    Audio-Lingual Method

    Asyiqin

    DEFINITION

    The Audio-lingual Method is a method of


    foreign language teaching which emphasizes the
    teaching of listening and speaking before reading
    and writing.

    It uses dialogues as the main form of language


    presentation and drills as the main training
    techniques.

    Also known as the Army Method


    Popularised by the need to learn basic skills in
    foreign languages during WW 2.
    BACKGROUND

    The Audio-lingual Method was developed in the U.S. during the Second World War.

    At that time, the U.S. government found it a great necessity to set up a special language-training
    programme to supply the war with language personnel

    Therefore, the government commissioned American universities to develop foreign language programmme
    for military personnel

    Thus, the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP) was established in 1942.
    The objectives of the army programme was for students to attain conversational proficiency in a variety
    of foreign languages.
    The method used was known as the informant method, since it used a native speaker of the
    language, the informant, and a linguist.

    .The informant served as a source of language for imitation, and the linguist supervised the learning
    experience.

    The intensive system adopted by the army achieved excellent results.

    Language Focus
    Similiar to Direct Method
    Teaches the language directly
    Not Focusing on vocabulary
    Students are drilled in the use of grammar
    BEHAVIORIST PSYCHOLOGY

    Originated from the Behaviourist theory of learning


    languages (empirically based approach to the study of
    human behaviour)

    Behaviourist psychology states that people are


    conditioned to learn many forms of behaviour, including
    language, through the process of training or condtioning.
    Basic Principles

    Separation of language skills into listening, speaking,


    reading and writing with emphasis on the teaching of
    listening and speaking before reading and wrting;
    Use of dialogues as the chief means of presenting the
    languages;
    Emphasis on certain practice techniques: mimicry,
    memorization and pattern drills;
    Discouraging the use of the mother tongue in the
    classroom
    Objectives
    The general objectives of the Audio-lingual Method :
    To enable the target language communicatively.

    Short-range objectives include:


    training in listening comprehension
    accurate pronunciation
    reading comprehension and production of the Audio-
    lingual Method are the development of mastery in all four
    language skills
    Long-range objective/ Ultimate goal:
    to develop in the students the same types of abilities that
    native speaking have
    to use it automatically without stopping to think
    Methodology

    There are 4 parts to the Audio Lingual Method.

    Repitition
    The students repeat what the teacher says:

    Teacher: I want to buy some fruit


    Students: I want to buy some fruit

    The students copy the teacher word by word


    Inflection

    The teacher says a word or sentence, the students change


    the form of verb

    Teacher: I want to buy some fruit


    Students: I wanted to buy some fruit
    Replacement

    The teacher says a sentence and the students replace a


    word in the sentence.

    Teacher: I want to buy some bananas


    Students: I want to buy some apples
    Restatement

    The teacher says a sentence and the students rephrase the


    sentence.

    Teacher: Tell me to speak louder


    Students: Speak Louder
    Teacher/Learner roles

    In Audio-Lingual Method, the teacher is like an orchestra


    leader
    Providing students with a good model for imitation

    Students are imitators


    Example

    Sally: Where is the cat?


    Bill: The cat is under the table
    Introduces a new dialogue
    uses a backward build-up drill
    uses a repetition drill (group)
    initiates a chain drill (individual)
    leads a single-slot substitution drill
