This make the class funny for the students and also this make easier to learn the new language.
It is a language teaching method originated in the 1970s by Bulgarian psychologist Georgi Lozanov. The name combines the terms “suggestion” and “pedagogy”, the main idea being that accelerated learning can take place when accompanied by de-suggestion of psychological barriers and positive suggestion.
To this end lessons take place against a background of soothing music in an emotionally comforting environment, with the teacher actively planting and unplaiting thoughts in and from the learners’ minds.
