DO THE ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF SUGGESTOPEDIA AND THE SILENT METHOD HAVE APPLICATION FOR INTRODUCING INTERACTIVE APPROACHES TO SECOND LANGUAGE TEACHING IN RESISTANT EFL CONTEXTS?

Abstract

This paper will compare and contrast the approaches to second language teaching represented by the methods of Suggestopedia and the Silent Method (TSM) respectively. The paper will then discuss whether these methods have application for introducing interactive approaches to second language teaching in 'resistant' EFL contexts.
