of language in which lexis is central and in which lexical translation is stressed.
What is the theory of learning underlying Suggestopedia?
Suggestion is at the heart of Suggestopedia. There are six principal theoretical components: authority, infantilization, double-planedness, intonation, rhythym, and concert pseudo-passiveness.
What are the objectives of Suggestopedia?
It aims to devilever advanced conversational proficiency quickly. It bases its learning claims on student mastery of prodigious lists of vocabulary pairs and suggests to the students that it is appropriate that they set such goals for themselves.
What kind of syllabus does Suggestopedia have?
A Suggestopedia course lasts 30 day and consists of 10 units of study. Classes are held four hours a day, six days a week. The central focus of each unit is a dialogue consisting of 1,200 words or so, and an acoompanying vocabulary list and grammatical commentary.
What are the types of teaching and learning activities?
These incluse imitation, question and answer, and role play. The types of activities that are more original to Suggestopedia are the listening activities, which concern the text and text vocabulary of each unit. These activities are typically part of the “pre-session” phase, which takes place at the first day of each unit.
What are the learner roles of Suggestopedia?
Students who volunteer for this course, are expected to be committed to the class and its activities. The mental state of the learners is critical to success; learners must avoid distractions and immerse themselves in the procedures of the method. They must not try to figure out, manipulate, or study the material presented but maintain a pseudo-passive state, in which the material rolls over and through them.
What are the teacher roles of Suggestopedia?
The primary role of the teacher is to create situations in which the learner is most suggestible and then present the linguistic material in a way most likely to encourage positive reception and retention by the learner.
What is the role of instructional materials in Suggestopedia?
Materials consist of direct support materials, primery text and audio, and indirect support materials, including classroom fixtures and music. The textbook should have emotional force, literary quality, and interesting characters. Language problems should be introduced in a way that does not worry or distrct students from the content.
