why is it different to any other method?
The main focus of this method is in relaxing
And because it revolves 100% around speaking and listening, that means that there are no notes, no homework and most importantly no stress
“all stress inhibits true and effective learning”
general information
1
- influenced by Audiolingualism
- speech was held to be primary and writing secondary
- aural-oral training
- contrastive analysis
- dialogues and drills/repetition
- external manifestations of learning rather than on the internal processses
- Learners play a reactive role
The teachers big role:
The teacher takes full responsibility in the students learning and instead of forcing them to remember, they use memory hooks to try and aid them along the way.
In other words if the student forgets a word it’s the teachers fault
“your learning is my responsibility
Conclusion of the process
Guided through the language:
- basic words
- sentences
- basic conversations
“I am the architect, I build the house, and you decorate it”
