DIRECT METHOD

This method is focus on learning the language spontaneously. Here there isn´t transalition between first and the second language.

One of the most important adventages would be:

Paying attention to speaking , interaction between teacher and students.

Activity: listening and reading activity

10 minutes

• the teacher reads a passage aloud three times, the students have to listen it carefully and also they have to take out a shit  of paper.
• the first time the students only listen.
• The second time the passage is read  phrase by phrase and the students just write down what they have heard.
• the third time the teacher  reads the passage normal and the students check their works.

For example: 

Dog Tired 

 

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.

The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.

Curious I pinned a note to his collar, 'I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'

The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar, 'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 and he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'
