Presentation on direct method
- 2. The directmethod of teaching was developed as a reaction to the Grammar-Translation method. The language teaching expert F. Gouin and other reformers tried to create a method based on the insights drawn from the observation of child language learning . Direct Method was developed by Maximilian Berlitz towards the end of the 19th century in Europe, for economic development, the communication among nations became more frequent. Use the natural way to communicate, like a baby learning its mother tongue.
- 3. The directmethod aims to provide language learners with a practically useful knowledge of language . Knowing a language is being able to speak it. The Berlitz Method The Natural Method The Anti- Gramma tical Method The Reform Method
- 4. Classroom instructionwas conducted in the target language. There was an inductive approach to grammar. Only everyday vocabulary was taught Concrete vocabulary was taught through pictures and objects, while abstract was taught by association of ideas. The learner was actively involved in using the language in realistic everyday situations. New teaching points were taught through practice.
- 5. Students wereencouraged to think in the target language. Speaking was taught first before reading or writing. Grammar was taught inductively. The syllabus was based on situations or topics. Classroom activities was carried out only in the target language. Emphasis is put on correct pronunciation and grammar. Both speech and listening comprehension were taught. Not memorization but production.
- 6. The teacher andthe students are more like partners in the teaching/learning process. The students’ role in direct method is the active learner. The students are also the observer and practitioner.

- 9. Learners have anactive role. The learning is contextualized. It follows the natural order in which a child learns L1 that is listening ,speaking ,reading and writing. It lays great emphasis on speaking, the most important skill for many learners. It avoids the unnatural block of translation in the communication process.
- 10. Learner learns thelanguage , not about the language. Lively classroom procedures motivate the learner. The teaching of vocabulary through realia brings authenticity into the classroom . The emphasis on speech make it attractive for those who need real communication in l2.
- 11. Learning l2is not like learning l1. the child learning l1 has no previous language learning experience , but the learner learning l2 does. There is little systematic structural practice. Learners run the risk of inducing incorrect rules. The method can be effectively used only by teachers who are native speakers. The learner is confronted with unstructured situations too soon. A great deal of teacher-energy is required.
- 12. L2 shouldbe learn in way in which l1 was acquired by total immersion technique. It rejects use of printed word- but this objection is illogical since l2 learner has already mastered his reading skills. Later disciples of direct method it to extremes and refused to speak single word of English in lessons. Also Direct Methodists failed to grade and structure their materials adequately – no selection, grading or controlled presentation of vocabulary and structures.
- 13. Direct method isvery effective to use the English language by the teacher to implement in their class. The students can understand easily if the teacher uses direct method because this method enhances the communication skills of the students. Focuses on the listening skills of the learners. Good for the class of small size.
