    The Audio-Lingual method emphasizes listening and speaking through dialog repetition and drilling. It originated during World War II as the Army Method to efficiently teach soldiers foreign languages. The method uses dialogs, pattern drills, and strict avoidance of errors to teach grammar inductively through imitation and reinforcement. While it effectively teaches pronunciation and automatic response, it is behaviorist in approach and neglects meaning, individual differences, and other skills.

    AUDIO-LINGUAL METHOD

    1
    INTRODUCTION
    The Audio-Lingual method, Army Method
    or New Key is a style of teaching used in
    teaching foreign languages which
    emphasizes listening and speaking before
    reading and writing. It is based on the
    structural view of the language and
    behaviorist theory of language learning.  It
    uses dialogues as the main form of language
    presentation and drills as the main training
    techniques

    2
    HISTORY
    o The Audio-Lingual
    Method of teaching has
    its origins during World
    War II when it became
    known as Army Method

    o After WW II this module is


    modified by Charles Fries and
    it is also called Aural Oral
    Approach. According to Fries
    “Language should be taught
    using intensive oral drilling of
    its basic patterns”

    3
    How does Audio-Lingual
    Method work ?
    The main activities include reading aloud
    dialogues, repetitions of model sentences, and
    drilling. Key structures from the dialogue serve
    as the basis for pattern drills of different kinds.
    Lessons in the classroom focus on the correct
    imitation of the teacher by the students. Not
    only are the students expected to produce the
    correct output, but attention is also paid to
    correct pronunciation. Although correct grammar
    is expected in usage, no explicit grammatical
    instruction is given. It is taught inductively. 
    Furthermore, the target language is the only
    language to be used in the classroom.

    The Principles of Audio-Lingual Method

    o Instructions are given in the target language

    o Language forms occur within a context

    o Students’ native language interferes as little


    as possible with the students’ attempts
    to acquire

    o Teaching is directed to provide students with


    a native –speaker like a model

    o Analogy provides a better foundation for


    language learning than analysis

    5
    The Principles of Audio-Lingual Method
    o Errors are carefully avoided because they lead
    to the formation of bad habits

    o Positive reinforcement helps the student to


    develop correct habits

    o students are encouraged to learn to respond


    to verbal and non-verbal stimuli

    o The teacher is regarded as an orchestra


    leader conducting, guiding and controlling the
    students’ behavior in the target language

    o learning a foreign language is treated on par


    with the native language

    6
    Drill Technique
     Drilling means listening to a model
    provided by the teacher, or a tape or
    another student, and repeating what
    is heard. Types of drills

    Repeat after 1.Backward Build-up Drill


    me! 2.Repetition Drill
    3.Chain Drill
    4.Single-slot Substitution Drill
    5.Multiple-slot Substitution Drill
    6.Transformation Drill
    7.Question and Answer Drill

    7
    Advantages Disadvantages

    Automatic learning Too much repetition


    without stopping

    Only language form is


    It is emphasized in
    considered while
    sentence production
    meaning is neglected

    Easy to execute for Equal importance is not


    large groups given to all four skills

    Correct pronunciation
    Based on mechanical
    and structure are
    emphasized and
    learning and there is
    acquired no room for error
