We know that we live in modern age which is based on technology and changes. At the present time everything is changeable, especially in teaching the English language.

Direct method of teaching a foreign language is based on the direct involvement of the student when speaking and listening to the foreign language in common everyday situations. The focus of this method is on good pronunciation.According to Brown, there are various methods which can be applied in the teaching learning process. First, it is Direct Method (DM). The basic premise of DM is that the second language learning should be more like first language learning- lots of oral interaction, spontaneous use of the language, no translation between first and second languages, and little or no analysis of grammatical rules.[1;p28] The essence of this technique is that the teacher pays more attention to studying the spoken language directly, which is used in everyday life.

The basic approach is to analyze and study the grammatical rules of the language and practice grammatical structures through the means of translation both into and from the mother. However, it does little to improve your ability to use the language for oral communication. There are some activities in this method. For example: The class begins with a reading passage the English literature. Each student is called upon to read a few lines from the passage, then they translate into their mother tongue the few lines they have just
