Abstract- Suggestopedia is a teaching method which helps to motivate students in order to learn English as a foreign language. In this method, the language is treated as a language, not as a subject. Students learn English quickly and effortlessly through this method compare to another traditional teaching method. The use of the Suggestopedia method would be beneficial so that students participate in class and build their own knowledge based on their previous experiences. To achieve the objectives of English teaching, the teacher must adopt an adequate method. Suggestopedia is one of the most useful teaching methods introduced by Dr. Georgi Lozanov. The purpose of this seminar is to explain the Suggestopedia method for the benefit of the students’ motivation and their development of language skills easily by making a comfortable classroom environment.
