Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Direct Method in teaching speaking skills in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. The Direct Method emphasizes the exclusive use of the target language and focuses on oral communication through interactive activities, such as question–answer practice, dialogues, and daily conversation. The purpose of this study is to describe how the Direct Method is applied in speaking instruction and to identify its effectiveness in improving students’ speaking ability. A qualitative research design was employed, using classroom observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings indicate that the Direct Method encourages active student participation and increases students’ confidence in using English orally. It also helps improve pronunciation, fluency, and students’ ability to express ideas spontaneously. However, challenges such as limited vocabulary and students’ difficulty in understanding instructions in English were also identified. Despite these limitations, the Direct Method is considered effective in creating a communicative learning environment. This study suggests that the Direct Method can be a useful approach for teaching speaking skills when teachers provide clear guidance, appropriate learning materials, and sufficient opportunities for practice.
