The audio-lingual method

(A.K.A. The Army Method)

The Audio-Lingual method of teaching had its origins during World War II when it became know as the Army Method, emphasizes the teaching of listening and speaking before reading and writing .

This method is currently in use, lessons on an individual basis rather than as the basis of the course. 

Some techniques that can be applied with the Audio-Lingual method are:

• REPETITION DRILL. Students should repeat what the teacher is explaining quickly and effectively.

• SUBSITITUTION DRILL. Students should repeat the dialogue that the teacher has assigned, substituting the sign on the line in its proper place.

• QUESTION-AND-ANSWER DRILL. Students will be subjected to a question and answer either by the teacher asking them questions, or by asking them to ask questions of their classmates. 

• TRANSFORMATION DRILL. Students will be able to change sentences either from affirmative to negative or vice versa.
