SERIES METHOD AND DIRECT METHOD

2. The Direct Method of language
teaching is also called:
The Reform
Method
The Natural
Method
The Anti-
Grammatical
Method
The Berlitz
Method

3. The Direct Method was developed by
Maximilian Berlitz as a reaction to the
Grammar Translation Method.
It sought to immerse the learner in
the same way as when the first
language is learnt.

5. - No translation is allowed
- No use of the L1

6. Meaning should be connected
directly with the second language
through demonstration and visual aids.

7. This method argues that a foreign
language can be taught without
translation, unlike the argument of the
Grammar-Translation Method.

8. Rather than translating the teaching
material, the teacher is expected to
directly use the target language in
class because a language can best
be taught by using it actively in the
classroom.

10. 1. The only available languaje is the
target language.
NEVER TRANSLATE: DEMONSTRATE

11. 2. Grammar is taught inductively. There
may never be an explicit grammar rule
given.
DO NOT GIVE RULES:
MAKE THEM FIGURE OUT
THE RULE.

12. 3. Speaking is taught first before reading
and writing.
Students should speak at least 80% of
the time during the lesson.

13. 4. The learner is actively involved in using
the languaje in realistic everyday
situations.
Students are intruduced to the ways of
life of L2 .

14. 5. Students are encouraged to think in the
target languaje.
NOTE: The teacher and learners are partners in
the classroom.
Teacher / learner interaction
Learner /learner interaction

16. Students take turns reading sections
of a passage, a play or a dialogue
out loud.

22.  Is a strategy that weaves culture into
languaje production and presents
cultural practices in the target
languaje.
 The language is expression.

23.  Originated by Francois Gouin
 Is a sequence of six to eight phrases
describing a predictable process, such
as preparing a target culture dish,
making a purchase, or going through
customs.

24.  Moves students from receptive to
productive language.
 May cover a range of contexts
including a cultural practice,
appropiate behavior in a particular
situation or classroom process.
 Role of the teacher: offer students
series of connected sentences.

25.  Choose a function or context
 Select expressions
 Order logically
 Associate actions with each
statement
 Illustrate with visuals

26.  No more than 6-8 sentences
 Leghth of 7-8 sillables
 Verbs that can be acted out
 Vocabulary easy visualized
 Logical sequence
 Same person and tense in all
sentences
 *the vocabulary is complex but easy
to understand and remember.

27.  Teacher presents orally using words,
pantomime and props
 Teacher repets orally, class joins in with
pantomime but now words
 Class pantomimes series as teacher
repeats orally without actions
 Class imitates series orally and with
actions

28.  NO TRANSLATION
 NO GRAMMAR
 NO GRAMMAR EXPLANATIONS
