BACKGROUND

The Army Method lasted only about two years but attracted considerable attention in the academic community. It convinced an oral-based approach for teaching language. Thus, Oral Approach was developed. That method led to the method that came to be known as Audio Lingual Method(ALM).

The entry of the US into World War II had a significant effect on language teaching in America. In those times,they set up a special language training program whose name was Army Method.
