Georgi Lozanov (born
July 22,
1926,
Sofia,
Bulgaria) is a
Bulgarian educator and
psychologist who developed
suggestopedia, a learning/teaching theory based on his early-1960s study of suggestion which is called as "suggestology". His suggestopedia theory and practice were examined by UNESCO in the late 1970s and proved to be effective. (UNESCO
report and
recommendation)
Lozanov's theory and practice triggered an accelerated learning movement in the West, where various techniques not originally included in the Lozanov's theory were introduced. Such techniques included elements such as breathing, visualization and biofeedback.
