1. From Approaches and Methods in Language Teaching By J.C. Richards and T.S. Rodgers.
2. Background Before World War II, there were three methods: a) A modified Direct Method
Approach b) A Reading Approach. c) A Reading-Oral Approach.
3. Problems with these three methods: 1. They lacked standardization of vocabulary and
grammar. 2. No one could agree what was important to teach for beginning, intermediate or advanced
learners. 3. They basically, lacked STRUCTURE
4. The Army Specialized Training Program The Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP)
was started in 1942. Native speakers acted as an informant of the language and as a linguist, as in
the Direct Method. Students and informants gradually language, ten hours a day for six days a week.
learned a
5. The ASTP continued for two years and by the 1950s, as a result of many factors
Audiolingualism became a standardized way of teaching a language.
6. It changed everything again: a) It made the U.S. Government realize the need for new and
more intensive foreign language teaching methodology. b) The National Defence Education Act (1958)
provided money for training of teachers, the development of teaching materials and for the study and
analysis of modern languages.
7. The term Audiolingualism was coined by Professor Nelson Brooks (1964). In the
1960s, Audiolingualism began to lose its popularity, but this method is still used today.
8. Approach Theory of Language: Structuralism Structural linguistics influenced
Audiolingualism. Elements in a language are Phonology Morphology linearly produced in a rulegoverned way. Phrases Linguistic levels are pyramidally structured. Sentences
9. Approach Theory of Learning: Behaviourism Behavioural psychology influenced
Audiolingualism. Behaviourists believe that humans are organisms capable of learning many
behaviours. It depends on three elements: 1. Stimulus: Bring out behaviour. 2. Response: Triggered by
stimulus. 3. Reinforcement: Marks the response as being appropriate or not and encourages repetition
which is vital in the learning process.

11. Approach - Conclusions Foreign language learning is a process of mechanical habit
formation. Language skills are learned more effectively if they are learned in spoken form (drills)
rather than written form. Language must be learned in context of the linguistics and culture.

16. Procedure Extensive oral instruction is required where the target language is used.
Typical procedures: 1. Model dialogue. Repeat. Correction of mistakes. Memorize. 2. Dialogues are
adapted and then acted out. 3. Key structures are selected and used for pattern drills. 4. Textbooks.
Follow-up reading, writing activities may be introduced. 5. Follow-up activities in a language
laboratory. or vocabulary
17. The decline of Audiolingualism It was examined in many ways: 1. Theoretical
foundations were considered weak in both language theory and learning theory. 2. Practitioners
discovered that the practical results did not meet expectations. 3. Students were not able to transfer
skills to communication outside the classroom. 4. Many students found the classes boring and
unsatisfying. real
18. Noam Chomsky He rejected this approach. His theory of transformational grammar
said that language is creative and generated, not a habit. Language derives from innate aspects of the
mind and from how humans process experience through language.
19. Final Conclusion... Audiolingualism holds that language learning is like other forms of
learning. That is the reason why, it stresses the mechanistic aspects of language learning and language
use
described at any structural level of description. c) Linguistic levels were thought of as systems within
system.
6. Theory of learning to the behaviorist, the human being is an organism capable of a wide
repertoire of behaviors. The occurance of these behaviors is dependent on three crucial elements in
learning:a stimulus, which servesto elicit behavior; a response triggered by a stimulus; and
reinforcement, which serves to mark the response as being appropriate(or inappropriate)and encourages
the repetition(or suppression) of the response in the future
7. Theory of Learning : 1. Foreign language learning is basically aprocess of mechanical habit
formation. 2. 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. 3. Analogy provides a
better foundation for language learning than analysis. 4. The meanings that the words of a language
have for thenative speaker can be learned only in a linguistic and cultural context and not in isolation.
8. Design Objectives short-range objectives include training in listening comprehension,
accurate pronunciation, recognition of speech symbols as graphic signs on the printed page, and ability
to reproduce these symbols in writing. long-range objectives must be language as the native speaker
uses it. There must be some knowledge of second language as it is possessed by a true bilingualist.
