CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -S.O.S. (Structural-oral-situational ) Method: It is based on the principles that language is primarily speech and therefore all structures and vocabulary must be practiced orally before moving on to reading and writing.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Direct Method is based on the direct involvement of the student when speaking, and listening to, the foreign language in common everyday situations. Consequently, there is lots of oral interaction, spontaneous use of the language, no translation, and little if any analysis of grammar rules and syntax.

Detailed explanation-3: -The direct method of teaching, which is sometimes called the natural method, and is often (but not exclusively) used in teaching foreign languages, refrains from using the learners’ native language and uses only the target language.
