Direct Method by A. Febriana. S.

DIRECT METHOD

This direct method is a method that is simple, but a little tricky. In this method the teacher and students are strictly forbidden to use their mother tongue. They use is a second language. This method is good for beginners to provide heating when teach language. In order to increase the curiosity of students to what was said by the teacher. Of course if students are curious about what is taught by the teacher, will arise curiosity within themselves to find out what was said by the teacher and they will be interested as well get used to saying what the teacher is saying. Here will train students' ability, especially in listening and their speaking skill , followed again by their reading skills would be better. So the teacher should correct the pronunciation side here.

The teacher's role here is only mastered the language he uses entirely. Teachers must use language that is taught fully, not allowed to use a language other than the language being taught. We demonstrated if a teacher teaches English, teachers are required to use the English language from the beginning to the end of the explanation. May not use a language other than English.

If there is a student who does not understand what the teacher explained the meaning of words, and asked to the teacher, the teacher can only practices, until the student understands what is being said by the teacher. To that end, teachers are advised to bring props as a tool that can help to make students better understand what the teacher meant.

This method is the same as the method of teaching is done by a mother to her child who has not understood anything. At first mom taught word for word to his son, and shows, to aspire to the child what is meant by the words of his mother. Furthermore, the child will understand what is spoken mother and the child will then be familiar and remember it.

In specific teaching methods certainly all have the same goal. But certainly has its drawbacks. Including this method. This method is good for starters for the students, so that they are more like the language we teach. But if this method that used to start from the beginning to the end of learning, then it would make students less understanding about what is meant by teachers fluent. Because they are too busy looking for what purpose the teacher beforehand. Learning will also be chaotic if there are students who are not at all interested and curious if the teacher is not successful in attracting the attention of disciples.

If we look at today, this method can only be used in language classes. Because they have a high curiosity. However, if applied with regular classes, students naturally tend to play, because they do not understand what the teacher said. Sense of boredom students today are much higher in their study than sense want to know to a science, especially foreign languages.
