COMPARISON OF TWO METHODS (DIRECT METHOD AND SUGGESTOPEDIA)

Direct Method

Since GTM was not efficient again to give informal direction, Direct Method became popular. The Direct Method revived as a method when the goal of instruction became learning how to use a foreign language to communicate.
The basic rule of Direct Method is not translation is allowed during teaching learning process. This method is used in low level secondary school, the class has thirty students for one hour, three times a week.

Suggetopedia

According to Georgi Lozanov believes that language learning can occur at a much faster rate than what ordinary transpires. The reason is that we setup psychological barriers to learning: we fear that we will be unable to perform that will limit our ability and make we fail. In order to make better use of our mental reserves we need “desuggested”. Suggestopedia, the application of the study of suggestion to pedagogy has been develop to help student eliminate their feeling in facing the barriers to learning.
This method is use for beginners in university. There are sixteen students in the class. The class meets for two hours, three morning a week.
