Lozanov and The Teaching Text

The document summarizes Georgi Lozanov's teaching method of Suggestopedia. Some key aspects of Suggestopedia include using music and body movement to aid unconscious learning, developing the right hemisphere of the brain, and designing language materials that are vivid, melodic, and emotional to help learners absorb the target language peripherally. The document also provides an example of a Suggestopedia lesson cycle consisting of introductions, readings with music, elaborations through games and activities, and examples of how to design reading texts and present grammar.

Where theres a will, theres a way.

golden sun,
sweet heavenly melodies of birds songs
calm and sparkling water in the sun
swans cheerfully soaking up the sunlight
a vast prairie covered by a beautiful carpet
of green grass, colorful flowers and
fluttering butterflies wings
