The direct method by beny i.n. nadeak, s.pdBeny Nadeak
The Direct Method
The Direct Method has one very basic rule: No translation is allowed. In fact, the Direct Method receives its name from the fact that meaning is to be conveyed directly in the target language through the use of demonstration and visual aids, with no resource to the students’ native language (Diller 1978).
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. What is TPR?
Total Physical Response is a method developed by James Asher in the 1960s. It was created with
the goal of helping students learn a second language. TPR helps students learn by associating
a physical action with new vocabulary.
Some benefits of TPR:
● It helps students remember new phrases or words
● It can be used in both large and small classes
● It doesn’t require much preparation (bye bye worksheets!)
● It gets students excited about learning and involved in the lesson
● It is effective for all age groups and abilities
4. Theory of language
- TPR classroom drill seem to be built
on assumptions that owe much to
structure or grammar-based views
of language.
- Language is composed by
abstractions and non-abstractions.
Cognitive model Lexical model
5. Theory of language
- Abstractions should be delayed when students have
internalized a detailed cognitive map of the target
language.
- Non-abstractions are represented by concrete nouns and
imperative verbs.
6. - Once that students have internalized the code, abstractions
can be introduced and explained in the target language.
(Language can be internalized as wholes or chunks)
Theory of language
7. Theory of learning
-It is seen as a behavioral view, based on the stimulus-response and
reinforcement model
There are three influential learning hypothesis:
It exists a specific innate bio-program for language learning
Brain lateralization defines different learning functions in the left- and right- brain hemispheres
The lower the stress, the greater the learning
8. Theory of learning
“The natural method”
First and second language are seen to be learned as parallel process. They should
reflect the naturalistic processes of first language learning, and this should be
done by first internalize a cognitive map of the target language through listening
exercises.
9. Theory of learning
There are studies that demonstrate that the brain is divided into hemispheres
according to function, with language activities centralized in the right
hemispheres. And when the right one has taken place in the process of learning,
the left will be triggered to produce language and to initiate another.
12. The Syllabus
● Use of a sentence-based syllabus.
● Grammar and lexical criteria primary in selecting teaching.
● Grammatical features and vocabulary items are selected
according to the situations in which they can be used in the
classroom.
● If is not learn rapidly then they are not ready for the item.
● Movements are a powerful mediator for understanding.
13. Types of learning and teaching
activities
● Imperative drills.
● Role plays and slide presentations.
● Reading and writing activities.
14. Learner Roles
● It is a listener and performer.
● They have influence over the content
● Expected to recognize and respond to novel
combinations of previously taught and to
produce by their own
16. The Role of Instructional Materials
● For beginners may not be required the use of materials, the
teacher’s voice, actions and gestures are the basis.
● Later teacher may use common classroom objects such as
books, pens, furniture, etc.
● It can be include pictures, slides, word charts.
18. Nature of the TPR
procedure
TPR procedure is totally based
in kinesthetic activities, this is
why, usually, TPR is more
suited to children and people
with a strong kinesthetic
preferences, Also; it is a good
method to grab Special
Students´attention; as ADHD Dx
students
REVIEW, NEW COMMANDS, ROLE
REVERSAL READING & WRITING.
STUDENTS BECOME ACTORS.
VERBAL RESPONSE IS NOT
NECESSARY.
TPR FOCUSES ON THE MEANING
& COMPREHENSION
THE MOST COMMON
TECHNIQUES ARE:
20. AS EVERYTHING SEEN IN TPR
HAS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A
PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES,
FLASHCARDS ARE A GOOD
MATERIAL TO USE.
21. ● THE TEACHER GIVES A SUMMARY
OF THE LAST LESSON.
● TEACHER REPEATS THE
VOCABULARY LEARNED THE
PREVIOUS SESSION.
R E V I E W
Testing the sutdents asking to do
some commands is a good way of
reviewing the learned vocabulary,
and assesing the student´s
comprehension.
22. ASKING NEW COMMANDS.THE TEACHER GIVES THE STUDENTS
NEW COMMANDS, BUGT WHAT IS A
COMMAND?
------ A REQUEST, USUALLY USING THE
IMPERATIVE FORM. (LIKE THE
PICTURE)
REPEAT THE COMMANDS ENOUGH TO
FULLY UNDERSTANDS THEM.
VARY THE SEQUENCE AND ORDER OF THE GIVEN COMMANDS, LIKE CHANGING
THE LYRICS OF A SONG ONCE IN AWHILE.
23. ROLE REVERSAL
THE STUDENTS USE THE IMPERATIVE
TO EXPRESS COMMANDS AND SHOW
COMPREHENSION OF LANGUAGE
THIS TECHNIQUE IMPROVES THE ORAL
PRODUCTION.
USING THE WRITTEN
LANGUAGE
THE LEARNERS READ & WRITE IN THE TARGET
LANGUAGE, -- COULD BE DONE WHEN READING THE
LYRICS OF A SONG, AND SIMUSTANEOUSLY DOING
THE REQUESTED COMMANDS.
26. THE RECOMMENDED TPR ACTIVITY:
This is perfect for classes that love to compete.
Group your students into four or five groups
and send them on the scavenger hunt of their
lives! Or at least of their day. Instead of giving
your student’s paper clues, give them verbally.
Whichever team completes the activity first
wins for that round.
For example, after teaching action verbs, you
can ask your students to “go to the back of the
class”, “run to the front of the class”, “find
something yellow”, or “jump in place”. Be sure
to keep track of each teams points, and award
the winner with bragging rights (or candy).T
This activity is great for getting everyone
practicing total physical response, as teams
cannot earn points unless all members are
participating.
We hope this list of fun activities gets you and
your class moving. total physical response is a
great language tool for any age or level and can
help your students more quickly remember
vocabulary and phrases.

27. ADVANTAGES OF TPR
A. It is fun to both: Students &
Teachers; adults &
children.
B. It is a good way to learn
new vocabulary.
C. There´s a lot of material
and activities already
planned. So it doesn´t
require a lot of preparation
beforehand.
A. It´s best to beginners, but it is
not very effective to more
advanced students.
B. Shyness can be a barrier to
the leaner´s performance and
partificipation.
C. It is limited since not
everything can be teached
usign this method.
