DIRECT METHOD

DIRECT METHOD

Direct method is the technique of teaching English which no translation is allowed.
The teacher and students have to communicate in the target language, not their native language.
The native language should not be used in the classroom.
The students are more active than the teacher. They should learn to think by themselves. Students should learn to think in the target language as soon as possible. But, the teacher is still directing the class activities.
The teacher and students are like partner in the learning process. The teacher should demonstrate not explain or translate. Students have to master the vocabularies of the target language.
