2.9.2.4. Presentation of text to classical musie

The students sitting in relaxing chairs have now been given a new text. The teacher tums on a tape recorder that has been set up with classical or romantic period musie. (e.g. Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Chopen.) After the tape has been playing for a few minutes, allowing students to get into the mood of the pleasant, stimulating, and emotionally moving musie, the teacher begins to read the text. Following the intonation of the musie, as if his voice were one of the instruments in the orchestra. This is the main characteristic of the active 'concert, so called because the students actively follow the text. This active concert generally lasts about 45 minutes. Because the course content is emotionally moving, the linguistic materiał gains access to the long-term memory bank.

2.9.2.5.    The actiyation phase

When the students return to class the following day, they have re-read the dialogues at home twice: once the night before, just before falling asleep, and once that moming on waking up. These times have been found to be the times of day when receptivity is greatest.

Apart from the last 20 minutes of class time - which is reserved for a passive concert — the entire day is devoted to the activation of the text presented the previous day. This activation takes the form of a quick succession of activities and games that are fast moving, funny, varied, stimulating, where the emphasis is on communication rather than language.

2.9.2.6.    The passive concert

The activation phase of the text is followed by the passive concert of the same text - “passive” because this time the students will just listen. The teacher dims the lights or draws the curtains so that the room is relaxing, with perhaps only a smali table lamp on so that the teacher is able to read. The students put their deck chairs into a reclining position, sit back and relax. The teacher tums on the tape recorder that has been set up with baroąue musie, and lets it play for about 5 minutes. Under the influence of Bach, Handel or Vivaldi, the students relax further, appearing to be passive; they fm themselves in a pleasant intermediate State somewhere between sleep and wakefulness. After the introductory movements of musie, the teacher begins to read the text with natural intonations, giving every utterance its real meaning. The students are mentally hypersensitive. Their physical energy is being transformed into mental energy, which makes them highly receptive. They are able to absorb much morę than when they are physically active.

2.92.1. The adaptation phase

The fourth ąuarter of every lesson differs from the activation phase in that the situations, games, and activities here do not stay as close to the actual text.

2.9.2.8. Tests

At the beginning and end of every training session, students take a 1,5-hour test that assesses their levels in written expression. These tests can be quite traditional: they determine objective levels before and after the course, as well as the progress madę during the 4 or 5 weeks.

2.92.9. Grammar

After every three lessons a grammar lesson is slotted in. These lessons are perhaps the only occasions during a traditional course where students are systematically given grammatical explanations of what they will be practising before they actually do it.

2.9.2.10. The teacher

Central to the success or failure of accelerated learning is the teacher. The whole suggestopedic system rests on her or him. He or she is the medium through which everything passes. The teacher’s task is to bring about a tension-free and joyful atmosphere, where everything is taught simultaneously on a macro andmicro levels.
