Principles

r

Foreign language learning is basically a process of mechanical habit formation. The student are able to give correct response rather than by making mistake.Language skills are learned more effectively if the items to be learned in the target language are presented in spoken form before they are seen in written form. Aural-oral training is needed to provide the foundation for the development of other language skills.Drills can enable learners to form correct analogies. Hence the approach to the teaching of grammar is essentially inductive rather than deductive.The meaning that the words of a language have for the native speaker can be learned only in a linguistic and cultural context and not isolation.

The role of the students is they are imitators of the teacher’s model of the tapes he/she supplies of model speakers. They follow the teacher’s directions and respond as accurately and as rapidly as possible.

Conclusion

r

students might be asked to distinguish between minimal pair, for example, r to supply an appropriate verb from a sentence.Students errors are to be avoided if all possible through the teacher’s awareness of where the students will have difficulty and restriction of what they are taught to say.

Activies
ALM activities can be extended to achieve limited communicative expression. Application activities might include responding to open-ended drills, adapting the dialogue to new situations, using language from the lesson as the basis for personal expression and performing role plays that depart from the dialogue to some degree.

Advantages
&
Disadvantages

Advantages

Learners be able speaking the target language comunicatively.

Learners have no difficulties to understand the lesson as it is carried out in the mother tongue

Learners more concern about the combination between behavioral psychology and linguistic.

Disadvantages

Speaking or any kind of spontaneous creative output was missing from the curriculum.

Students lacked an active role in the classroom.

Very little attention is paid to communication.

Very little attention is paid to content.

Process of learning only focus in speaking.

Because of all these disadvantages, instructors tried to find better ways to remedy the pitfalls of the audiolingual method.

Goals

r

The goals of teachers who use The Audio-Lingual Method are they want their students to be able to use the target language communicatively. They believe students need to over learn the target language, to learn to use it automatically without stopping to think. Their students achieve this by forming new habits in the target language and overcoming the old habits of their native language.
