Sometimes called the natural method
It is often used in teaching foreign languages.
This method has one basic rule and that
is that no translation is allowed.
It was established in Germany and France around
1900.
Features:
teaching concepts and vocabulary through
pantomiming, real-life objects and other
visual materials
teaching grammar by using an inductive
approach (i.
e.
having learners find out
rules through the presentation of adequate
linguistic forms in the target language)
centrality of spoken language (including a
native-like pronunciation)
focus on question-answer patterns
teacher-centering
Principles:
Native tongue is not used in the classroom.
The learner is actively involved in using
the language in realistic everyday situations.
Students are encouraged to think in the
target language.