9. The Syllabus Audiolinguism is a linguistic, or structure- based, approach to language
teaching. Linguistics syllabus contains the key items of phonology, morphology, and syntax of the
language arranged according to their order presentation. The language skills are taught in the order of
listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Listening is viewed largerly as training, but at more advanced
levels,more complex reading and writing tasks maybe introduced.
10. Types of Learning and Teaching Activities 1. Repetition : The students repeats an utterance
aloud as soon as he has heard it. 2. Inflection : One word in an utterance appears in another form when
repeated. 3. Replacement : One word in an utterance is replaced by another.
11. 4. Restatement : the students rephrases an utterance and addresses it to someone else,
according the instructions. 5. Completion : the students hears an utterance that is complete except for
one word, then repeats the utterance in completed form. 6. Transposition : a change in word order is
necessary when a word is added.
12. 7. Expansion : when a word is added it takes a certain places in the sequences. 8.
Contraction : a single word stands for a phrase or clause. 9. Transformation : a sentenceis transformed
by being made negative or interrogative or through changes in tens, mood, voice, aspect, or modality.
13. 10. Intergration : two seperate utterances are integratedinto one. 11. Rejoinder : the student
makes an appropriate rejoinder to a given utterance. 12. Restoration : the student is given a sequence of
words that have been culled from a sentence but still bear its basic meaning.
14. Learner roles learners play a reactive role by responding to stimuli, and thus have little
control over the content,pace, or style of learning. Teacher Roles The teachers role is central and
active; its a teacher-dominated method. The teacher controls the direction an monitors and corrects the
learners performance.
15. The Role of Instructional Materials Instructional materials in the Audiolingual method
assist the teacher to develop language mastery in the learner. A students textbook is often not used.
Tape recorders and audiovisual equipment often have central roles in an audiolingual course. Provides
accurate models for dialogues and drills.
16. Procedure 1. Modeling
17. 4. The students may refer to their textbook, and follow-up reading, writing, or vocabulary
activities based on the dialogue may be introduce. 5. Follow-up activities may take place in the
language laboratory, where further dialogue and the drill work is carried out.
18. The Decline of Audiolingualism The theoritical attack on audiolingual beliefs resulted
from changes in American linguistic theory in the 1960s. Students unable to transfer skills acquaired
through Audiolingualism to real communication outside the classroom, and audiolingual procedures to
be boring and unsatisfying.
19. Chomkys theory of transformational grammar proposed that the fundamental properties of
language derive from innate aspects of the mind and from how humans process experience through
language.
20. Conclusion Audiolingualism holds that language learning is like other forms of learning.
Focus on accuracy through drill and practice in the basic structures and sentences patterns of the target
language.
21. Question: 1. Can you give an example of the implements of reactive role in the class? (Nur
Azizah) A : by responding to stimuli.
22. Answer 2. Why students textbook isnt often used in the role of instructional materials?
(Lailatus) A: because in audiolingualism we focus on listening and speaking, so we dont need to use
textbook.
23. 3. Give the examples and practice of the 3 crucial elements. (Annisa). A : - stimulus : a
sentence, words, and/or using picture. - response : the students response what the teacher said or show
the pictures. - Reinforcement: a. Positive Reinforcement : b. negative : give a
24. 4. Which one is the most useful types of learning in class and should we do all of them?
(Heri) A : thats depends on the class situation and the goals.
25. 5. What is advantages and disadvantages of Audiolingualism? (Anies) Advantages : the
strength is in the accuracy. Disadvantages : the weakness is in the fluency.

habits of their native language.
8. The role of the teacher? ORCHESTRA LEADER Directing and controlling the
language behavior of the students. A good model for imitation.

9. The role of the students? Imitators of the teachers model. Follow the teachers
directions and respond as rapidly as possible!
