Summary of Steps

The Audio-Lingual Method

  • New material is presented in dialogue form
  • Mimicry, overlearning, and memorization of set phrases
  • Constrasive analysis (comparison btw the student's native language and L2) and repetition to teach structure
  • No explicit grammar instruction
  • Limited vocab taught in a context
  • Reliance on visual aids, gestures, etc.
  • Pronunciation is important
  • Only speaking in target language
  • Positive reinforcement and shaping
