A lot has been said about the direct teaching method or the natural learning method as many name it for teaching early childhood English Language Learners.
We all do Direct teaching with the little ones, we don't teach them grammar such as saying this the noun, the plurals and so on. We just model sentences and the students repeat and then substitute with new words and structures and language just evolves.
Provide dynamic interaction with activities that you can include in your lesson plan.
A kindergarten class is always full of flashcards, puppets and many props. Games and activities are done without translation, it is more with imitation, miming and students just get it so fast.
Children learned their native language at home in a natural way, the same method works for them.
Of course, many techniques and practices should take place to execute the direct method.In future posts I will add some ideas but my other blog there are many ideas on how to use flashcards, small cards, cutouts, worksheets and games for speaking and listening opportunities.
