Georgi Lozanov (22 de Julio de 1926, Sofía, Bulgaria) 1970

Georgi Lozanov developed the learning theory of Suggestopedia in the 1970s. Suggestopedia aims to remove psychological barriers to learning by creating a relaxed environment where students feel secure, relaxed, and self-confident. It emphasizes communication over error correction and teaches vocabulary explicitly while teaching grammar minimally. Classes use music, posters, and role-playing games to create an immersive environment where students can learn a foreign language as if they were children.