10. The role of the students native language? It shouldnt be used since it interferes with the
students attemps to master the target language.
11. Some characteristics of the teaching/learning process? New vocabulary and structural
patterns are presented through dialogs. Dialogs learned through imitation and repetition. Drills
and positive reinforcements are used. Grammar is introduced from the examples, NOT explicitly.
12. The nature of student-teacher and student-student interactions? Most interaction is
between teacher and students. Student-student interaction: Chain drills Roles in dialogs.
But still teacher-directed
13. How are the feelings of the students dealt with? There are NOT any principles of the
method that relate to this area
14. How is the language and the culture viewed? Every language is seen as having its own
unique system. Culture consists of the everyday behavior and lifestyle of the target language
speakers.
15. How is the evaluation accomplished? The answer is NOT obvious, no formal test.
Distinguish between words in a minimal pair or supply an appropriate verb form in a sentence??
16. How does the teacher respond to student errors? Error Formation of bad habits. They
must be avoided!!!

1. The Audio-Lingual Method was developed in the United States during World War II. At that
time there was a need for people to learn foreign languages rapidly for military purposes.
2. GOALS Be able to listen, speak, read, and write in the target language, with emphasis on
listening and speaking
3. Principles of the Audio-Lingual Method The native language and the target language have
separate linguistic systems. The purpose of language learning is to learn how to use the language to
communicate. Speech is more basic to language than the written form. Language learning is a
process of habit formation.
4. What is the role of the teacher? The teacher is like an orchestra leader, directing and
controlling the language behavior of his/her students. She/He also is responsible for providing her
students with a good model for imitation. Students are imitators of the teacher's model or the tapes she
supplies of model speakers. They follow the teacher's directions and respond as accurately and as
rapidly as possible.
5. What is the role of the students The habits of the students' native language are thought to
interfere with the students' attempts to master the target language. Therefore, the target language is used
in the classroom, not the students' native language. A contrastive analysis between the students' native
language and the target language will reveal where a teacher should expect the most interference.

Transformation Drill 8. Question-and-answer Drill 9. Use of Minimal Pairs 10. Complete the Dialogue
11. Grammar Game
7. Dialogue Memorization Dialogues or short conversations between two people are often used
to begin a new lesson. Students memorize the dialogue through mimicry; students usually take the role
of one person in the dialogue, and the teacher the other. After the students have learned the one person's
lines, they switch roles and memorize the other person's part.
8. Backward Build-up (Expansion) Drill This drill is used when a long line of a dialogue is
giving students trouble. The teacher breaks down the line into several parts. The students repeat a part
of the sentence, usually the last phrase of the line. Then, following the teacher's cue, the students
expand what they are repeating part by part until they are able to repeat the entire line. The teacher
begins with the part at the end of the sentence (and works backward from there) to keep the intonation
of the line as natural as possible. This also directs more student attention to the end of the sentence,
where new information typically occurs.
9. Repetition Drill Students are asked to repeat the teacher's model as accurately and as quickly
as possible. This drill is often used to teach the lines of the dialogue.
10. Chain Drill A chain drill gets its name from the chain of conversation that forms around the
room as students, one- by-one, ask and answer questions of each other. The teacher begins the chain by
greeting a particular student, or asking him a question. That student responds, then turns to the student
sitting next to him. The first student greets or asks a question of the second student and the chain
continues.
11. Single-slot Substitution Drill The teacher says a line, usually from the dialogue. Next, the
teacher says a word or a phrase-called the cue. The students repeat the line the teacher has given them,
substituting the cue into the line in its proper place. The major purpose of this drill is to give the
students practice in finding and filling in the slots of a sentence.
12. Multiple-slot Substitution Drill This drill is similar to the single-slot substitution drill. The
difference is that the teacher gives cue phrases, one at a time, that fit into different slots in the dialog
line. The students must recognize what part of speech each cue is, where it fits into the sentence, and
make any other changes, such as subject-verb agreement
13. Transformation Drill The teacher gives students a certain kind of sentence, an affirmative
sentence for example. Students are asked to transform this sentence into a negative sentence. Other
examples of transformations are also used (in changing a statement into a question, an active sentence
into a passive one, or direct speech into reported speech).
