Bilingual Method
This is comparatively a recent method invented by Prof. C.J. Dodson (1967) of wales .
"This Method is a unique method which carries the merits of translation-cum-grammar method and Direct method and structural approach."
This method believes that while learning the mother tongue, the child has already established the concept of so many objects and things in his mind. It is there fore unless repeating these concept again while teaching a foreign language. if he knows the concept of a word in his mother tongue, we should give him the mother tongue equallent of a word of foreign language.
The word bilingual is generally used to refer to the knowledge of two languages by the same indivisual. This method teaches us a foreign language with the help child's native language.
