SUGGESTOPEDIA

SUGGESTOPEDIA

Suggestopedia is a method of teaching, which focuses on how to handle the relationship between mental potential and effectiveness of learning and is ideal for use in teaching speaking to young language learners (Xue, 2005. Methods introduced by a psychologist and educator Bulgaria, George Lazanov in 1975 Maleki (2005) believe that we are able to learn more than we think, as long as we use our brain power and mental capacity. Additionally, DePorter (2008) assumed that the human brain can process a large amount of material if given the right conditions for learning in the state of relaxation and stated that most of the students only use 5 to 10 percent of their mental capacity. Lazanov made Suggestopedia to learn that utilizes a relaxed state of mind for maximum retention of material. methof By using this kind of, memorize YLLs can get 25 times faster than conventional methods (Bowen, 2009).
Suggestopedia is an effective method based input with a combination desuggestion understood and suggestions to achieve super learning. The most important objective of Suggestopedia is to motivate more students to study mental potential and acquired by the suggestion. Desuggestion means unloading the memory bank, or backup, unwanted memories or block. Suggestion then means loading the memory with a memory bank and facilitate desired.

Lazanov (1978) cited in Lica (2008) argues that learners have difficulties in acquiring English as a second language because the students are afraid to make mistakes. When learners are in this condition, the heart and increase blood pressure. He believes that there is a mental block in the brain learners' (affective filter). This block filters the input, so that students have difficulty mastering the language due to their fear. The combination desuggestion and suggestions is to lower the affective filter and mental potential motivating students to learn, which aims to accelerate the process by which they learn to understand and use the target language for communication to achieve super learning. It is the ultimate goal of Suggestopedia
Richard and Rogers (1998) stated that there are some parts where desuggestion theory and operation suggestion: Key Features of Suggestopedia: Main features of Suggestopedia:

Comfortable environment (Environment convenient)

In this type of teaching method, this class is very different from the general class. In the classroom, the chairs arranged semicircle and facing the black or white board to make the students pay more attention and more relaxed. Dim the lights in the classroom to make students more relaxed mind (Xue, 2005).
The use of music

One of the most unique of these methods is the use of Baroque music during the learning process. Ostrander and Schroeder cited in Harmer (1998) says that Baroque music, with 60 beats per minute and the specific rhythm, creating a kind of relaxed state of mind for maximum retention of the material. It is believed that Baroque music creates a level of relaxed concentration that facilitated the intake and retention of large amounts of material. Suggestopedic Baroque music helps students to achieve a certain state of relaxation, where revenues increased (Radle, 2008 Increased potential for learning included an increase in alpha brain and decreased blood preasure and heart rate. Music used also depends on the skills that are expected of students: grammar, exercise of imagination, make future plans, discussions, etc.

Peripheral Learning

The students acquire English language not only of direct instruction but also from direct instruction. It is driven by the presence in the learning environment posters and decorations featuring the target language and various grammatical information. By doing this, students can learn many things undirectly in the classroom or outside the classroom. For example, YLLs can make simple oral production using grammatical information on a poster or wall.

 Practice
The use of a variety of role-play, games, puzzles, etc. to review and consolidate learning. Here is an example of teaching speaking using role plays:
Teachers greeted students with English or their native language and told them that they would have a new and exciting experience in language learning.
The teacher asks the students to close their eyes and tell them that they will go to an English speaking country. For example, they are at the airport. "Now, you're at the airport America, listen to the people around you They talk to the immigration officials," the teacher said. The teacher asks them to open their eyes and bring them to class consciousness. He says, "Welcome to England".

Then, the teacher told them that they would have a new name and identity by showing a poster showing the names of the English language. The students would like to repeat the name of the teacher. Teachers help them to do a pantomime to help them understand their new identity as doctors, nurses, police, etc. Not using his name and ask some questions in English about his occupation. Teachers greet each student using the name and ask a few questions in English about the job .. Through its actions, the students understand the meaning and they answered 'yes' and not'.
 Teachers teach them a brief dialogue in English speech Afterwards, students will practice. The teacher tells the students that they are having a party and they had to introduce each other with their new name and identity. Furthermore, the teacher announces that the class is completed and they will have other activities that draw tomorrow and they do not have homework.

Profit
 As a specific method, Suggestopedia offers several benefits for use in second language classrooms for YLLs. There are several benefits in using Suggestopedia:
An input comprehesible based dessugestion and principles suggestions
By using the method of teaching, YLLs can lower their affective filters Suggestopedia class, in addition, held in a regular room with a comfortable chair, a practice that can also help them relax Teachers can do many other things to lower the affective filter. According Kharsen (1989) cited in Xue (2005) activities that allow students to get to know each other can help lower anxiety and make the students to adopt a new name for the duration of the courses may have the same effect.

The concept of Authority

Students remember best and most influenced by information coming from an authoritative source, the teacher.
Double-planedness theory
This refers to the study of two aspects. They are aspects of the conscious and the subconscious. YLLs can obtain the goal of teaching instruction of both direct instruction and the environment in which teaching takes place.

The main drawback of Suggestopedia are as follows:

Environmental restrictions

Most schools in countries Each class consists of 30 to 40 students. Each class consists of 30 to 40 students. One of the problems encountered in using this method is the number of students in the class. There must be 12 students in the class (Adamson, 1997).

The use of hypnosis

Some people say that Suggestopedia using hypnosis, so it has a profound effect bad for humans. Lazanov denied about it.

Infantilization learning

Suggestopedia conditioned class into a child-like situation. There are some students who do not like being treated like this because they think that thay adults.

Using Suggestopedia is not easy, especially in countries where education levels are low. It requires a professional and experienced teachers. Very few teachers who work in a position where they can use this system (Adamson, 1997). The teachers should take more training in order to utilize Suggestopedia in the classroom. Richards and Rogers (1998) cited in Xue (2005) stated that in doing Suggestopedia to YLLs, there are some suggestions:

(1)    The teacher showed absolute confidence in the method.

(2)    The teacher displays the behavior of voters in behavior and clothing.

(3)    Teach set correctly and strictly observe the early stages of the teaching process. This includes the selection and play music, as well as timeliness.

(4)   The teacher maintains a serious attitude towards the session.

(5)   The teacher gives a test and respond tactfully to poor papers (if any).

(6)   Stress global rather than analytical attitudes towards material.

(7)   The teacher maintains a simple enthusiasm
