THE DIRECT METHOD
Hello everybody! What I could understand about this method is:
The direct method of teaching was developed as a response to the Grammar-Translation method. I think this is nice because grammar developed is very important when some one is learning a second second or a foreign language.
I liked the principle of this method that says the native language should not be used in the classroom. This is totally right because it is suppose people are learning a new language and they have to practice.
Another thing it is very important showed in this method is the pronunciation should be worked on right from the beginning of language instruction. Yeha!!! Because we start speeking with mistakes we will speeking with them all the time!!!!
Hi, as you said pronunication, grammar and other things are really important when we are learning a new language, so its means that a teacher has to start from the biginning to work on it. and I think that we as students can learn from one to another but maybe we can make mistakes, but the thing is that we have to take risk right? so if we are wrong in somehting that way the teacher is there because he/she has to correct us. suggestopedia method is nice I think but as I have mentioned in other blogs with kindergarten students because of the environment in whinch they have to learn. I mean they have to play, sing, etc, so in that area can it be workfull.
ResponderEliminarFossilization is a term used to describe the continuos repetition of a mispronounced word for years and years. This occurs when you have pronounce a word for all your entire life. NOw you can see the importance of the teacher correcting mistakes; otherwise, students will fossilize.
