Suggestion teaching method was put forward by psychotherapist George Lozano in the 1960s, which provides a new idea for the development of English reading teaching. Suggestive media points out that people are suggestive and positive suggestions can put people's bodies in a relaxed state and minds in an active state. This good physical and mental state can enable learners to give full play to their potential and improve the efficiency of foreign language learning. This paper studies the application of Suggestopedia in English teaching. Suggestopedia puts forward eight suggested strategies, such as a relaxed and intuitive environment, positive unconscious cues, double communication and other strategies. It found that there are some problems with the suggested teaching method. The suggested teaching method has high requirements for conditions and pays too much attention to form. The education administrators should pay attention to teaching reform, and improve their own quality and other methods.
