Focus of methodology
classroom techniques and procedures
assumes that conscious control of grammar is necessary for

Explanation of a grammar rule, with sample sentences.
(b) Vocabulary, presented in the form of a bilingual list.
(c) A reading selection, emphasizing the rule presented in

typically begins with a dialogue, which contains the

Audio- Lingualism
mimic the dialogue and eventually memorize it
Audio -Lingualism
drills ‘strengthen habits’ and makes the pattern ‘automatic’
Audio- Lingualism
basic drill types of audio-lingual:
(a) Simple repetition
(b) Substitution
(c) Transformation
(d) translation
conscious control is necessary for acquisition, that
conscious knowledge of grammar can be assessed at all
times
Direct Method
language used in the classroom is the target language
Direct Method
focuses on inductive teaching of grammar ’
Direct Method
insists on accuracy and errors correction in class
Direct Method
absence of error corrections in the classroom
Natural
class time is for providing input for acquisition
Natural

students may use either the first and second language
Natural
homework may include formal grammar work
Natural
absencobeying commands given by the instructor that
