For teachers

The success in learning a foreign language depends largely on the teacher. Coursebooks and additional materials are certainly important but they will not substitute the teacher. Our company aims at every teacher collecting as much information about the method and methodology as possible. We would like to ensure that every teacher has access to necessary and good training and additional materials so that they can teach effectively.

1. Direct method

The obvious objective of the direct method is to teach the skill of communication in a foreign language. The method achieves this by minimizing the use of the mother tongue during the lesson, as well as through training linguistic reflexes. This leads to thinking in the target language, and hence, the ease of using the target language in practice is gained.

The method achieves strong emphasis on practice and oral training – listening and speaking. About 80% of lesson time is oral practice with the lesson consisting of a controlled dialogue in which the teacher asks questions based on previously introduced vocabulary and grammar. In this way, the new material is learned both in practice and in proper context.

Language lessons by means of the direct method are conducted almost exclusively in a foreign language.

Instructions are given by the teacher in a foreign language. The teacher also avoids translation into the student’s language. In further parts of the lesson, the new questions include currently introduced vocabulary or grammar, whereas the rest of the material is already familiar to the student from previous lessons.

Asking questions and answering them in small groups of students is probably the most commonly known way of learning for centuries. An intensive exchange of questions and answers between the teacher and the student serves the objective of mastering linguistic habits. The student gains automaticity of answers thanks to the imitation of full phrases and sentences.

The teacher puts strong emphasis on the accuracy of the answers in terms of pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, which fosters proper linguistic habits, and also motivates students to pay attention to producing flawless sentences.

Language learning is faster and much more efficient thanks to regular revision. In the direct method, a significant amount of lesson time is devoted to strictly organized revision of material; hence, students remember numerous amounts of vocabulary and grammar items quickly and for longer.

The pre-defined system of revision involves students’ multiple contact with each part of the material – starting from revision at the beginning of each lesson, through readings and grammar lessons, to revisions of greater parts of the material before exams.
