Hi. Everyone. I am a student of Science of Language Education Study Program who is curious on hypnoteaching in ELT. I get some problem on finding the references from reputable international Journals. So, I need some help on explaining about the hypnoteaching and finding the refernces. Thank you very much for your help.
Closely related to suggestopedia/suggestopaedia, for which you may find more references. See also Georgi Lazanov.
Dear Nova Adi Kurniawan ,
Hypnoteaching in English Language Teaching (ELT) is an approach that incorporates principles of hypnosis to enhance students' learning experiences. It is based on the idea that a relaxed and focused mind is more receptive to acquiring new knowledge, including language skills.
This method involves creating a stress-free learning environment, using storytelling, visualization, rhythmic speech, and suggestive language to engage students deeply. Teachers using hypnoteaching often apply techniques such as guided imagery, soft background music, and repetition to improve concentration and memory retention.
In ELT, hypnoteaching can help reduce language anxiety, boost confidence, and improve pronunciation and fluency. By fostering a state of deep focus and relaxation, students may find it easier to absorb vocabulary, grammar structures, and speaking patterns naturally.
Although not widely used in mainstream education, some educators explore hypnoteaching as a complementary strategy to make language learning more engaging and effective.
Best,
Zylfije Tahiri
