    The direct method in teaching a language aims to directly associate words, phrases, meanings and rules with experiences without using the learner's native language. It intends to build a direct connection to the target language to help students learn to communicate naturally. This method assumes learners should experience the new language similarly to how they learned their native tongue, without considering their existing language. Known as the natural method, it was developed in reaction to grammar-based teaching and aims to immerse learners in the target language as naturally as possible. The main goal is perfect command of the foreign language by thinking in it like the native tongue in the most natural way.

    Direct method in teaching a language is directly establishing an immediate and audio visual

    association between experience and expression, words and phrases, idioms and meanings, rules
    and performances through the teachers' body and mental skills, without any help of the learners'
    mother tongue.

    Direct method of teaching languages aims to build a direct way into the world of the target
    language making a relation between experience and language, word and idea, thought and
    expression rule and performance .This method intends for students to learn how to communicate
    in the target language.
    This method is based on the assumption that the learner should experience the new language in
    the same way as he/she experienced his/her mother tongue without considering the existence of
    his/her mother tongue.
    The direct method is also known as natural method. It was developed as a reaction to the
    grammar translation method and is designed to take the learner into the domain of the target
    language in the most natural manner.
    The main objective is to impart a perfect command of a foreign language. The main focus being
    to make the learner think in the targeted language in the same manner as the learning of his/her
    mother-tongue in the most natural way. In traditional language-learning, pupil participation was
    found to be diminished as the teaching is perceived to be long and monotonous.
    Communicative approach :
    communicative approach, is an approach to language teaching that emphasizes interaction as
    both the means and the ultimate goal of study. Learners in environments using CLT techniques
    learn and practice the target language by interactions with one another and the instructor, the
    study of "authentic texts" (those written in the target language for purposes other than language
    learning), and the use of the language both in class and outside of class.

    Learners converse about personal experiences with partners, and instructors teach topics outside
    of the realm of traditional grammar to promote language skills in all types of situations. That
    method also claims to encourage learners to incorporate their personal experiences into their
    language learning environment and to focus on the learning experience, in addition to the
    learning of the target language.

    According to CLT, the goal of language education is the ability to communicate in the target
    language. This is in contrast to previous views in which grammatical competence was commonly
    given top priority. CLT also focuses on the teacher being a facilitator, rather than an instructor.
    Furthermore, the approach is a non-methodical system that does not use a textbook series to
    teach the target language but works on developing sound oral and verbal skills prior to reading
    and writing.
