A Comparison between "Direct Method" and Grammar "Translation Method". Different Language Teaching Methods

More about the book

The paper explores and compares two foreign language teaching methods: the Direct Method, which emphasizes communicative skills, and the Grammar Translation Method, focused on grammatical knowledge. It highlights that neither method is inherently superior; rather, they serve different educational objectives. The author suggests that integrating both approaches can enhance language acquisition, allowing for a tailored teaching strategy that aligns with individual learning goals.
