Music and the Presentation of Material
Lynn Dhority · 2020
One of Georgi Lozanov’s most original contributions is the role he assigns to music in the “concert presentations” of new material. Music is one of the most potent carriers of suggestion operating in our culture. Nearly everyone in this age of radios, stereos, tape recorders, compact discs, etc. reaches frequently for music to accompany moments of his/her day. The Acquisition through Creative Teaching Approach text contains the basic vocabulary content of the course, but it is not presented or utilized conventionally, but rather, it is introduced in a special manner. The Acquisition through Creative Teaching Approach accomplishes this objective. The material to be learned is offered in a high-input, multi-sensorial and global presentation rather than in more traditional linear, logical dosages. The first, more formal, “presentation” of text material, comes during the global prelude to the “concert session.”.
