Direct Method
A method of language learning associated with
Francois Gouin and Charles Berlitz. Second language learning should model first
language learning in that it should be learned directly; grammar is taught inductively with no explanations, the
learner’s first language is not used in the class, and new vocabulary is
introduced by demonstration. One of many highly idiosyncratic methods that were
developed in the 1970’s.
