The document describes the direct method of language teaching, which involves communicating directly in the target language without translation. The goals of teachers using this method are to teach students to communicate and think in the target language while drilling pronunciation. Teachers demonstrate new vocabulary to students, who then practice it, with an emphasis on vocabulary, practice, and pronunciation. Teaching techniques include reading aloud, question and answer exercises, self-correction, conversation practice, fill-in-the-blank exercises, dictation, map drawing, and paragraph writing.
