What types of teaching styles used in the direct method.
Teaching styles used in the direct method approach are: 1.Showing or using multiple examples of a word or concept: There should be an overkill of props, images, or gestures used to make sure the point comes across for a student. The overuse is needed to ensure comprehension since there is no translation being used at all. 2.Listening and repetition: Not only do the students need to see something to create an association, but they also need to hear something. They need to hear how the language is used, how it is pronounced, and how to incorporate it into their oral communication. 3.Speaking: the students need to be able to practice the concepts of words they are learning. 4.Make sure to have a non-threatening environment: It is vital to create a safe space for the students to attempt to communicate using their newly acquired language. The students should receive rewards and praise when they effectively speak and gentle correction and repetition when needed due to errors.
What is Direct method.
Around 1875, a French teacher François Gouin traveled to Hamburg, Germany, to experience the experience of learning a foreign language according to the method he used to teach his students. The Direct Method is a method “in which a new word or expression is connected in the pupil’s mind directly with what it stands for and not through the medium of vernacular.” According to Webster’s New International Dictionary, “Direct Method is a method of teaching a foreign language, especially a modern language through conversation, discussion and reading in the language itself without use of the pupil’s language, without translation and without the study of formal grammar. The words are first taught by pointing to object or picture or by performing action.”
