William Butler Yeats was an Irish poet born in 1865 in Dublin. He spent much of his childhood in County Sligo where his parents were from.

He was heavily influenced by Irish mythology and folklore as well as Irish revolutionary Maud Gonne, whom he met in 1889.

Direct method by m.hasnnain
The Direct Method is an approach to teaching foreign languages that uses the target language exclusively and avoids translation or explaining grammar rules. It was developed in the 1860s based on observations of how children acquire their first language. Key principles include using real-world examples and demonstrations rather than explanations, emphasizing oral skills and questions/answers, and avoiding grammar explanations. Techniques include reading aloud, conversations, dictation, and map tasks. While it aims to mimic natural language acquisition, critics argue it is difficult to implement fully and may not be suitable for large classes.
Alm final
The Audio Lingual Method (ALM) is a language teaching method introduced in the US in the 1940s that focuses on speaking and listening skills. It emphasizes imitation, memorization of dialogues, and uses of drills. While ALM improved speaking abilities, it was criticized for ignoring reading and writing skills. The method also lost popularity in the 1950s when linguist Noam Chomsky questioned its theoretical foundations. ALM is still used in some contexts in Pakistan to help students memorize lessons and improve English speaking, though it has disadvantages if used as the sole method of instruction.

It originated as a way to teach Latin and Greek and focuses on translating whole texts word-for-word, memorizing extensive vocabulary lists and complex grammatical rules. It remained popular for teaching classical languages and was later used to help students read foreign literature. While translation allows explaining meanings between languages and familiarizing students with both, the method is criticized for neglecting spoken communication skills and not allowing for exact translation between all languages.
