Enhancing Vocabulary through the Suggestopedia Method

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to look into how Suggestopedia can help students improve their listening skills in English. The study design for this investigation was quasi-experimental. The selected groups were subjected to pretests and post-tests. The study's population consisted of 268 senior secondary school pupils in level two (SS II) from the 2024-2025 academic session. The study was limited to two schools due to time constraints and the nature of the research. Participants were divided into experimental and control groups. The purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample of 80 pupils from the two schools. The acquired data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). An independent t-test was employed to compare the differences between the groups. The study’s findings demonstrated that using the suggestopedia method increased student’s English-language listening skills. The results showed that pupils taught using the suggestopedia method outperformed those taught using conventional methods. As a result, it is proposed that language pedagogy be introduced into the curriculum of teacher training institutions and universities so that student-teachers can benefit from the most recent approaches to teaching the English language.
