The direct instruction is not foreign to us because the education we experience is roughly that model. This model is easy to teach and learn. Direct instruction involves the teacher teaching the information, then students repeating the information. The teacher asks questions about the information, and the child responding to the teacher’s questions. If the answer is wrong, the teacher corrects it until the student gives the correct answer. This model can make students more patient because they need to do more practice. Also, when the teacher teaches, the student needs more force on what does the teacher said. Students acquire knowledge and skills through their teachers, and in some cases, students imitate the behavior of others to learn parts of the information or steps in skill more efficiently than working independently on their own.

Our topic is to teach Chinese to the non-Chinese native speaker. If you learning Chinese as a second language it is very difficult to learn. Especially spelling and speaking are some of the difficult parts. Direct instruction is a good way to learn. In the beginning, the teacher’s teaching is important. The teacher needs to guide the students on how to pronounce the words. Wrong pronunciations should be corrected, and corrected pronunciations should be practiced several times.

Also, the teacher will give you different practice for your level, when you mastered the language. For example, read a novel or watch a movie. It helps students have more interest to learn the language. Also, when you read a novel or watch a movie, you can learn more words. Direct instruction is the most versatile and practical of these learning methods.
