What is the Suggestopedia Teaching Method? Suggestopedia is a 1970s teaching method that uses suggestion and psycho-physiology to create a relaxed and motivating environment for language learning. The method aims to help learners overcome psychological blocks and tap into their unconscious resources for learning. The teacher uses a variety of techniques, including drama, storytelling, and positive suggestion, to create an atmosphere of positive expectations and to encourage students to believe in their ability to learn the target language.
