Suggestopedia
Contents Goals : The students are :
| Existing Classroom Practice As I once observed : The teacher and students are in the special class for English lesson with some facilities like good position of seat, some posters to create a good environment, and music player. The teacher presents a dialog in front of the students and explains the meaning by translating into their native language, and then the teacher asks the students to read it. The class is very fun and enjoyable; the teacher motivates the students’ mind by imagining the situation at the dialog so they can be easier to learn. The teacher asks the students to study the dialog at home. Then, the teacher points some students to demonstrate the dialog in front of the class and they have to express it according to the dialog whether sadly, angrily etc. then the teacher improve the dialog, this time all students are participating, they have to respond spontaneously. |

Students’ activities :
| As I was told : The students sit in round position so they can interact easily both with the other student and the teacher. Then the teacher play a dialog from the music player, the students listen carefully. The teacher explains the meaning of the dialog in their native language so the students can understand it. The teacher points the students who demonstrate so they have to interact with the other student normally without preparing it before. |
