The Direct Method of teaching, which is sometimes called the
natural method, is the method that associated with Francois Gouin and Charles Berlitz. Wikipedia wrote that it was established in Germany and France around 1900.[1] The meaning of the name "Direct Method" comes from the fact that the action like demonstration and visual aids are needed to convey the meaning directly into the target language What are the principles of Direct Method? 1. Classroom instructions are conducted exclusively in the target language. It means that language learners learn the target language in the classroom most of the time. 2. Oral communication skills are built up in a carefully graded progression organized around question-and-answer exchanges between teachers and students in small, intensive classes 3. New teaching points are introduced orally, not written. WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF DIRECT METHOD?
Teacher uses method in their teaching learning
activities, in order to implement the plans of learning and reach reach the goal optimally. Every methods has its goals, included the Direct Method. The intention of the teachers who use the Direct Method is to make their students learn how to communicate by using the target language. In order for the hope that possible, students will learn to think target language and the teacher avoids native language emerged during the teaching learning activities. What is the teacher-student role in the Direct Method
Although the role of teachers in this method is the ‘director’ class,
students are more active role when compared to the Grammar- translation method. Teachers and students are more like partners in purpose learning / teaching. Interaction between teachers and students walking from two directions, either from teacher to student or from students to teachers, but most interactions went from teacher to student. Interaction among students is also a lot happening in this method. How is Direct Method application and example? a. Question-and-Answer Exercise: The teacher asks questions and the students answer. This activity happens only in target language. Students ask questions and answer in full sentences. Students can also try to ask the questions for the purpose to make they practice new word and grammatical structure. b. Reading Aloud: Students take turns reading. At the end of each student’s turn the teacher uses gestures, pictures, examples, or role play to help the students understand the meaning. C. Conversation practice: the teacher gives some questions and the student should be able to answer the question correctly by using target language. THANK YOU Sempit Euy GAN
