Peripheral learning is one of the principles mentioned in Suggestopedia ... so you can take a look at this:
http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=4460
Vocabulary is emphasised and grammar is dealt with explicitly. The SS� conscious attention is focused, not on the language forms, but on using the language. Speaking communicatively is emphasised - the SS read the target language and write (e.g. imaginative compositions). In line with that, i suggest you take a look at this: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=197508#thetop
The technique of �visualisation� is meant to relax the SS and activate their creativity. What i did was play a piece of music (e.g. the theme tune taken from Le Fabuleux Destin d�Am�lie Poulain i.e. The Fabulous Destiny of Am�lie Poulain) and ask the SS to close their eyes and to imagine a scene to go along with the music. Then we created a story. We read the story WITH the music in the background, following the build up in the music while reading. I also used Vivaldi�s Four Seasons when the SS wrote about spring and winter. They, again, read with the music in the background. The SS were encouraged to read expressively.
EDIT: (Sep 16 2009) A Rom. Fr. Ks (i have it on a video now)
One of the techniques mentioned is READING PARTS OF A DIALOGUE IN A DIFFERENT MANNER, so here�s an activity taken from Fun Class Activities 1 by P.Watcyn-Jones, Longman: Booking a room at a hotel
A: Good afternoon. Can I help you?
B: I�d like a room, please.
A: A single room?
B: Yes, just for tonight. With a bath.
A: A single room with bath ... just a minute, please. (slight pause) I�m sorry, we�ve only got double rooms left for tonight.
B: Are you sure?
A: Yes, quite sure. This is a very busy time for us.
B: How much is a double room?
A: $90, including breakfast.
B: No, that�s too much.
A: I�m sorry, but that�s all we�ve got.
B: Ah well, i suppose I�ll have to try somewhere else. Goodbye.
A: Goodbye.
The SS draw the following slips and read the dialogue in the manner described:
you are angry and in a bad mood;
you are feeling romantic and flirtatious;
you are very shy and find it hard to look at people in the face when you speak to them;
you are slightly deaf and tend to speak too loudly;
you are very nervous and your voice is shaking;
you are dying to go to the toilet;
you are very upset and feel tearful because you�ve just been to the dentist;
you are very friendly and cheerful and smile a lot;
you are having problems speaking because you�ve just been to the dentist;
you are a �foreigner� and are not very good at English;
you are very tired and can hardly keep awake;
you are a bit short-sighted and like to get really close to people when you talk to them;
you have a slight stutter, esp. when you try to say words that start with �s� or �p�;
you have a problem with your right eye and keep �winking� all the time;
you are an opera singer and tend to �sing� your words;
you have a terrible cold and keep sneezing and having to blow your nose.
The SS spectators have to guess in the end what was written on the slips, i.e. the manner in which the �actors� were supposed to act/read the dialogue.
