BDirect method

DLexical approach
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Silent Way
1. The Silent Way uses coloured Cuisenaire rods with beginners.
2. They stand for commands, objects, clocks or floor plans.
3. The other methods do not use the rods.
**Why not the others:** The direct method uses real objects and pictures, Suggestopedia uses music, and the lexical approach uses word chunks.
