According to the suggestion below, add 2 paragraphs in the reaserch paper
1) You might want to add a section early on in the paper (perhaps in the introduction or the first paragraph or your literature review) that talks about the specific characteristics that differentiate adult learners from younger learners. You do mention that, due to other responsibilities, adult learners have to learn the language in a short amount of time, but what are some other differences they demonstrate? Doing a thorough review of these traits is important to your paper, because your argument regarding the effectiveness of certain teaching methods will depend on these characteristics.
2) The part of your paper where you conclude which method seems to be the most effective (i.e., direct method) is somewhat underdeveloped (your last paragraph before your conclusion). This would be a good place to do a thorough comparison of the different methods you discussed earlier in your paper and make a stronger argument for why you think the direct method is the most effective (based on your earlier review of the characteristics of adult learners).
You might find that you’ll have to cut down on some of the descriptions you have in your paper to be able to further expand on the points I suggested above.
