Grammar Translation Vs Method Direct Method

The Grammar Translation method focuses on reading and writing skills through memorization and explanation of grammar rules in the student's native language. In contrast, the Direct Method teaches exclusively in the target language through a focus on everyday vocabulary, visual aids, speaking and listening practice. It builds communication skills through a graded progression without reliance on translation. While Grammar Translation allows students to understand concepts in their native language, it limits the development of oral skills in the target language. The Direct Method immerses students but may be difficult for some learners and requires more materials.
