  1. Is there any scientific work to backup Lozanov's claims?

    Wagner and Tilney's (1983) claim that techniques adapted from Suggestopedia revealed "no significant improvements" and "when modes of presentation were compared those taught by a traditional classroom method learned significantly more".

    TESOL/TEFL/ESL is a muddy pond of quackery.

  2. I'd get annoyed as a student trying to listen to music during a reading, it wouldn't relax me at all but some good ideas eg with colours.

  3. The method is fantastic. It is exactly what students need. Students may still have to preview some of the words in the script before watching the show

  4. Great lesson it is refreshing, so much nonsense passes up for teaching these days it is encouraging to realise that some teachers are putting not only their soul into it as well as intelligence and thoughtfulness .

  5. The /d/ /t/ difference in pronunciation for past participle word ending in English is a very small, if not altogether irrelevant teaching point. Your tongue itself takes care of the pronunciation. It's pretty hard to do anything else. It's simply a phonological phenomenon

  6. Very insightful, I'm currently learning about this technique for the evaluation of a derived methodology and a curriculum designed around it, so this is very helpful in the absence of examining a class in person.
