Study Notes

Grammar-Translation Method

Focuses on reading literature, accurately translating texts, and improving native language skills through grammatical knowledge.
Teacher plays an authoritative role, presenting grammar rules, explaining vocabulary, and assigning translation exercises.
Students are passive learners memorizing rules and completing translation tasks.
Emphasizes structured translation and grammar rules; teacher-centered with limited student interaction.
Emphasizes reading and writing over speaking and listening.
Native language plays a central role through translation exercises.
Evaluation involves written tests and translation tasks.
Errors are corrected immediately focusing on accuracy.

Direct Method

Aims to teach students to think and communicate directly in the target language through oral skills and immersion.
Teacher acts as a facilitator, guiding direct interactions in the target language.
Students actively engage in conversations without relying on their native language.
Focus on immersion; grammar is taught inductively through practical exercises.
Interaction is dynamic and interactive, encouraging peer engagement.
Emphasizes speaking and listening, prioritizing them over reading and writing.
Native language is not used; students learn directly through the target language.

Develops comprehension and listening skills through physical activity, reducing stress associated with language learning.
Teacher issues commands in the target language and sets up comprehension scenarios.
Students actively participate by responding physically to commands.
Focused on physical movement, effective for beginners.
Teacher directs through commands; student responses evolve over time.
Reduces stress and creates a low-anxiety environment for learning.
