Direct Method
Direct Method
This method has the instructional goals of learning a foreign language that is intended to communicate.
Since the grammar translation method is not very effective in preparing students for mengguanakan
language learned (the target lanugage) communicatively, the Direct Method became very popular. Direct
Method has one basic rule that is not the permissibility of types of translation. Origin said the Direct
Method of teaching languages in fact as if by using this method submitted directly (direct) with a visual
aid in the absence of the use of native language (native language) students.
Teachers who want their students to use the Direct Method of learning how to communicate with
mengguanakan learned language (target language). In order expectation is realized, students learn to
think mengguankan emotion language learned (the target language) with not being allowed acyl
language (native language) emerged during the lesson.
Although the role of the teacher in this method is the 'director' class, students more active role than the
tranlation Grammar Method. Teachers and students are more like partners in preose learning / teaching.
Teachers who use this method to force students to understand the meaning of the target language
(target language) directly. To do so, when the teacher introduces a target language word or phrase, the
teacher demonstrates the meaning through the use of realia, gamba, or pantomime; teachers should not
be interpreted as a langusung to the original language (native language) students.
Interaction between teachers and students walking from two directions, either from the teacher to the
student or from student to teacher, but most of the interaction goes from teacher to student. Interaction
between students is also a lot going on in this method.
Formal evaluation is not so much found in this method, but at the Direct Method, students are asked to
use the target language is not to explain their knowledge of the target language. Students are required
to use the language targets either orally or in writing. For example, in the evaluation of this method,
students may be interviewed in person by a teacher or may be asked to write a paragraph directly about
something they have learned.
