The Direct Method, also known as the Natural Method, is a language teaching approach that stresses the use of the target language for instruction. It relies on immersion in real-life situations rather than analyzing grammar rules or translation. The teacher uses only the target language and prioritizes speaking and listening over reading and writing.
Language Teachers react to a demonstration of an Callan Method Lesson. We give our expert opinions on the teaching in this real example of a Callan class.
The Callan Method, developed by Robin Callan in the 1960s, employs constant repetition and drilling of grammar and vocabulary to facilitate efficient language learning. Typically taught in small classes, the method emphasizes speaking and listening skills through teacher-led dialogues, correction of errors, and exercises. The approach aims for fluency in a short period, but its intensive nature requires high commitment and self-discipline, and it may not be suitable for all learners.
