  4. I. Introduction A. An approach in which there is respect for students' feelings B. We need to "desuggest" the limitations of our capacity

  5. I. Introduction C. There are two planes in communications 1. The conscious plan: the linguistic message is encoded through the attention of the learners on the language 2. The subconscious plane: The factors which influence the linguistic message (the tension of leaning) is relieved through music, which suggests that learning is easy and pleasant.