14. Question-and-answer Drill This drill gives students practice with answering questions. The
students should answer the teacher's questions very quickly. It is also possible for the teacher to cue the
students to ask questions as well. This gives students practice with the question pattern.
15. Use of Minimal Pairs The teacher works with pairs of words which differ in only one sound;
for example, "ship/sheep." Students are first asked to perceive the difference between the two words
and later to be able to say the two words. The teacher selects the sounds to work on after she has done a
contrastive analysis, a comparison between the students' native language and the language they are
studying.
16. Complete the Dialogue Selected words are erased from a dialogue students have learned.
Students complete the dialogue by filling in the blanks with the missing words.
17. Grammar Game Games like the supermarket alphabet game described in this chapter are
often used in the Audio-Lingual Method. The games are designed to get students to practice a grammar
point within a context. Students are able to express themselves. Notice there is also a lot of repetition in
the game too.
1. 1 The Audio-Lingual Method
:
2. 2 Introduction-1 Like the Direct Method, it is also an oral-based approach. The AudioLingual Method drills students in the use of grammatical sentence patterns.
Unlike the Direct Method, it has a strong theoretical base in linguistics and psychology.
3. 3 Introduction-2 Charles Fries (1945) of the University of Michigan led the way in applying
principles from structural linguistics in developing the method, and for this reason, it has
sometimes been referred to as the Michigan Method. 1945
It was thought that the way to acquire the sentence patterns of the target language was through
conditioning helping learners to respond correctly to stimuli through shaping and
reinforcement. Learners could overcome the habits of their native language and form the new
habits required to be target language speakers.
induced from the examples given; explicit grammar rules are not provided. Cultural information
is contextualized in the dialogs or presented by the teacher. 4. What is the nature of studentteacher interaction? What is the nature of student- student interaction? There is student-tostudent interaction in chain drills or when students take different roles in dialogs, but this
interaction is teacher-directed. Most of the interaction is between teacher and students and is
initiated by the teacher.
19. 19 Reviewing the principles-3 6. How is the language viewed? How is the culture viewed?
Every language is seen as having its own unique system. The system is comprised of several
different levels: phonological, morphological, and syntactic. Each level has its own distinctive
patterns. Everyday speech is emphasized in the Audio-Lingual Method. Culture consists of the
everyday behavior and lifestyle of the target language speakers.
20. 20 Reviewing the principles-4 7. What areas of language are emphasized? What language
skills are emphasized? Vocabulary is kept to a minimum while the students are mastering the
sound system and grammatical patters. The natural order of skills presentation is adhered to:
listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The oral/aural skills receive most of the attention.
Pronunciation is taught from the beginning, often by students working in language laboratories
on discriminating between members of minimal pairs.
21. 21 Reviewing the principles-5 8.What is the role of the students native language? The
habits of the students native language are thought to interfere with the students attempts to
master the target language. 10.How does the teacher respond to student errors? Student errors
are to be avoided if at all possible through the teachers awareness of where the students will
have difficulty restriction of what they are taught to say.
22. 22 Reviewing the techiques-1 Dialog memorization Students memorize the dialog through
mimicry; a) Students usually take the role of one person in the dialog, and the teacher the other.
b) Another way of practicing the two roles is for half of the class to take one role and the other
half to take the other. c) After the dialog has been memorized, pairs of individual students might
perform the dialog for rest of the class. These patterns and points are later practiced in drills
based on the lines of the dialog.
