Abstract: Speaking is a core skill in language learning and teaching, and one of the most challenging to master. The Direct Method offers a powerful approach for improving speaking skills by immersing learners in the target language from the very beginning. Unlike traditional methods that rely on translation and grammar drills, the Direct Method emphasizes natural language use, real-life communication, and thinking in the second language. This article explores the theoretical background, principles, advantages, limitations, and classroom applications of the Direct Method in enhancing students’ oral communication skills. It also discusses how the method fosters confidence, fluency, and spontaneous language use among learners of different levels.
