3. Goals of GTM
• develop students’ reading ability to a level
where they can read literature in the target
language
• develop students’ general mental discipline
6. Characteristic features of the
direct method are:
• teaching concepts and vocabulary through
pantomiming, real-life objects and other
visual materials
• teaching grammar by using
an inductive approach (i.e. having learners
find out rules through the presentation of
adequate linguistic forms in the target
language)
• centrality of spoken language (including a
native-like pronunciation)
• focus on question-answer patterns