23. 23 Reviewing the techiques-2 Backward build-up (expansion) drill This drill I used when a
long line of a dialog is giving students trouble. Repetition drill Students are asked to repeat the
teachers modal as accurately and as quickly as possible. This drill is often used to teach the
lines of the dialog. Chain drill A chain drill gets its name from the chain of conversation that
forms around the room as students, one-by-one, ask and answer questions of each other
24. 24 Reviewing the techiques-3 Single-slot substitution The major purpose of this drill is to
give the students practice in finding and filling in the slots of a sentence. Multiple-slot
substitution drill This drill is similar to the single-slot substitution drill. The difference is that
the teacher gives cue phrases, one at a time, that fit into different slots in the dialog line.
25. 25 Reviewing the techiques-4 Transformation drill The teacher gives students a certain kind
of sentence pattern, an affirmative sentence for example. Question-and-answer drill This drill
gives students practice with answering questions. This gives students practice with the question
pattern. Use of minimal pairs The teacher works with pairs of words which differ in only one
sound. Students are first asked to perceive the difference between the two words and later to be
able to say the two words.
26. 26 Reviewing the techiques-5 Complete the dialog Selected words are erased from a dialog
students have learned. Students complete the dialog by filling the blanks the missing words.
Grammar game Games like the supermarket alphabet game described in this chapter are used in
the Audio-Lingual Method. The games are designed to get students to practice a grammar point
within a context.
Founded around 1950s and 1960s, AL was based on an : the way to acquire the
sentence patterns of the target language is repetition of dialogues about every day
situations that are imitated and drilled to make the response automatic .
3. Structural Linguistic
Language is a system of structural related elements, like phonological units,
grammatical units, and lexical items, for the transmission of meaning. So to learn the
target language is to mater the elements of the target language system.
4. Behavioral Psychology
Language skills are learned more effectively if they are presented orally first, then in
written form.
The meaning of words can be learned only in a linguistic and cultural context.
5. Principles of AL
Use drills to teach the lines of dialogues.
Half of the class to take one role and the other half to take the other.
Some pairs of students might perform the dialogue for the rest of the class.
It allows some controlled communication among students and give the teacher an
opportunity to check students speech.
To recognize what part if speech each cue is and make any other changes, such as
subject-verb agreement.
To fit cue phrase into line where it belongs and to say the line loudly.
3. The U.S. government acknowledged the need for a more intensive effort to teachH foreign
languages in order to prevent Americans from becoming isolated from scientific advances made
in other countries. The National Defense Act (1958),I among other measures, provided funds
for the study and analysis of modern languages, for the development of teaching materials, and
for the training of teachers.S Teachers were encouraged to attend summer institutes to improve
their knowledge of foreign languages and to learn the principles of linguistics and theT new
linguistically based teaching methods. Language teaching specialists set about developing a
method that was applicable to condition in U.S. colleges and university classrooms. They drew
on the earlier experience of the army programsO and the Aural-Oral or Structural Approach
developed by Fries and his colleges, adding insights taken from behaviorist psychology. This
combination ofR structural linguistic theory, contrastive analysis, aural-oral procedures, and
behaviorist psychology led to the Audiolingual Method.Y
4. THE PRINCIPLES THE GOALS OF TEACHERS WHO USE THE AUDIO-LINGUAL
METHOD? 1. Able to use the target language communicatively 2. Learn to use language

responsible for providing her student with a good modal for imitation THE RULE OF
STUDENT They are imitators and having to follow the teacher direction and respond as

12. 12. Restoration The student is given a sequence of words that have been culled from a
sentence but still bear its basic meaning. He uses these words with a minimum of changes and
additions to restore the sentence to its original form. He may be told whether thc tinic is present,
past, or future.EXAMPLES : students/waiting /bus- The students are waiting tor the bus.
boys/build/house/tree-The boys built a house in the tree
Activities Using the Audio-Lingual Method
The audio-lingual method uses drill-and-practice exercises to teach a second or foreign language.
The audio-lingual method of language teaching came into vogue in the mid-twentieth century when
behaviorism dominated the educational landscape. The method with its much maligned "drill-and-kill"
activities fell into disfavor as more communicative teaching approaches took center stage. When the
newer methods produced students who could make themselves understood but with cringe-inducing
grammar and pronunciation, many language instructors found that they could best meet student needs
by including audio-lingual activities into an eclectic program.
