<![CDATA[This study examines the effect of the Suggestopedia method on fifth-grade students’ vocabulary comprehension. The research was motivated by students’ limited vocabulary mastery, low engagement, and the predominance of conventional teaching methods that emphasize memorization rather than contextual use. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed. The participants consisted of 58 fifth-grade students divided into an experimental group and a control group, each comprising 29 students. The experimental group was taught using the Suggestopedia method, while the control group received conventional instruction. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests measuring five aspects of vocabulary comprehension: word recognition, contextual meaning, synonyms and antonyms, word form and usage, and spelling. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and an independent samples t-test. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group (Sig. = 0.014 < 0.05). These results indicate that the Suggestopedia method has a significant positive effect on students’ vocabulary comprehension and can be considered an effective alternative for vocabulary instruction in elementary EFL classrooms. ]]>
