Implementing Suggestopedia to Address Second Language Learning Challenges Among Trauma Afflicted Adult ESL Learners
This research explores the implementation of the Post-Suggestopedic Method in addressing language learning challenges among young adult learners who have experienced trauma. The study investigates how this innovative educational approach, which builds upon the principles of suggestopedia by incorporating contemporary psychological insights and pedagogical techniques, can effectively support and enhance the second language (L2) acquisition process for this specific learner demographic. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, the research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Post-Suggestopedic Method in creating a supportive learning environment that not only facilitates language learning but also addresses the unique needs of trauma-affected individuals, thereby contributing to the field of language education and trauma recovery.
