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. 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.
The direct method of
teaching languages aims to build a direct way into the world of the target
language making a relation between experience and language, word and idea,
thought and expression rule and performance.
This method intends for
students to learn how to communicate in the target language
This method is based on
the assumption that the learner should experience the new language in the same
way as he/she experienced his/her mother tongue without considering the
existence of his/her mother tongue.
My friends and I recorded a video about the direct method, you can watch it here ;
