CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Teachers who use the Direct Method believe students need to associate meaning and the target language directly.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Direct Method expects language learners will learn the target language in a direct way, which means the lessons will be conducted without having to use to the leaner’s native language. Advocates of this method believe that it should be taught in a way that there is no second language interference with the L2.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The direct method in teaching a language is directly establishing an immediate and audiovisual association between experience and expression, words and phrases, idioms and meanings, rules and performances through the teachers’ body and mental skills, without any help of the learners’ mother tongue.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
