A comparison between the Direct Method and the Grammar Translation Method must take into account the following points:

i. The Direct Method:

1. avoids close association between the second or foreign language and the mother tongue.

2. lays emphasis on speech.

3. follows the child's natural way of learning a language.

4. teaches the language by 'use' and not by 'rule'.

5. does not favour the teaching of formal grammar at the early stage.

ii. The Grammar Translation Method:1. maintains close association between the foreign language and the mother tongue.

2. lays emphasis on speech.

3. follows the adult's natural way of learning a language.

4. teaches the language by 'rule' and not by 'use.

5. teaches formal grammar from the very beginning.
