The teacher who uses the Direct Method intends that students learn how to communicate in the target language.In order to do this, when the teacher introduces a new target language word or phrase, the teacher demonstrates its meaning through the use of realia, pictures, or pantomime, and never translate it into the student's native language.Although the teacher directs the class activities, the student role is less passive than the Grammar-Translation Method.The teacher responds to the student errors by employing various techniques, tries to get students to self-correct whenever possible.The initiation of the interaction goes both ways, from the teacher to students and from student to teacher, although the latter is often teacher directed.In order to do this successfully, students should learn to think in the target language.

Although the teacher directs the class activities, the student role is less passive than the Grammar-Translation Method. The teacher and the students are more like partners in the teaching/learning process.
The teacher believes that the students need to associate meaning and the target language directly. In order to do this, when the teacher introduces a new target language word or phrase, the teacher demonstrates its meaning through the use of realia, pictures, or pantomime, and never translate it into the student’s native language.
The initiation of the interaction goes both ways, from the teacher to students and from student to teacher, although the latter is often teacher directed. Students converse with one another as well.
Language is primarily spoken, not written. Therefore, students study common, everyday speech in the target language. They also study culture consisting history of the people who speak in the target language, the geography of the country where the language is spoken, and information about the daily lives of the language speakers.
The student is asked to use the language such as using both oral and written skills in the evaluation. For example, the students might be interviewed orally by the teacher or might be asked to write a paragraph about something they have studied.
The teacher responds to the student errors by employing various techniques, tries to get students to self-correct whenever possible.
