Abstract	A study evaluated the comparative training effectiveness of three language instruction methods: (1) suggestopedia, (2) the standard methodology used at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, a functional skill-building approach, and (3) a flexible-scheduling version of the standard methodology, with pacing based on group readiness. The subjects were junior enlisted Army and Navy personnel in a Russian basic course. Results indicate that the suggestopedia approach neither accelerated learning nor resulted in more positive overall attitudes in students when compared with either the standard or flexibly scheduled groups. However, the flexible-scheduling method did save one week's instructional time. (Author/MSE)
