The goal of Suggestopedia is to accelerate the process of language learning. The relationship between the teacher and the students in suggestopedic instruction is like parents and children. The teaching- learning process is "learner-centered". Lozanov (1978) states that there are four main stages of the activities in suggestopedia method. They are presentation, concert session (active and passive), elaboration, and practice. In the presentation stage, the students are helped to get positive mind that learning is easy and fun.
