Bio:

Lonny hated school with a passion… and went into education with a vengeance. Originally Canadian, Lonny runs exuberant language and teacher training seminars worldwide where he develops techniques to speed up learning by communicating directly with the unconscious mind. He has been at the core of Suggestopedia since 1978 and has written EFL curricula for audiences in America, Europe, the Middle East and China and worked there. Lonny’s ambition is to help create a new culture of communication where people inspire and nurture each other, thereby enabling humanity to transcend existing norms and lead more fulfilling lives.

Session Synopsis:

Teaching Languages like an Undercover Spy

Spies are invisible. That’s why they’re effective. They remain unseen. And this is how language coaches should operate: Fixing problems but leaving no trace of our passage. Leaving learners with the feeling that “We did it all ourselves!”

Drawing on Suggestopedia, this session will provide coaches with mantles of invisibility.

There will be two main take-aways: A subversive technique for correcting mistakes and
a way of inducing telepathic intuition. For this to work, the coach must become a
colourless, odourless catalyst. This fun experience, with lots of physical movement, will
show you how to “vanish” and get out of the way of the breakthroughs you have
catapulted into motion. We will look at how to set the stage for unexpected things to
just bubble up to the surface.
