4. Direct method The direct method aims to provide language learners with practical use of language. Knowing a language means being able to speak it. The Berlitz Method The Natural Method The Anti-Grammatical MEthod The Reform Method

5. History The direct method was developed as a reaction to the Grammar-Translation method. Language teaching expert F. Gouin and other reformers created a method based on observations of child language learning. Maximilian Berlitz developed the Direct Method in the late 19th century in Europe to enhance communication among nations. The method emphasizes using language naturally, like how a baby learns its mother tongue.

6. Principles of Direct Method Classroom instruction is conducted in the target language. Grammar is taught inductively. Only everyday vocabulary is taught. Concrete vocabulary is taught using real objects, while abstract vocabulary is introduced through pictures and associations. Learners actively use the language in realistic everyday situations. New teaching points are introduced through practice. Students take an active role as both observers and practitioners.

7. Role of the Students The teacher and the students are more like partners in the teaching/learning process. The students' role in the direct method is the active learner. The students are also the observer and practitioner.

8. Role of the Teachers The teacher acts as a demonstrator, never translating but using real objects, pictures, and actions to explain meanings. The teacher directs class activities, ensuring student participation. The focus is on teacher-student interaction rather than student-student interaction.

9. Students were encouraged 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 were 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.

10. ADVANTAGES OF DIRECT METHOD Learners have an active role. Learning is contextualized. It follows the natural order of L1 acquisition: listening → speaking → reading → writing. Emphasizes speaking as an essential skill. Avoids the unnatural blocking of the communication process by translation.

12. DISADVANTAGES OF DIRECT METHOD Learning L2 is 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.

13. Learner learns the language, 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 makes it attractive for those who need real communication in L2.

14. CONCLUSIONS The direct method is effective for teachers to use English in the classroom. Students understand better as this method enhances communication skills. Focuses on listening skills. Suitable for small-sized classes
