FIVE MAIN

PRINCIPLES OF
DESUGGESTOPEDIA
1. Learning should be
characterized by the joy
and the absence of tension
and it is facilitated in a
cheerful environment.
2. Humans operate on a
conscious and
paraconscious level. A
student can learn from
what is present in the
environment even if his
attention is not directed
to it.
3. Suggestion is the means
to use the normally
unused mental reserves
for learning.
4. The teacher should
recognize that learners
bring certain
psychological barriers
with them to the learning
situation, and she should
attempt to desuggest
them.
5. If students are relaxed
and confident, they will
not need to try hard to
learn the language. It
will just come naturally
and easily.

to make the meaning of the dialog
clear.
2. The teacher also uses the native
language in the class when necessary.

uses the native language less and less.
