The Direct Method was created in the 19th century as an alternative to the Grammar-Translation Method. It seeks to immerse students in the target language in the same way they learned their first language. Only the target language is used, with no translation allowed. Grammar is taught inductively through demonstration and visual aids. Speaking is taught before reading and writing, using realistic everyday situations. Strategies include reading aloud, question-and-answer exercises, self-correction, conversation practice, fill-in-the-blank exercises, and dictation. The teacher's role is as a demonstrator, facilitator, partner, and monitor, while students are active learners, observers, and practitioners.
