The purpose of this research is to investigate the attitudes of Yemeni EFL students at Thamar University towards Desuggestopedia method. To achieve this objective, a quantitative approach was employed, given its suitability for the study's nature. In this research, the population consisted of all the fourth level students enrolled in the Department of English at the Faculty of Education, Thamar University. Due to the small number of the fourth level students, the researcher considered it best to take all of them as a sample. The data were collected, using a questionnaire comprised of 14 items. The questionnaire was divided into two main sections: the first section, consisting of eight items, explored students’ attitudes towards Desuggestopedia techniques related to classroom set-up and activities, while the second section, comprising six items, examined students’ attitudes towards the affective aspects of Desuggestopedia techniques. The collected data were analyzed statistically by using frequencies, means, and percentages. The statistically analyzed data revealed that Yemeni EFL learners generally hold positive attitudes towards Desuggestopedia as a teaching method, highlighting its potential effectiveness in enhancing the learning experience.
