1. THE DIRECT METHOD

2. In practice it stood for the foloowing principles and procedures: Classroom instruction is conducted exclusively in the target language. Only everyday vocabulary and sentences are taught. Oral communication skill are built up in a carefully graded progression organized around question and answer exchanges between teacchers ans students in small, intensive classes. Grammar is taught iaductively . New teaching points are introduced orally.

3. Concrete vocabulary is taught through demonstration, objects and picture; abstract vocabulary is taught by association of ideas. Both speech and listening comprehension are taught. Correct pronouncation and grammar are emphasized.

4. The foregoing principles are seen in the following guidelines for teaching oral language: Never translate:demonstration Never explain:act Never make a speech :ask question Never imitate mistakes:correct Never speak with single words:use sentences Never speak too much:make students speak much

5. Never jump aroud:follow your plan Never go too fast:keep the pace of the student Never speak too slowly:speak normally Never speak quickly:speak naturally Never speak slowly:speak natually Never be impatient :take it easy

6. Characteristcs of the approach are the following: Language teaching begins with the spoken language. Material is taught orally before it is represented in written form. The target language is the language of the classsroom . New language points are introduced and practiced situationally .

7. Vocabulary selection procedures are followed to ensure that an essential general service vocabulary is covered. Items of grammar are graded following the principle that the simple forms should be taught before complex (inductive method) Reading and writing are introduced once a sufficient lexical and grammatical basis is established.
