How does the direct method work in an online e-learning course?

Just great! We think that no other method is as effective in e-learning as the direct method.

When we analyse the basic assumptions of the direct method, which date back to the nineteenth century, we have a strong impression that its creators foresaw the age of computers and the Internet. You start with listening comprehension and later on go on to writing. This feature of the direct method makes it possible to implement it into an e-learning system.

The key principles of the direct method

• the natural way of communication
• focus on communication
• rapid learning of new words and grammar
• high efficiency
