CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -1 The Direct Method has one very basic rule: No translation is allowed. 2 Direct Method (Berlitz method) receives its name from the fact that meaning is to be connected directly with the target language, without going through the process of translating into the students’ native language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Its main principles are: learners should be taught in the target language; no translation should be allowed; grammar should be taught inductively; oral and listening skills are the main focus of instruction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, we conclude that the technique of using the student’s native language is not followed in the direct method. The direct method of teaching English rejects the student’s native language/mother tongue and emphasizes learning the target language directly without translating it into the mother tongue.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, it is concluded that the Direct method considers visual appeal over aural – oral is not related to the Direct Method of teaching English.

Detailed explanation-5: -The direct method is also known as the natural method. It was developed as a reaction to the grammar-translation method and is designed to take the learner into the domain of the target language in the most natural manner. The main objective is to impart a perfect command of a foreign language.
