The direct method was an answer to the dissatisfication with the
older Grammar Translation Method, which teaches students grammar and
vocabulary through direct translations and thus focuses on the written
language.
There was an attempt to set up conditions that imitate mother tongue acquisition, which is why the beginnings of these attempts were called the natural method. At the turn of the 18th and19th centuries, Sauveur and Franke proposed that language teaching should be undertaken within the target language system, which was the first stimulus for the rise of direct method.
The direct method of teaching not limited to but often used in teaching foreign language, the method refrains from using the learners’ native language and uses only the target language.
Characteristic features of direct method: teaching concepts and vocabulary through pantomiming, teaching grammar, centrality of spoken language, focus on question-answer pattern.
It should be noted that an integral aspect of direct method is varying the setting of teaching; try different scenarios using the same element.