1.
o
ALM Summarized
The audio-lingual method (ALM), also called the aural-oral or Army method, assumes
that language learning is a matter of habit formation and errors require immediate correction so that bad
habits cannot take hold. ALM relies on structured dialogues and repetitive drills to reinforce targeted
language forms. Critics of audio-lingualism charge that it is not a thinking-person's method and fails to
emphasize meaningful communication. However, research shows substantial language learning gains in
programs that combine communicative interactions with ALM's focus on language structure.
The Dialogue
o
ALM activities are anchored in dialogues presented at the beginning of each teaching
unit. These dialogues, with carefully controlled vocabulary and grammar, present a familiar
sociocultural context and showcase specific grammatical patterns that will be the focus of the unit.
Students are often asked to memorize dialogues and perform them in front of the class.
Repetition Drills
To aid in dialogue memorization, students attempt to repeat exactly what the teacher
says. Since ALM is based on listening and speaking, the dialogue may be presented through listen-andrepeat drills before students see the printed words in the textbook. Here is a typical exchange:
Teacher: "Hi, Mark. How's it going?"
Students: "Hi, Mark. How's it going?"
Backward Buildup
In this type of imitation drill, the teacher models language segments to be repeated,
starting at the end of the sentence and working back, adding a chunk at a time until the entire phrase
can be repeated fluently. For example:
Teacher: "Classroom."
Students: "Classroom."
Teacher: "The classroom."
Students: "The classroom."
Teacher: "In the classroom."
Students: "In the classroom."
Teacher: "Is in the classroom."
Students: "Is in the classroom."
Teacher: "Troy is in the classroom."
Students: "Troy is in the classroom."
Substitution Drills
o
Students repeat sentences, making small changes based on substitutions. The following
substitution drill reinforces subject-verb agreement:
Teacher: "Mary is in the classroom."
Students: "Mary in the classroom."
Teacher: "The girls."
Students: "The girls are in the classroom."
Teacher: "The child."
Students: "The child is in the classroom."
Teacher: "I."
Students: "I am in the classroom."
For more advanced substitution drills, the teacher can supply multiple constituents for substitution into
the sentence, as in:
Teacher: "Alex has a red car."
Students: "Alex has a red car."
Teacher: "The brothers. Three blue kites."
Students: "The brothers have three blue kites."
Transformation Drills
The teacher starts a question-and-answer chain by asking one student a question. That
student answers and then turns to the next student, asking the same question. One by one, students ask
and answer the question until all students have participated.
Teacher: "Hi, my name is Brooks. What's your name?"
Student 1: "I'm Yousef." (Turns to Student 2) "Hi, my name is Yousef. What's your name?"
Student 2: "I'm Sofia." (Turns to Student 3) "Hi, my name is Sofia. What's your name?"
Application and Extension Activities
According to Prator and Celce-Murcia in Brown (2001), the characteristics of theALM method may be
summed up in the following list:1.
New material is presented in dialogue form2.
There is dependence on mimicry, memorization of set phrases, and over-learning3.
Structures are sequenced by means of contrastive analysis and taught one atthe time4.
Structural patterns are taught using repetitive drills5.
There is little or no grammatical explanation. Grammar is taught by inductiveanalogy rather than by
deductive explanation6.
Vocabulary is strictly limited and learned in the context7.
Conclusion
Based on the explanation above, it is obvious that the techniques of teachingspeaking using Audio
Lingual Method are good. There are three most common oftechnique that is used by the teacher to
teach speaking through Audio LingualMethod, such as dialog memorization, repetition drill and
complete the dialog. Theeffectiveness of the technique are improved the speaking ability of the
students, the performance index can be tested, the authenticity of the dialog or the text isimportant.
However, the attainment is demanded on the both aspect; teacher andstudents.
